Today's post is near and dear to my heart. I love to read, and today I get to share some of the most life-changing books I have ever come across. I will be dividing these books into three sections: 1) Self-Development; 2) Business Development; and 3) Goal/Habit Creation.
Girl Boss Books For Self-Development
I truly believe that in order to build a strong business, one must first battle their own demons a.k.a. "self-limiting beliefs." Some common Self-Limiting beliefs might be: "I am not worhty," "I don't have enough to offer," or "Why should someone listen to what I have to say?"
Self-limiting beliefs may manifest themselves through failing to set goals, failing to follow-through with action, or even subconscious self-sabotage! I know I have been guilty of the latter. The following books will help you ascertain what these might be and teach you how to overcome them if any.
This is my favorite self-help book of all time. It helps you see who you truly are. Once you see are able to take a step back and truly see yourself, it is much easier to identify what has been causing any roadblocks in your life. A definite must read!
Once you have found your thorns, it is time to heal. This book had me laughing and crying within the hour. I absolutely love Louise Hay. Though she doesn't even know who I am, I consider her a second mother. Her love and concern to help you overcome whatever obstacles you might face are visible in her work. You would seriously be missing out if you didn't pick up a copy.
Girl Boss Books For Business Development
If you love clear and structured direction, you will love this book. She takes you from figuring out what your passions are all the way through implementing action items to achieve the business of your dreams. Carrie Green also offers checklists at the end of every chapter as well as free pritnables through her website. Truly an awesome read for any girl boss.
4. You Are A Badass, by Jen Sincero
Such a fun read! This is the most fun I've ever had while reading a book on business development. If you are afraid of taking that leap of faith, do yourself a favor and pick up this book. Total game changer.
I am so excited to read her newest book "You Are A Badass At Making Money." ←👀 I will keep you posted on what I think.
Girl Boss Books For Creating Habits And Achieving Goals
5. The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod
This book has truly changed my life. Hal Elrod combines key components in creating the perfect morning routine, the Miracle Morning. He offers free printables, one of which is a 30-day challenge. I honestly do not know one single person who has taken the challenge and not benefited from it. Absolutely amazing. I recommend this to anyone and everyone, all day, every day.
6. The Science of Self-Discipline, by Kerry L. Johnson
This is a no nonsense book on eliminating old habits and creating new ones. The book provides free printable downloads to help you set monthly, daily and weekly goals as well as methods and techniques that will actually help you create habits. Absolutely love this book.
All of the books I have mentioned are amazing as re-reads. I have re-read each one, with the exception of Carrie Green's book and that is only because it is the newest in my collection. This means a lot coming from me. I am known for starting a book and simply never finishing it. I don't believe in suffering through books. What are you currently reading? Do you have any recommendations for me?
