Do you like to read? Do you listen to audio books while driving, walking, etc? Do you like to gather the best ideas in the universe and synergize them into a plan for yourself? I’m an avid reader and whenever I hear someone rave about a book, I have to see for myself if what the author says can be helpful to me in my life and work. So I’ll update this list as I become aware of books that have substance. They won’t all be about real estate or business, but a lot of them will have tidbits you can apply to improve your own existence on this planet. Check out your local library before spending your cash. I’ll try to create categories that make sense. Happy reading!
