Oh where, oh where have the all the B.O.O.K. reviews gone? Well, welcome back sweetheart. The Ren Men recently opened a used car lot, and quickly learned, it’s easier to buy and sell a house than to buy and sell a car. We put our systems in place, and we have since made the car lot 95% self-sufficient and passive. The result was more free time for us to read books. Ms. Annie Sorensen (thank you, by the way) sent The Ren Men two copies of Big Bob Kiyosaki’s latest book, The Business of the 21st Century.
It’s all about Network Marketing. Kiyosaki breaks down the entire business and gives a great blueprint of the industry for newbies. This book was incredibly helpful with tips and a fast easy read, less than 130 pages. The Ren Men haven’t participated in any network marketing as of today, this doesn’t mean we won’t–we just haven’t, yet.
The product description says it all..”The 8 Wealth-Building Assets of Network Marketing Robert Kiyosaki believes in the power of network marketing! In his new book, he explains why this is the best time to start your own business and secure your financial future! For the past several years, multimillionaire businessman, entrepreneur, and investor Robert Kiyosaki has been a staunch supporter of network marketing. Like many people, he was skeptical about the industry at first … until he learned firsthand what network marketing is all about: helping people. In his latest book, the author of the phenomenally successful Rich Dad Poor Dad series shows why network marketing is indeed the business of the 21st century. Robert shares the eight wealth-building assets offered by network marketing that allow you to take advantage of these tough economic times to build a strong financial future and happier life. John Fleming , the publisher of Direct Selling News, and Kim Kiyosaki, author of Rich Woman: A Book on Investing for Women, join Robert to share their thoughts on why network marketing is the perfect opportunity for both men and women.”
We recommend this step-by-step book to any newbie interested in network marketing. Thanks again, Annie…

Alan’s Top Picks
Grant’s Top Picks
#5 Outliers: The Story of Success Malcolm Gladwell tells why some people are successful and how many things needed to come together in order for them to be successful.
#3 How To Win Friends and Influence People The quintessential text on interpersonal relationships and how to treat other people. Layer these techniques on top of your lifestyle design and watch your happiness and the happiness of those around you explode!
#2 Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion
Gary Vaynerchuk has written the book that will smack you across the face if you are not positioning yourself to take advantage of the most incredible entrepreneurial time in the history of America. Get off the bench and go read this book!
SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance written by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, discusses microeconomics. The book discusses many topics, that at first thought would not be related, but after diving in and getting behind the scenes, you learn everything can be compared. The book explores the hidden side of just about anything you can think of, for instance: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? What’s more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? (just to name a few)
I’m not an economics major, thankfully the story telling, stats and information kept me easily entertained. Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything was the first book in this series. ‘Super’ is the second and I imagine more books will follow. It’s hard for a sequel to out do its predecessor. When I read Freakonomics I had no expectations, but with ‘Super’ I have an idea of what to expect. I did like ‘Freak’ better than ‘SuperFreakonomics’ but it’s still worth a read. The main reason is, the book turns everything on its head, and that is what I love, thinking about thinking, take nothing at face value. Can hurricanes really be prevented?

A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step. You can’t become a billionaire without thinking like one. George Ross shares insight into one of the world’s most successful real estate development companies.
This book is so good, we sent it to Eli Manning after we noticed it wasn’t in his home library.
The real “meat” of the Rich Dad series. A must read, but should be read after Rich Dad Poor Dad.
I had read this awhile ago, and forgot just how good it is. Trump and Kiyosaki together in a book, priceless.
