Back in high school in the 70s, we were asked to research business people and write reports on 2 that impressed us. I chose Donald Trump  and Mary Kay Ash    I still have my origial books by both of them (they came about a decade later)  I find today's gurus use many of their ideas passed off as their own!

OK, now that Roger D. Mucci has hijacked this one with an awesome comment  that had me rolling, I'll try to be serious:

The E-myth Revisited by Michael Gerber is the book that changed my entire business life. It not only taught me systems; it introduced me to the concept of coaching; he was my first business coach, long before Brian Buffini came into my life.

If you're inquiring about a book just about business in general, rather than about real estate, then they are:

The Art of War by Sun Tzu and the Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto.

Yes, I do take them out occasionally.  Been reading them since 1980.

One, I never have enough time to sit and read a book, and I've never had a need to be inspired by someone else. I remember duringmy high school days I had a family problem and they told me to see the school counselor. I explained my feelings and issues, and all she said for the whole hour was "How does that make you feel" and "How can you change it". At the time I thought it was a waste of my hour, but soon realized, that I WAS WITH ONE WITH ALL  THE ANSWERS. Ever since than, I solved my own problems by asking myself those two questions and answer with my personal feeling aside. You can only be inspired by someone, if you have a little bit of inspiration inside you. And if you have a little bit, then work to incease the amount of your inspiration.
