The Flip Flop Lifestyle

I have been doing a ton of reading lately - probably too much. Looking back over the Success or Failure post from a couple of days ago, I decided I needed to put one more project on my plate and write an e-book. Time is precious these days - selling real estate is my primary source of income and between taking care of my own clients and helping manage the team, it can take up quite a bit of time each day. Maintaining that is critical and most of the “lifestyle design” projects that I am working on get pushed in to my personal time - nights and weekends - hence this post getting written around 1:00 am when I have to get up at 5:30 am.

First off - as I am writing this, I am pretty much a newcomer to the wacky world of blogging. It’s been a fun learning experience so far and I know I really haven’t scratched the surface. My first goal was to learn some of the technical stuff - since I have a Wordpress blog I needed to learn the ins and outs of the control panel, etc. Standard stuff.

Once the blog was up it was simply a matter of writing posts. I really never have a shortage of things to say, so that’s the easy part.

I love Barnes and Noble - the shear amount of knowledge contained on those shelves is amazing to me. It’s an addiction, really. I have to limit myself every single time I go in that store.

I actually just finished a very good book by Pat O’Bryan called “Your Portable Empire” and it had a ton of great information. I read all the reviews on it and they seem to be split down the middle - either people loved it or hated it. And did so passionately. This in and of itself is generally a good indicator that it is probably a good read. Anything that ruffles peoples feathers a little bit is generally interesting…
