Sam Zell is considered one of the best real estate entrepreneurs in the World. His early years in real-estate investment could be traced back to, while an undergraduate, purchasing apartments in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He went on to create the Equity Group Investments, which spawned three public real estate companies, including: Equity Residential, the largest apartment owner in the United States, Equity Office Properties the largest office owner in the country, and Manufactured Home Communities, a mobile home company. I recently received a link to a humerous, insightful and very awakening message by Sam. To hear Sam's message, click here, turn on your computer volume and have a listen.

We are big believers in continuous learning. Books written by bright people are amongst the best ways to condense the learning process. The problem…who has time to read. Between our careers, family schedules, time off (otherwise known as the “Sharpening of Saw” – Steven Covey – 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), etc., there seems to be no time left. I just found the solution – www.audible.com. This website currently hosts 27,000 electronically narrated titles of books, magazines, periodicals, etc. You pay for an electronic download and drop it onto your Ipod or burn it onto a CD. Reading without the reading. Very Cool.
