Books to read

I find myself searching for good books to keep me inspired and it never fails that there are so many out there and I could spend a fortune on buying books. But I don't have a lot of time to read these days. That's my first mistake. I read somewhere to take time to read, no matter what. If you are in network marketing, take time to read from those who have been there. Read books, look at videos, listen to MP3's or recordings from the mentors who have already done what you are trying to do.

That makes sense. I really didn't want to spend a fortune on tons of books yet so I went to some swap meets, book swaps and thrift stores and I did find some of the classics and a few books that I thought would help me on my journey and I bought them at a fraction of the cost.

My first read was by Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World. Most internet marketers and salespeople worldwide know who this man is but I had no clue. He is a bestselling author and this book was first copywrited in 1968. It is a great story about learning a few simple principles that can change your life. I rate it an A+

The next book I read was a bit different. Called the Power of Passion, Acheive your own Everests by Alan Hobson and Jamie Clarke. What a powerful, insightful, moving story of their journey to climb Mt. Everest. Even if you're not a fan of mountain climbing, this book is very inspriational.

So now I am reading some books by Richard Carlson, M.D. about Sweating the Big Stuff and Don't Sweat The Small Stuff. I just love this guy, he makes me really think about so many things that just get in the way of progress.
