You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero
This product was recommended by Rebekah Rini from Esquire Divorce Coach
The most impactful success book I’ve ever read is You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero. Sincero explains how to overcome your self-imposed limitations with money in a refreshingly witty voice. I’ve had so many a-ha moments reading this book I think largely due to the ease and humor with which Sincero delivers her message. She’s very open about her own struggles and what she did to overcome them.

The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
This product was recommended by Nick Castello from New Heights House Buyers
The Compound Effect illustrates how small decisions stack up over time to produce big changes. Making big overnight life changes often feels overwhelming or unsustainable (like cutting out all carbs to lose weight), whereas committing to small, easily attainable positive changes (like having one low-carb meal each day) will produce massive and lasting positive change. Equally important, the Compound Effect also explains how small negative behaviors (like starting to drinking a glass of wine every night) can add up to big negative consequences over time. These principles have helped me deepen my personal relationships, improve my health, and learn new job skills.

In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey outlines seven key principles for achieving success in work and life. While there are many books on the topic of success, Covey’s book is unique in its focus on developing personal character and internal motivation. Covey’s seven habits are: be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw. These habits can be applied to any area of life, whether it’s professional or personal goal setting, time management, or relationships. One of the things that make The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People so successful is that it doesn’t just offer tips or advice on how to be successful – it provides a framework for thinking about success.

Change Proof by Adam Markel
This product was recommended by Adam Jacobs from Bubblegum Casting
Resilience is one of the biggest qualities that all entrepreneurial leaders have to develop in these uncertain times. The world of entrepreneurship is harsh, and only a small percentage of those who start a business survive their first year. Those who survive are bound together by a quality that has been under the radar for too long – resilience. Since the pandemic, resilience has become much of a buzzword, but what does it really mean for entrepreneurs and leaders? In Change Proof, bestselling author Adam Markel investigates the dynamics of change and teaches us how to weaponize uncertainty instead of being its victim. We benefit from Adam’s extensive personal experience in both business development and personal development – two fields that are close to the heart of any aspiring entrepreneurial leader. If you need any more information, I’m happy to reply as soon as possible. I also provided my headshot if ever you’d want to use it.

Chasing Daylight by Gene O’Kelly
This product was recommended by Behdad Jamshidi from CJAM Marketing
This is a spin on a Success book as it was written by the KPMG CEO who had everything going for him. Then one day he was told that he has 3 brain tumours and within that time he wrote this book. It helped highlight what mattered in his final 4 months and what he focused on. Success changed from business to spending time with his family, and close friends and enjoying those quiet moments. It shifted my idea of success and think it’s an important book for any entrepreneur to read.

People often let external factors control them, but this book helped me create the future and career I wanted, no matter the circumstances.

The Great Book of Badass Women by Rachel Walsh
This product was recommended by Charles Cridland from YourParkingSpace
A wonderful book with mini-biographies and fun facts about 15 fearless and inspirational women who have made outstanding accomplishments. Some of these women are not recognized and don’t receive the kudos for their contributions as they should. But telling their stories is the first step. These women have paved the way for us today and made the world a better place to live in their unique ways, making history in the process. The chapter about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her experience was exceptional; I have read it several times. The book is very informative and entertaining. It would make a great gift for the upcoming holiday season. I hope this book will transform into a series and feature more inspiring female success stories yet to be told to the world.
