    I had the pleasure of interviewing Jay Papasan, the vice president of publishing and executive editor at Keller Williams Realty, Inc.

    Jay Papasan became a best-selling author in 2003 when the book he co-authored with Gary Keller and Dave Jenks The Millionaire Real Estate Agent landed on BusinessWeek’s bestseller list. In 2005, the group co-authored their second bestseller: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. Then, after working on Rick Villani and Clay Davis’s best-selling book FLIP: How to Buy, Fix and Sell Houses for Profit in 2007, he co-authored Your First Home with Gary Keller and Dave Jenks in 2009.

    Jay Papasan’s latest book The ONE Thing, also co-authored with Gary Keller, released on April 1, 2013, and saw instant success when it debuted at #6 on the Wall Street Journal‘s bestseller list and soon thereafter climbed to #1 on May 3, 2013. Since then, The ONE Thing has made more than 300 appearances on national bestseller lists and been translated into 24 languages.

    It’s a great talk, and I know you’ll learn a lot from it.

    Enjoy!

    Topics Covered In This Interview

    Jay’s presentation will tap into in-depth research involving over 120 millionaire real estate investors and draw a straight path based on what they all have in common: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. And we can organize using the principles of The ONE Thing—itself a five year research journey into the common approach found among top performers in investing, industry, athletics, and the arts.
