Anyone read BP member David Krulac's book??

Question

How I started with nothing and made $12M in Real Estate.

I was spending my Visa rewards on Amazon and came across his book. I'm thinking of buying it, but I've read so many real estate books, I'm kind of burnt out on em. Sounds like something different though (case studies) and I think it looks interesting. Any reviewers willing to comment?

Anyone reading anything good? I'm ordering The One Thing by Gary Keller. Heard it is a great book and a must read.

I learned a lot about living well from reading Jim Rohn's 5 Major Pieces of the Life's Puzzle. Get the book then go eat some greasy food. The book is only about 110 pages so you should be able to finish it while you're on the commode the next day! LOL

The one important lesson he teaches: Whatever you feel now, money will only exacerbate that. If you aren't happy having no money, you'll just be more miserable with it. If you're cheap, you'll be cheaper. If you have a bad attitude, you'll be meaner. If you like to give, you'll give more. If you're happy, you'll be happier. So,  be happy with what you have, who you are, and how you live. Happiness is an art form, not a destination.

Aaron - Thanks A LOT for that summary. Honestly, that's one of the most powerful summations, written plain-and-simple, that I've ever read, about anything.

It's a VERY good reminder and very applicable to my life right now, my aspirations in real estate and life in general, and more importantly, with how can impact/benefit others.

So... thank you for posting. Very, very helpful.

I agree with honesty being critical, but you also have innovative strategies that work, that you explain clearly, and a ton of experience.  You've also been here for years, did a great presentation at the BP Summit two years ago, and did one of the best podcasts.

I'd buy Krulac's book and write a review if there were an audio version. Hint, @David Krulac

Aaron Mazzrillo · Answer

Yeah, some people are honest. I choose to be brutally honest and I think people find value in that. Some can't stomach it, but sometimes the truth, or at least the way I see it, hurts. LOL

I am about third into this book, and would recommend it. Had there been an audio version, I woulda finished it.
