If you want to make sure that your business grows, take time for personal growth, too<\/em><\/strong>. Because, friend, you can learn all the business strategies in the world, but if you\u2019re not also working on yourself, you won\u2019t be as successful as you could be<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also incredibly empowering to learn from other successful business owners, which is why I love reading books written to help inspire other entrepreneurs. This is how I keep growing & keep learning! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And I know what you\u2019re thinking\u2026\u201dSarah, I don\u2019t have time to brush my hair every day, let alone read a book.\u201d And, friend, I hear you! As a mom and a business owner, \u2018free time\u2019 is pretty much nonexistent, but that doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t make time for growth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll share a little secret with you…listening to books is just as effective as reading them! And that\u2019s how I make time to keep learning. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I turn on an audiobook when I\u2019m doing laundry or unloading the dishwasher. I listen when I\u2019m exercising or have a spare minute. I promise you can find a way to make learning a priority in your life, and it\u2019s so powerful when you do! I want to share some of my favorite books with you, to help you on your business journey. So, here are the books on my \u2018Must-Read List\u2019:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is so empowering! I loved it because it\u2019s super easy to read (or listen to!). It\u2019s broken up into short, but powerful, chapters that you can pick up whenever you have a spare minute. It\u2019s also funny & so entertaining. Sometimes it\u2019s easy to take yourself & your business too seriously when you\u2019re an entrepreneur and you have big goals you\u2019re trying to achieve. This book was a reminder to also enjoy the journey! <\/p>\n\n\n\n It also made me realize that so many of the things I considered roadblocks are actually the things that have made me successful and will continue to make me stand out in my business. You\u2019ll feel so motivated after you finish this read \u2014 it\u2019s the perfect book if you feel like you want a little help gaining confidence in yourself as a business owner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Friends, this book will leave you feeling like you can take on anything<\/em>! It\u2019s all about finding your voice as a leader & that is something that is so important when you own a business. It\u2019s about having tough conversations & fully committing yourself to your business so that you can grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s scary being a business owner, but this book does such a good job of teaching you skills you can practice to start showing up for yourself<\/em> in your business. Bren\u00e9 Brown talks to some of the most impressive leaders in business to come up with the lessons in this book, so you get to learn from truly inspiring people! <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re feeling completely overwhelmed in your business, you need to read this! It\u2019s quick, it\u2019s easy to read (or listen to!) and I can\u2019t tell you how much it has helped me put things into perspective. When you\u2019re focused on making more sales, reaching more people, & achieving all your goals, it\u2019s so easy to take on too much at one time. But, I promise you will not see the results you want if you have too many priorities. This book was such an incredible reminder that you\u2019ll be the most effective business owner when you figure out what matters most & focus your attention there instead of trying to do it all! <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you love case studies & learning from other successful companies, this is the book for you. Included are so many valuable lessons taken straight from observations of real, growing businesses. But one of the most inspiring things about this book is that all of the companies featured faced struggles & found success anyway. It\u2019s all about how any business can succeed, no matter how much struggle they have faced. Don\u2019t get discouraged if you haven\u2019t seen the growth you want just yet. With the help of this book, you can absolutely achieve your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve ever been intimidated to learn new skills or try a new strategy for your business, I want you to read this book! It\u2019s all about how to develop new skills & build incredibly helpful new habits. This book serves as such a good reminder that when you own a business, you need to take time to nurture other areas of your life in order to see success. You can\u2019t focus on growing only<\/em> in your business \u2014 you\u2019ll be so much more successful if you show up in every area of your life! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, it\u2019s good to have someone tell you that it\u2019s ok to dream big & to have amazing goals. Because you can achieve them \u2014 but only if you dream them in the first place! I love how incredibly inspiring Bob Groff is in this book because he helped me figure out what I want for my business so that I can show up as an entrepreneur…and absolutely make that happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/soulfoxliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/1s-1024x427.png\")
