Books! Books! More Books!
Hey guys!! Just looking to see what are some of your favorite books, posts, or blogs that have had a major impact o your life! I've listened to almost 250 of the BP Podcast and have tried to get my hands on every book mentioned on the Famous Four. Below are some of the books I've really enjoyed and would recommend to everyone that I haven't heard on the podcast (yet):
Flip The Script by Oren Klaff
Objections by Jeb Blount
The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey
What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter.
Looking forward to any books or suggestions you guys have! Happy investing!

Hey Kyle,
Thanks for sharing these titles, adding these to the wish list!
Here are a couple of books that I don't recall hearing on the famous 4 - disclaimer, I have NOT listened to as many BP podcasts as you have so I apologize if I'm repeating some titles haha!
12 Rules for life by Jordan Peterson
Fanatical prospecting by Jeb Blount
Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill
Knowledge and Decisions by Thomas Sowell
I look forward to the suggestions from the BP community...
Best of luck to you moving forward!

Kyle,
It's awesome to see you're actually researching and reading the books they talk about on BP!
Some books have really helped me out are:
Relentless by Tim Grover
Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss
Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO (a snoozer but has a ton of important info for RE)
In the near future, looking to order -> Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins
It seems like the biggest decider of success in real estate pertains to mindset (based on what guests of BP Podcasts say). Thus, the importance of reading books that help us grow mentally. Hope this helps!
Best wishes

Well, if I remember right I recommended:
Your money or your life - Vicky Robins/Joe Dominguez
Real estate investing for dummies - don't remember the author
Millionaire Next Door - Thomas Stanley
A couple more that I found worthwhile:
How to Win Friends & Influence People - Dale Carnegie
Think & Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
- JD Martin
- Podcast Guest on Show #243


Awesome suggestions! Looking forward to buy some of these. Thanks a lot

@Abel Curiel Awesome list! I've read a handful of books from Napoleon Hill and never heard of Outwitting the Devil! Really looking forward to checking all of these out!
@ Joshua M Cummings HUGE fan of Tim Ferris!! Thanks for all of your recommendations! You Can't Hurt Me is also on my to read list, I've heard nothing but great things about it.
@JD Martin really appreciate the list! I need to pick up Your Money or Your Life!
Would any of you guys mind if I reconnected with you after reading some of your book suggestions just to see your point of view on it and how they've influenced your life and investing careers?
Also! If you have an Amazon account you can get Audible has a free 30 day trail! I'm big into audiobooks so I'd definitely recommend it.
