A number of my social media followers have asked me to recommend books and articles that I have read so that they could level up their thinking and improve their mindset for this new decade.
Between my MBA, mentors, my own reading and my work experience, I have pulled together a list of 20 things that I know will improve your business mindset, help you overcome many of your fears and get you to not only think bigger but execute unlike ever before. I didn’t want to include the usual books like ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ or ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ even though they are excellent and I do recommend them. I am focused on some other books and content.
