Ebby Halliday: The First Lady of Real Estate

Smiling Works, Thriving on Change, Investing in a Dream, and Making Every Day Count - these principles helped Ebby Halliday guide her firm to exponential growth, year after year for over six decades. This book is about starting small and dreaming big, about leadership and partnership, and about always treasuring the moments while looking to the future. ''You want to know the secret of success?'' Ebby has asked audiences across the country. ''Make people feel that you are interested in them. Make them feel special. Make it real.'' Today she adds, ''Don't smoke, don't drink, and never retire!''
