\nAs the sunshine finally returns to those of us who've been under a long winter, why don't you head outside to get some vitamin D with a book that will help you take your blog & business to the next level. These are a few of my favorite reads that will inspire, enlighten, empower and or educate you in approaching your blog like the small business it is & making the most of the opportunities it presents.<\/p>\n
Fire Starter Sessions<\/i> <\/a>by Danielle LaPorte:\u00a0This book alone made the largest impact on launching my business & her concept of feelings over goals is something I use in my life almost daily.<\/p>\n Tribes<\/a><\/i> by Seth Godin:\u00a0As bloggers we\u2019re first & foremost creating & leading communities on our blogs. Godin explains why the word needs more leaders of tribes, & why so few people are actually willing to step up to do so.<\/p>\n Lean In<\/a> <\/i>by Sheryl Sandberg:\u00a0As spread-thin bloggers, juggling day jobs or families & the overwhelm of running your own business — this book speaks to the challenges we face & gets you thinking about the best choices you can make for yourself.<\/p>\n Start With Why<\/a> <\/i>by Simon Sinek:\u00a0Sinek is a great blend of science & data you can\u2019t argue with, plus stories that make you want to go share what you\u2019ve learned with everyone you know.
