66. It’s More Than Reading - My 6 of 2023


Listen Later

Today's topic hits really close to home for me – the transformative power of books. I've always believed in the power of real-life stories and have shared wisdom to guide us through life's labyrinth, and today I am offering you a different perspective. 

Picture it: It's January 2020, I had just navigated the storm of closing down a restaurant, a venture that cost me a staggering $1,000,000. I was lost, teetering on the edge of despair, feeling like I was drowning in failure, but then, an encounter with a Kindle (an encounter which seemed insignificant at the time) changed my trajectory! The Kindle led me to a book called Millionaire Morning by Hal Elrod, a book that quite literally transformed my life!

I hope that you will join me today as I share with you six books that have shaped my professional journey in 2023 alone. These aren't just books – they're my sounding board, sphere of influence, and shared wisdom, which I pair with actionable steps that have helped me redefine my mindset and amplify my personal and professional growth. 

Hold on tight, though, because this isn’t your normal book recommendations and done show. I also have two nuggets of wisdom I've been saving just for you, gems that have been instrumental in my reading journey. Join me in this episode as we discuss my 2023 top reading list for business owners, entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders.
