I’m a big proponent of personal development, ie, “self-help books.” None of us came to this planet with all of the information we need to build careers and relationships we love!
I have all of my clients do 30 minutes of listening a day, Monday through Friday.
Personal Development Books on Making Money
Personal development is CRITICAL for folks trying to do new things and MAKE STUFF HAPPEN.
Important to note is that you will NEVER agree 100% with a personal development book. That’s okay! Take what works and leave the rest.
Venturing into the “self-help” aisle of your local bookstore can be intimidating, so I’ve shared my Top 5 books for folks new to personal development.
Fun Fact: I Prefer Audio Over Reading!
I like to listen to my personal development books using Audible, and run errands/clean/cook while I listen. I find that if I just buy a book, then it sits on my shelf. Doing nothing for me!
#1 Personal Development Rec: Who Moved My Cheese?
This book is all about adapting to changing circumstances, and it’s SHORT! It uses a simple parable to reveal profound truths about dealing with change so that you can enjoy less stress and more success in your work and in your life.

#2 Personal Development Rec: You Are a Badass at Making Money
This book is my go-to suggestion for folks trying to increase their net worth. LIFE CHANGING people!! It’s super funny as well, and one of my favorite parts is when Jen Sincero, the author, tells a story about goats on a rampage.
From Amazon: “Drawing on her own transformation—over just a few years—from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results.”

#3 Personal Development Rec: War of Art
Do you struggle with creating work and posting it? Feel immobilized by your work “not being good enough”??
From Amazon: “Why is there a naysayer within? How can we avoid the roadblocks of any creative endeavor—be it starting up a dream business venture, writing a novel, or painting a masterpiece?
Bestselling novelist Steven Pressfield identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.”

#4 Personal Development Rec: The 12 Week Year
Do you feel like you’re living Groundhog Day?

This book changed my life and has been a big factor in making 2019 and 2020 my most productive and highest earning years of my life.

#5 Personal Development Rec: The Big Leap
Fun fact: We all self-sabotage. Imho, we all have a limit on the amount of success or love we’ll allow ourselves before we sabotage things. This book helped me uncover limiting beliefs I have about success and what I’m capable of – and figure out the specific ways I trip myself up.
