Here’s what I think: business owners need to have a fondness for reading. Those that do, become leaders in their industry and gain success the fastest.
(Maybe you do not like the act of reading, but today there are many modern alternatives to consume educational reading material available, and for now, we will refer to all of them as reading.)
Like our businesses, we are a work in progress, and that’s a good thing! We can’t simply settle for anything basic. We have goals to accomplish, and it’s essential to learn how to achieve them in the most effective way.
Reading a good book is the start of it. We must adopt a mindset that’s anchored on achieving our specific goals. And the best way to do that is to learn from other people, incorporate their wisdom in our daily lives, and develop a unique style of doing business.
It’s fortunate enough that there is an extensive collection of books available that provide information about specific topics. Let’s start with a few of my favorite ones about enriching our money mindset:
Tapping into Wealth by Margaret M. Lynch
A former corporate engineering manager, Margaret M Lynch’s book shows you how to use the Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping as a mechanism to help you clear your money blocks and reprogram your mind’s deeply held assumptions and beliefs about money and wealth.
EFT is recognized as an effective technique, using acupressure and the power of suggestion to help you focus on your goals and address negative thinking. The book is full of exercises to help you discover, release, and replace your limiting beliefs about money so that you can live a more prosperous life.
Get Rich, Lucky Bitch by Denise Duffield-Thomas
Denise Duffield-Thomas is a hugely popular coach, presenter, and writer. She has a straight-talking, no-nonsense approach that will help you break down your mental barriers to wealth and success. Duffield-Thomas specializes in assisting female entrepreneurs in discovering and breaking down their money blocks through the practical application of manifesting using the Law of Attraction.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Think and Grow Rich is a classic and a must-read for anyone looking to change their mindset around money. In the book, Hill outlines his revolutionary 13-Steps to Riches as part of his Law of Success philosophy. Hill illustrates his principles by relating the stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
This book by Robert Kiyosaki has become a classic in its own right. He has produced a series of books that have educated generations about the possibilities of financial freedom. The book explores the myth of high-income equating wealth and teaches you how to change your perspective on the world of money. It explains the essential differences between good debt and bad debt and supports you in shifting your money mindset so that you can finally get on the road to financial freedom.
The Millionaire Next Door by William D. Danko and Thomas J. Stanley
Danko and Stanley bring the real secrets of wealth to the masses based on years of research, and it’s not as you’ve imagined. The authors have designed a 7-step program that is vital to becoming a millionaire. But first, they break down the pervasive myths about how wealthy people behave and where they spend their time and money. The examples in the book don’t include superstars, but rather the average Joes who live below their means and make their money work for them. This book is a game-changer for your wealth mindset.
Reading is half the battle. When it comes to achieving your business goals, it matters a lot to get help from the right experts.
