Any good real estate agent is always just a little too busy, but they realized that would happen if they became as successful as they wanted to be.

Here are some of our choices for great business books reads.
The Big Short
The book, written by Michael Lewis, is all about the housing bubble and its build up in the early 2000s. It goes into detail about the lives and types of people that actually bet against the market and wound up profiting from the financial crisis in 2007 to the present. It also talks about the people and companies that lost the most during the same time. It's an interesting read on the major personalities in the housing crisis and you might find it interesting to learn a little more about the crisis that plays a big part in your day to day work life.
