I thought this book was delightfully obvious and exemplified the simplicity of success. I am a Real Estate Agent in Palm Springs and was sent this book from my sister who now works for Corcoran in NYC. I knew nothing about Corcoran, or the woman behind it. My sister told me Corcoran is THE Real Estate agency in the City to work for. So needless to say the book had to be read. I am constantly looking for inspiration to propel my career and found that the obvious lessons she translates into multi million dollar returns are sensational. Even if you don't believe all these stories to be true, they all offer something you can exercise in your own life and business. Barbara is the Queen of thinking outside the box....stay on top of your game and read this book.

I am surprised by the reviewer who seemed to believe the stories are implausible. Many the things Mrs. Corcoran said to her daughter are things my own father has said to me many a time. I think that Ms. Corcoran has demonstrated how differently each of us interprets those words. I loved this book because the things she says are simple and logical, and yet so much so, that the ease of it seems to elude most people. I applaud her efforts to share her experiences and help others. I also have recommended this book to several of my friends.
