Choosing to not sell my books at Amazon has a lot of upside... but it also makes it harder for folks to find & buy them. Like, it's two mouse clicks instead of one... and requires going to a different site... and shipping time is a bit longer. But I aim to write stuff that's worth the extra effort (and if you're looking for easy answers to hard questions, you'll have to read something else) You can also save 15% with the code SPRINGBOOKS15. https://lnkd.in/eRSexhHx

This book really captured my heart, https://a.co/d/br9qB0t

I just finished an insightful reading journey this past quarter with four standout books. Each one offered unique perspectives and powerful lessons: 1. “The Effective Executive” by Peter Drucker: Effective executives make sure problems do not overwhelm opportunities. 2. “Habits of the Household” by Justin Whitmel Earley: If we don’t have radical communal habits to form us, we will end up conforming to the communal patterns of the world around us. 3. “Good to Great” by Jim Collins: Retain absolute faith that you can, and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be. 4. “The Alamanack of Naval Ravikant” by Eric Jorgenson: Run uphill. If you’re evenly split on a difficult decision, take the path more painful in the short term. Lean into things with short-term pain, but long-term gain. Each of these books has provided valuable insights that I’m excited to apply in both my personal and professional life. What books have shaped your thinking recently?

To celebrate my book hitting #2 on the Amazon best-seller list, I have lowered the ebook price to $2.99 to help me get to #1! #BeTheWeightBehindTheSpear #leadership #books #bookbloggers #booklover #bookreview Be The Weight Behind The Spear https://a.co/d/2bcZBz4

?? What Have Books Taught Me? ?? Books have been my greatest mentors, nurturing growth well beyond the final page. The most impactful ones shifted my perspective - titles like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant." While imparting practical financial and life guidance, they sparked an inner awakening. These outstanding books taught me how to develop an abundance mindset, make wise investments, and pursue self-actualization with unwavering determination. Perhaps the most valuable thing they gave was the desire to always learn new things. The ability of influential books to alter one's perspective is what I find most admirable about them. You will sense your consciousness broadening to include new horizons of possibility as the insights crystallize. I will always be grateful to the writers who helped me realize the full potential of my mind. Books have taught lessons that go beyond the tangible world and have stoked a never-ending desire for advancement. For that, I'll always be a ravenous reader. . . . #books #learnings #knowledge #reading

Excellent read or Audiobook (1 hour 53 minutes) for those that want inspiration that lasts less than an airplane flight. For those without that much time... His 10 key points (and my translation) 1. Start your day by completing a task (Make your bed) 2. You can't go it alone (teamwork) 3. Only the Size of your Heart Matters (you can do anything) 4. Get over being a Sugar Cookie (don't be afraid of failure) 5. Don't be Afraid of the Circus (challenges will make you stronger) 6. Slide down the Obstacle Head First (take risk) 7. Don't back down from the Sharks (don't worry about the competition) 8. Be your very best in your darkest moments (self-explanatory) 9. Start singing when you're up to your neck in mud (Embrace the Suck) 10. Don't ever, ever ring the bell (never quit)
