One of my goals this year was to read two books a month. By mid-February, I’d already read over 20 new books (many of them related to mindset for the online business owner).
Now to be fair, not every book was a WIN — but one thing I work to do every time I read a new book is to find at least ONE thing I can implement.
From the books I’ve read, I’ve included my top picks for each category below.
What would reading a book each week do for your mindset in your online business?
Imagine how much your mindset would change if you implemented one new thing every single week?
Well I’ve got some incredible news for you!
On the Business with Impact Podcast™ each week, we’re adding a new segment: The best books for online business owners.
Each week, I’ll be reviewing one of my favorite books, sharing what I read and what I learned, AND as an added BONUS I’ll be giving away 10 copies of the book of the week to our listeners.
Below are links to some of my absolute favorite books in the Mindset category:
