Without giving away the whole story and the message (you have to read the book yourself for that) in this little 120 page book, we are reminded that nothing about our business or being of service is really about us – it’s about the people we serve.
“Switch” is a book whose principals are applicable to you whether you’re a parent, a student, an business owner, and employee, or anybody in between. Some parts of the book were logical enough but brought to my attention things I don’t often think about.
Book Review – Start With Why by Simon Sinek – There hasn’t been a book that has affected me in the way Simon Sinek’s book “Start With Why” has in a very long time…maybe ever, and I read a lot, so that’s saying something. To say that this book has changed me and the way I do business today would be a massive understatement.

In “Love Is The Killer App,” Tim Sanders talks about a topic we, as small business owners and entrepreneurs don’t hear about very often and talk about even less…love, related to business. (if it makes you more comfortable, you can substitute the word caring, charity or compassion for love.) Tim defines love in business as…
I’m sure my friend and business associate was trying to tell me something when she recommended Cheryl Richardson’s book “Take Time For Your Life: A 7-Step Program for Creating the Life You Want” to me.

“The Laws of Lifetime Growth” by Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura of Strategic Coach is another small, quickly read book packed with just a ton of great information that can be very impactful in your life. There are so many great nuggets in this book there is no way to cover them all in this…
