I'm going to spill the beans today!
As many of you know, I do a lot of reading. I typically read about 2 or 3 books a week. I do this to stay well informed for my benefit as well as yours.
I'm often asked how I do it. Where do I find time to do that much reading? Well, if the truth be told, about 90% of all the books are audio books. This allows me to listen during all those down times throughout the day. Like when I am driving, during my walks, waiting in the checkout line, getting my oil changed, and so much more!
About 5 years ago, I found this great website called Audible.com. They have thousands of books that I can download right off the internet, onto my computer.
From there, this easy to use program allows me to listen from my computer, burn to a disc so I can listen in my car, or download directly into my IPOD.
Most of the books I choose have to do with business and financing, however, they also have fiction novels, travel books, self help books, radio shows and periodicals, you name it. There are best sellers by top authors like Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Stephen King, Dan Brown and more. There are also audio magazines like Forbes and Scientific American; audio newspapers like The New York Times Audio Digest; and even radio shows like Car Talk and This American Life!
Listen on your commute, at the gym, or anywhere you go. It's a great way to learn, and be entertained at the same time. I find I listen to subjects that I normally wouldn't think about.
So now you know one of my best kept secrets about how to stay informed and educated. Statistics say that if you spend 1 hour a day reading in your field, in three to five years you will be a national expert. So I strongly recommend this service. The plan I use is about $23 dollars per month.
The amount of knowledge you will gain, the time you will save and the fun you'll have doing it will likely make this the best $20 purchase that you'll make each month.
Thanks for letting me share with you. Don't forget, whenever you have real estate questions, give me a call or shoot me a quick email. If I don't have the answer, I know where to find it. I stay informed, and will always give you honest answers. But then, you already knew that, didn't you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
Ken
