Anyone who has followed the professional journey of Kaira Rouda will be happy to learn that Amazon is taking pre-release orders for her new book, Real You, Incorporated, 8 Essentials for Women Entrepreneurs. I have not read the book but I intend to order a copy so that it is delivered on the February 15th release date. Kaira introduced the Real Living real estate brand in 2001. She is a popular speaker at national conferences.

She is bold and refreshing and offers a stunning and optimistic vision of the real estate industry that is utterly exhilarating and infectious. I'm betting her book will be a smashing success. There's a great web site that has more information about the book and the author.
