Best Books To Revamp Entrepreneurs
We are just less than two months away from a new year….AKA, Q4 for my fellow entrepreneurs out there. This is a love/hate time of year for business owners. We find ourselves either ending the year on a big business win, or not exactly where we envisioned ourselves. Although self criticism is a venting process for our emotions, it doesn’t do anything to correct where we may have gone wrong with our business at the end of the year. The only solution is to re-strategize, marinade with new ideas, directions, and concepts, and LEARN….always keep seeking new knowledge to better your business.
It has never been easier to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in your entrepreneurial journey - this digital age has given us endless amounts of online courses, masterclasses, virtual mentorship platforms, virtual likeminded communities, and so much more! But, there’s just something about books. They’re timeless, and always there for us - because we can always run back to them for reference, or to put us in check. And in the last few years, there has been a huge boom of business, marketing, entrepreneurial, and digital experts writing/publishing books. So, selecting a book that will help you transform your business, and your entrepreneurial journey, is far from difficult. Like a kid in a candy store, you won’t even know which one to start with, because the options are all so perfect!
So, which books do I recommend as an expert? I have some picks. And I’d like to preface that not all my choices are 100% business/entrepreneurial books. To me a successful business isn’t built on JUST business related fundamentals. It’s also built on a well-balanced mindset, and soul. So, if the business owner is on burn-out most of the time, brushing off personal problems as opposed to healing from them, etc….their businesses will reflect that, and prevent success from happening. Successful entrepreneurship is like building an empire - not built by just one person, not built on just a few strategies, not built without passion and soul.
Without further adieu, here are THE books YOU NEED for your empire entrepreneurship….

Burnout: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle
Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things—and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish?
Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against—and show us how to fight back. In these pages you’ll learn
• what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle—and return your body to a state of relaxation
• how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration
• how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it
• why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering and preventing burnout
Niching Up By Chris Dreyer
Chris Dreyer didn't begin his professional journey thinking he would establish one of the most successful SEO agencies in the country. In fact, he studied history in college and landed his first job as a detention room supervisor for a local high school (this wasn't part of the plan, either). When his Google query, "how to make money online," directed him to digital marketing courses, Chris found his calling. Soon his own sites ranked number one for "double chin," "stained concrete," and "acai fruit."
The rest, as they say, is history.
Now, Rankings.io hits the top of industry lists year after year as an SEO agency for personal injury lawyers. The company is one of the best for a simple reason: Chris has found his niche. In Niching Up, Chris reveals the path to enduring notoriety and long-term profitability by way of a streamlined, specialized market focus. He debunks the myths associated with selecting a specific target and shares his stories of making it big by reducing his prospects. Sometimes success is about having the right mindset. Through Chris's personal stories of lessons learned and how he's learned them, you'll realize that good opportunities come to those who simplify.
