You are responsible for 100 percent of your success, and in order to thrive, you need to be strong at four essential areas: finding deals, doing deals, managing money, and keeping your head straight-Marketing, Operations, Finance and Attitude.

Carter offers insight and advice that lenders, real estate agents, and anyone interested in the real estate business will likely find useful-whether you're just getting started or simply need inspiration. In fact, the principles outlined in this book make it an excellent resource for any type of small business owner.
