Summary: Hilarious and Inspiring
Comment: Barbara Corcoran's book is a hilarious account of her successful rise to the top of the New York real estate market. Throughout the book she reflects back on her childhood citing funny antidotes and the lessons her mother teaches her to help cope with her challenges. She then shares how she has successfully applied these same lessons while building a million dollar business from the ground up. I found this woman's success story particularly inspiring as I am launching my own sales based business. I found myself laughing out loud every time I picked it up. Also, Barbara offers excellent sales tips and techniques at the end of the book I plan to utilize. Overall, an excellent, inspiring book.

Summary: not just for business people...
Comment: Although the book's title states Business Lessons, I think many people outside the business community will find this book inspirational because the stories are real and not techno-babble. Homemakers, teachers, students and other non-business people will come away with the message that truly we must all "use what we got" since it is indeed our differences that make us unique and special in this world AND that is what will help us to succeed in life.
I enjoyed reading this book very much and did not want to put it down! The catchy titles from Mom, make the lessons easy to remember and actually use, because they are backed up by the real life experiences of growing up. I was delighted to read in the middle of the book that Barbara is also a slow reader. I like to savor the words, and truly enjoyed the whimsical stories in this book.
My favorite lessons are #19 When there are ten buyers and three puppies, every dog is the pick of the litter, #13 If you want to be a cheerleader, you better know the cheers, #1 If you don't have big breasts, put ribbons on your pigtails (and just be as sweet as you are),and #20 Jumping out the window will make you either an ass or a hero

Comment: I loved this book! Barbara's real estate lessons are entertaining and fun. Regardless of where you sell real estate the rules and the lessons are the same. I'll recommnend it to every new agent that comes to our firm.
