"Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill and other books and mysteries

If you ever were a salesman or business owner you have many inspirational books on your bookshelf. One needs them to stay motivated. Enthusiastic.

One of the most famous of these inspirational books is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Other favorites are "See You at the Top" by Zig Ziegler or "Shut up and Sell" by Don Sheehan. Then there are the audio tapes for driving in the car.....the real estate closing tapes...ABC, always be closing etc. Anyway, you get the idea....

If you are married and a salesman, you are probably also reading a book, or even two books by John Gray.....like..."Men are from Mars,,Women from Venus"....The reason that you are reading the books by John Gray is either because you don't have a clue about women as sales prospects, or you don't have a clue about what is happening to your marriage----or both.

Reading inspirational books is fun. However, one warning. It is important to review "walking the walk" as well as "talking the talk." What I mean, of course, is that one does need to know that Napolean Hill died penniless....It is also important to know that John Gray is on his 4th marriage.

O.K. Now when you are reading the books, you can have a better sense of perspective. I don't want to ruin any enthusiasm here, but, it is important to know. Behold, you may be in far better shape that the authors were. In fact, you may not even need the books.

Just a thought for the day.
