So, now I'm reading and listening to books, gathering my thoughts, and getting ready to start the climb.

Those are just tools for people to call themselves a best seller and extract small payments from people. ebooks are best used as free materials because everyone knows they are not really books.

Not sure there are many sponsors that would come out of pocket like that. made no return for 3 years but got our principal back which is a win in my book..

My sister in law is publishing books for children telling illustrated stories based in Hawaii.

This is a two-way interview, so have a short list of questions to ask the mentor (What books do you recommend I read to gain a better understanding?

Another great book for newer agents is Millionaire Real Estate agent by Gary Keller.

If you know of any good resources—books, threads, podcasts—on the subject, I’d also appreciate the recommendations!

I don’t want to just start booking flights to different cities hoping I figure it out when I get there.

And now we also have better marketing in place on socials and a have a direct booking site, plus we are open all year long so word of mouth is improving.  

With the wealth of information available on BiggerPockets and numerous other sites and books, I'm not sure where to start.
