This IS a great tip. I listen to those when I work out, too. I wish there was a motivation/success station on XM radio. There is also a website (Jim Rohn has a link to it on his site) that broadcasts different programs and speakers. I think the cost is about $30/ month. I have bought books on tape packages that were a decent deal from the Jim Rohn website too.
Right now Amazon.com and Audible.com have an offer for a $100 credit towards the purchase of an MP-3 player from Amazon with a year subscription to Aubible. There are lots of great players for under $100, so it’s essentially free. Aubdible has plenty of success/motivational books available, and the prices are much less than the hardcover editions. I figured I could get the books I want for around $11 each. This offer expires soon.
I got a lot out of Vic Johnson “As a Man Thinketh”, Denis Waitley “Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise” and Zig Ziglar’s stuff. I second the recommendation of Brian Tracy’s Success Mastery Academy. I think that’s a good place to start if you haven’t been exposed to this type of material.

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick tip that has made a TREMENDOUS difference in my life as a RE investor…
Instead of listening to the radio or a cd while renovating your next mobile home go to the library and borrow some self-help/motivation/ success tapes!
I have just finished ;
Brian Tracy - Success Mastery
Jim Rohn - excelling in the new millenium
Anthony robbins - Get the Edge
Im sure you all have other great courses in mind- could you please post them here? I have a whole bathroom and kitchen to reno next week and no tapes to listen too!

Used to do the same thing with my real estate courses on tape. Carleton Sheets, Raymond Aaron, and others. You can’t learn everything on a tape set in one hearing, this way you can listen to them several times without wasting time (16 hours for 1 tape course!) Plus it’s motivational to hear a pep talk on real estate while working on your real estate! Learn to make money while you are making money, its great LOL.

That’s a great idea, Fergus. I have a LOT of drive time and am constantly listening the audios you describe. For more ideas do an archive search. There have been many recommendations made before.
