January is a great time to get some useful business reading done. Here’s my pick of some of the books that have already inspired me and the ones I hope with give me even more insight.
One of my favourites, I read for the first time in 2017 and I’ve returned to again and again, is “She means business” by Carrie Green. It’s a great mix of looking at the real nuts and bolts of starting your own business along with some serious work on your attitude and mindset. I know some people can think things like “give yourself permission to dream big” sounds a bit woo hoo. But I’ll tell you what, its brought my business on in leaps and bounds!
Another favourite in this little bundle is “The secret lives of colour” which i dip into like a box a chocolates. Who can revisits discovering the history of colour, pigments and the people who used them. Gorgeous.
One that I’ve only just started is “The Empowered entrepreneur” by Elizabeth Cairns. This is a beautiful book that really appeals to me. In the business of being in business its a good idea not to lose sight of why you left the rat race in the first place, and make sure you look after yourself as well as your business. I think it’s about living, not just making a living.
If you have some must reads, do feel free to leave them in the comments. It’s good to share.
