I am a HUGE believer in the power of personal development! I’ve learned so much more in the past 6 years of owning my own business than I ever did in college and grad school. You don’t need an MBA to succeed in business, but you do need the right mindset, as well as strategy. Both of those things you can learn in the following book suggestions!
If you have the entrepreneurial spirit, you need to read some of these books to prepare you for the challenging (yet crazy rewarding) road ahead!
I start every single morning reading and it really helps me start my day off right!
