If you don’t have big breasts, tie ribbons on your pigtails : And Other lessons I Learned From My Mom
May 19, 2008
This smart, creative book written by Barbara Corcoran, New York City Real Estate legend and entrepreneur extraordinaire, is a great read. It is based on Barbara’s mother’s great advice and she shares in almost startling detail how she this advice helped her climb to superstar status.
What I love about this book is that it is full of can-do spirit and entrepreneurial adventure. From a run-in with The Donald to super hiring strategies anyone can implement.
This real-life business memoir is chock-full of great tips and features Barbara’s rise from apartment office to one of the most successful real estate companies in Manhattan. I never heard of Barbara before discovering this book at a used book store recently, but she has my complete admiration for her spunkiness and perseverance. This is a great read for inspiration as it details the ups and downs on her rise to the top.
And, if you like this book… Barbara just released a new book (April 2008) called Nextville: Amazing Places to Live the Rest of Your Life. For those of you who serve Baby Boomers, this may just be a great resource. In her new book, she turns her keen eye toward predicting “the next big thing” in real estate-where and how the over 77 million baby boomers will live when they retire. Barbara identifies the top eight trends that are changing where (and how) boomers are retiring.
While the book is geared toward helping Boomers figure out what’s most important in their next place-whether it’s pursuing passions, living green, finding community, living young in a city or college town, or even staying right in your old home town, this book can give you ideas about how to think about ‘the second half’ of life.
