My Recommended Reading List

Here are some of the books that I have read on the subject of extra income, side hustles, and getting motivated.  All of these books are fantastic reads whether you are just starting out or you are a seasoned pro.

What is the most important step to remember after you have read or listened to content that you connect with?  TAKE ACTION!

I can’t remember the exact order in which I have read/listened to all of these books, so they are not exactly in order. Here we go!

  1. The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future by Chris Guillebeau – This book reaffirmed to me that you don’t have to spend a fortune to start a business. Definitely a great first read.
  2. The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferris – A jolting reminder that there is no time like the present to live the life you want. A creative perspective helps to carve out possibilities you may never have thought of.
  3. Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T. Kiyosaki – When I first saw this book on the bookshelves in the late 90’s (when book stores were actually a thing), I had no idea how significant it was and the power it contained within it’s bindings. I was in my mid-20’s and when I read it earlier this year, I really wanted to go back in time and kick myself in the bum for not picking it up. It would have been a real Biff Tannen moment.
  4. How To Be F*cking Awesome by Dan Meredith – This guy. Wow. Open, honest, and really lets you have it. Dan’s the man and he lives up to his book title.
  5. Let Go: Expanded Edition: How to Transform Moments of Panic into a Life of Profits and Purpose by Pat Flynn – as a Pat Flynn disciple, this was a great origin story. I connected with this book because, as I think back on the times of some of my greater achievements, it wasn’t until I let go that I found my way to success. Pat’s work is very inspirational.
  6. Will It Fly? How to Test Your Next Business Idea So You Don’t Waste Your Time and Money by Pat Flynn – Yep, Pat’s on here twice. He gives some great sound advice that will save you loads of time, money, and heartache.

So, there’s my current favorites list of books I’ve read/listened to. I prefer to listen to the Audible versions of books when possible, especially if it is the author reading it.
