Success: Luck and sweat
The No. 1 business book in the country is "Outliers: The Story of Success," the new book by Malcolm Gladwell, author of "The Tipping Point." "Outliers" is basically a collection of weird little scholarly studies and anecdotes strung along like pearls on a necklace, arguing that it's smarter to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart.

IPhone spurs app revolution
New mobile-phone applications tailored for real estate are moving beyond for-sale property searches and into areas once reserved for personal computers, such as lead generation and management, market research and analysis, and customer relationship management.

As is often the case in the fast-moving world of technology, yesterday's dazzling breakthrough -- the ability to access listings on the go using a mobile phone -- is becoming the norm. Now consumers and real estate professionals are demanding more. ... CONTINUED

Beating the recession
Is your real estate business suffering from too many expenses and a lack of closed sales? If so, today's column gives you four ways to put your business back on track no matter what the market does.

1. Invest in training and education
The number one mistake that both agents and companies make in a slowing market is to cut back on their training and education budgets.
