Bookworms, take note!
I’ve assembled a list of books that will assist you in building your business and escalate your move up the career ladder.
Self-help books aren’t necessarily cheesy, some are truly life changing. Here are a few books that are in my bookshelves and that have helped me along the way.
There are many more so I’m sure there will be a part two to this blog in the future.
My goal is to read a book a month, so here are a few of my suggested reads to help you finish the year strong.
📚 The 4-hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
I love the focus he puts on achieving your goals. I utilised this strategy during the pandemic to create and formulate Aurum D. It also helped with setting up Signature D and has been utilised throughout my career chapters since. Not that I only work 4 hours a week but the intensity of focus to achieve your goals. It really propels you to shatter your urn glass ceiling!
📚 7 Habits of Highly Successful People by Stephen Covey
These are great shares that successful corporate and c-suite professionals use to get ahead. Incorporate this as an entrepreneur and you’re sure to elevate your empire!
📚 The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone
Thus us like a bulldog and cheerleader combined. The vision of 10x anything you do to procedure results is a great example of success strategy. I bought his book after watching his undercover millionaire program. He was given $100 and dropped off somewhere he couldn’t use his reputation, money or power to help him achieve a million dollar business… he completed the challenge in a month and it was a great example of resilience, grit & determination. His wife Elena Cardone is also a powerhouse of a woman and great role model for their two daughters.
📚 Wealth Habits by Candy Valentino
I love that Candy is self made and came from what some might call an under privileged background. From her life lessons she learned so much from hanging out in her Dad’d auto shop. A real woman empowering woman positive read.
📚 The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steven Peters
My brother bought me this book when I was setting up the six treatment room clinic. It has been a while’s since I managed a team and in scaling the business this helped me understand different ways that people behave. It’s also great if you’re a parent & to manage your own emotions especially if your going through a stressful chapter.
📚 The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
This book was purchased by my husband last year. He found Dave Ramsey’s chat show via Facebook - you know the algorithms sometimes link you to random things. Anyways the message he shared is all about total financial freedom and independence. No debt even in business or with a mortgage, to become the bank and investor in your own life. Great takeaways and step by step process on how to do it. My stack of suggested reading is high, so I’ve only just read this and it’s a game changer to money mindset!
I also love books written by our industry professionals, some sharing their story and others sharing a process that’s lead them to success.
📚 I’m Not Really a Waitress by Suzi Weiss-Fischmann
She’s the founder and creator of OPI from humble upbringing as a refugee to a global icon.
📚 Skin in the Game by Jane Wurwand
The story of how founder Jane Wurwand developed Dermalogica skincare and created ward winning training for skin therapist around the world. I’ve had to privilege to meet Jane on several occasions, be a Dermalogica brand ambassador and be part of her tribe for 20 years.
📚 How to be an Overnight Success by Maria Hatzistefanis
She’s actually written a trio to include How to Make it Happen and How to Live Your Best Life. These were a Christmas gift from my husband and I consumed them all almost in a week! Great gift!!
She shares her story of bootstrapping her business from her back room after leaving her corporate life. She now is a Dragon investor on the Greek Dragons Den to give back to her country and to lift others up in our community. A real powerhouse and inspiration. She was recently on the British Beauty Council lunch hour special & it was great to see her live as she shares her continued chapter.
All of these books are available in the normal bricks and mortar establishments as well as many online versions. Happy reading! Wishing you continued success and prosperity. 😘
