I read this book maybe 12 years ago and I remember thinking it was pretty good although I wondered how the author remembered so many conversations when he was 9 years old, so many years later.
Last week the thought popped in my head to re-read this book now that I’m doing this particular business and find out if it has a different meaning in this context. So far it definitely does. I’m looking through a different lens. If I remember when I first read the book, I was renting a couple houses and had even considered growing a large real estate empire. Actually I was pretty good at the business and had some success with it. There were a few things that inherently go with that type of business that I just didn’t care for and that was the real tipping point that pushed me away. I don’t really miss it or regret that decision.
I’m glad to be in this business and have enjoyed the lessons I’ve learned. I never hesitate to revisit past lessons from a new perspective to see what information can be gleaned with the new perspective.
We’ll see what this experience and revisiting this book can hold for me. See you soon Constant Reader.
