Money in the Streets: A Playbook for Finding and Seizing the Opportunity All Around You.
A never-ending testament of how overpowering negative forces leads to living our greatest potential.
Money in the Streets is more than one man’s journey in hard-knocks New York. It’s more than the recounting of risking it all to win. Told with heart and laced with the sentiment of tremendous gratitude, Barry Habib deftly weaves tales of his upbringing to take the reader back in time. From his childhood, where he’d pick up the discarded toys of other children because he had so few of his own to play with on into the sales world, where Habib got creative as a sort-of street vendor, Money in the Streets blends humor and hardship through the incredulous moments of Habib’s life. He wrote this book to answer a compulsion to share what worked for him as he scaled the ladder—creating multiple successful companies, growing into an international speaker, and frequenting major media networks as well as producing various entertainment productions—most notably as the driving force and lead producer of one of the longest-running shows on Broadway (later made into a film): Rock of Ages .
Habib offers his life as proof that you can keep going no matter what. He shares some of his most painful memories while also exulting in personal and business triumphs to encourage everyone to aim for the same.
Of particular note are the mindset tactics in Money in the Streets that are road-tested and personal practices of Habib, who treats each day as a reason to be thankful. No matter the struggle, whether self-doubt, negativity, loss, stress, or being “stuck” in life, Money in the Streets is a resolution roadmap. An easy read that will play on the reader’s every emotion, this standout work and Habib’s voice are unforgettable. He writes as if you are the only person in the room…because to Habib, you are.

I have followed Barry for many years and consider him the leading expert for home mortgage rates and the direction of the U.S.Real Estate Market. I have been originating home mortgages over 15 years and he has provided good clear non agenda driven truth to help me provide good direction for my clients mortgage needs. I really like his book because he shares his story from a very humble platform, sharing his life adversity and how he over came his obstacles with hard work, learning from failures and keeping a positive additude . Highly Recommended reading this book!

Great book
Great book
Big fan of Barry
He is a very nice guy and I love that he is in leadership positions especially in my field
He has many companies but as the head of MBS highway he advises mortgage professionals daily on how to help their buyers create wealth, rather than using their homes to buy toys
This book gave a deeper perspective in how he went from being a poor kid to hustling and getting to the top of the mortgage field, speaking field, and Broadway
I recommend this book for anyone with big dreams

it’s more of a memoir
Truly appreciate Barry and follow his valuable industry guidance. However, while interesting to read at times… it was Not really a playbook as the title states… more of a memoir.

Barry Habib FTW
A mortgage professional myself, I loved to see Barry’s perspective on things. He reminds me that anything is possible with the right attitude.

I was thinking it would be more about the mortgage industry, but was more of a self help book. I like habib a lot and found this book very relatable.
Easy read too
