5 LIFE-Changing Books EVERYONE Must Read!

I've been wanting to create a POST like this for a couple years now, so I am finally SHARING.  No gatekeeping.🤣 I was just thinking about what my wife Melissa & I "DO" besides selling real estate, and cozy clothes. ... and came to the realization that we also provide FREE COACHING to our community, friends and clients ... thru our Podcast, newsletters and social media posts.  I think we both have a strong sense of obligation and desire to give back and share with others what we have learned thru our experiences in the corporate world (15 years) and now as entrepreneurs (past decade+), to help you improve YOUR personal life and work life.  We don't compare or compete with others. For me the struggle is only within myself - to become the best person I can be, and there's always room for improvement. There is no finish line. 

The biggest difference for me when I was working in the corporate world, for Eddie Bauer HQ and later Amazon, is I was just going thru the motions and not doing a lot of personal development outside of work.  Once I joined Keller Williams Realty in 2011 that all changed!  The culture at KW is one of coaching and "lifelong learning". I immersed myself into real estate seminars, conferences, sales training, and started reading 2-3 books every month thru Audible. In the past decade I've read over 100+ books on business and life.

I wanted to share THE Top 5 Books that CHANGED MY LIFE - not just my business, but personal life too.  I feel like DISTRACTION is taking over many people's lives and finding time to focus is becoming even tougher.  PHONE ADDICTION is a real problem and I have struggled with it myself.  If you only read 1 book this year, make it THE ONE THING book. Distraction leads to goals not getting accomplished, which leads to Discouragement and Depression. Having focus and working towards your goals = happiness & success. Simple but not easy to do. Here are the 5 BOOKS that will help with that.

LINK to BUY TheOneThing book on Amazon.  Just identify your "1 thing" - in your personal life, work, etc and focus on doing that before you do anything else. It's really that simple.

I also HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND these books. These books WILL change your life 100%:

Atomic Habits - You are your habits! This book teaches you how to change those habits and/or create new ones. I have a lot of goals, and learning how to create habits to support those goals is the real key to success.

Think and Grow Rich - Reading this book for the 1st time over a decade ago turned my world upside down. I grew up thinking the key to riches was to work hard. That is important, but more important is what you are thinking. The key to success is your mindset. This started my journey into exploring this concept of Mindset and how to build a powerful abundant mindset. One of my favorite quotes: If you think you can, or think you can't, you are Right!

The Four Agreements - The agreements are so simple to understand, but so many people struggle with controlling their thoughts and feelings. The one agreement that blew my mind was "Don't take anything personally". This gave me so much freedom & peace... it taught me that I can only control how I feel and how I choose to react. (I can't control what others do.)  And I shouldn't worry about what other people think or say about me, and never let anyone affect your positivity. You must protect that at all cost!

EXTRA CREDIT:

12 Week Year - for those of you that want to 10X your productivity or guarantee you get some real sh*t done this year. :) This book has the template you need to chunk down your year into 12 weeks.  These books will help you regain your focus and productivity, and at the end of year you'll have real growth and results to show for it.
