Reference Books for Your Professional Life

October 20, 2007 by Chris Bohn

Reference Books for Your Professional Life

We have all heard the old saying  “Hindsight is 20/20”, isn’t that so very true?  We have all said it to ourselves throughout our careers.  Since the beginning of 2007, I have been saying it to myself quite a bit.  Especially after reading these two books.  Let me share my story…..

Earlier this year, I found myself personally and professionally knee deep in “BURN-OUT Mode”.  Last year (2006) was a record setting year for me professionally, but the other parts of my life were in “neglected” mode. With the new year 2007,  I found myself running on empty. And by March 07 our wonderful “seller market” had changed, and me being a buyers agent, I began to panic about “where are all the buyers?!”.  Anxiety, frustration, desperation, depression, etc……sound familiar? Serious burn-out.

 In the spring, I read two books that have helped me very much – professionally and personally. I want to recommend them to everyone with a need to “feed their empty tanks”.

Please, take an afternoon to read “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason. It was a BIG, giant lightbulb going off in my brain.  I wish I had read this book while I was in college.  If I would have implemented this rule in this book 20 years ago, I would be so much better financially.  (remember hindsight is 20/20?)   This book should be required reading for every college student.  It’s short and precise, and easy read in one day.   I have a copy on my desk as part of my reminder to “follow the rule”.  My son is 14 now, but I will make sure he reads it and follows this rule as soon as he gets his first part-time job!

 My next read was The Power of Focus, by Jack Canfield. This book was a HUGE, real kick in my poor-attitude and I recommend this one to everyone.  Currently,  I am working on reading this book a second time, with my husband.  We both are now working to understand the power of focus on our personal goals.  This is another book that I wish I would have read the first day I began my real estate career.  It’s NOT a real estate book either – it’s a book for any working professional.

Make it a great day!  Win the Day!    Go buy yourself a book that may help you fill your empty tank!
