Real estate is my life. It is my day job, if you will. But it consumes my nights and weekends, too.

I view real estate as the most intriguing opportunity that I've seen in my business lifetime.

During the day, if I don't have any other commitments, I'm usually at my desk writing, revising, or researching anywhere from four to six hours.

If I have to look a certain way for something, I know how long it's going to take me do it.

I started out, coming out of college, I had my Realtor's license, and I did real estate full time for a number of years.

All my books take a long time to research. I spend several months researching before I start writing, and in the middle of writing I often have to stop and look up stuff. At my local library, I am one of the best customers! The research takes several months.

Most of the time, people look at a piece of art online when it is just a few blocks from their house. Changing the way you walk home everyday fills life with surprises.

I originally started redoing houses to deal with stress. I found that the hour I could go to a job site every day took my mind off the 24/7 of thinking about my clients.

It takes me three months of research and nine months of work to produce a book. When I start writing, I do two pages a day; if I'm gonna do 320, that's 160 days.

It turns out a human being in two, three or four hours can build a search result that's much better than Google, Yahoo or Ask.
