Liz Weston wrote Your Credit Score
Liz’s depth of knowledge around the inner workings of your credit history is amazing. Not only does she provide step-by-step instructions on how to improve and protect your credit score, but she also debunks 10 Credit Score Myths (this is my favorite part because I have people recite these to me daily with the wrong answers).
- true/false | You have to pay interest to have a good credit score
- true/false | You can hurt your credit score by checking your credit
- true/false | Credit Counseling is worse that bankruptcy
- true/false | Your closed accounts should read “Closed by Consumer” or they will hurt your score
- true/false | You can hurt your score by shopping around for the best rates
If you think you know the answers to ALL of these and the other 5 important myths she debunks then you don’t need this book. If you are like 99.9% of people out there you will get 8 out of 10 of these wrong.
The 3 digit number that affects your mortgage rates, borrowing ability, insurance rates, whether you get a job, or get an apartment is TOO important to not study up on.
You definitely need this book in your library, because reading it once can save you thousands of dollars!

Never Eat Alone Review
Keith Ferrazzi, the author of Never Eat Alone
Not only does Keith Ferrazzi provide an easy blueprint for building foundational relationships with people, he also provides tactile ways to make meaningful, lasting connections with the right people. The people you need to do business with or just people you’d like to get to know. No. Not in a smarmy, networking jerk kind of way. In a real meaningful and lasting way.
In Never Eat Alone
Personally, I liked the step by step instructions on how to warm a cold call. I have used Keith’s cold call road-map and it amazed me at how much easier making cold introductions calls got for me. Several of the key relationships I now have, both business and personal, come from using this “technique”. Another favorite was “how to be a conference commando”.
