10 Good Books You Need to Read

13.02.13

good books to readMy idea of a perfect day includes getting cozy in front of the fireplace with a good book.

There’s nothing like laying in my chaise lounger in PJs, sipping on an almond milk bambuccino, and learning a new thing or two from other entrepreneurs and authors… Ahh, bliss.

So I thought it would be cool to do today’s episode of She Takes on the World TV in front of my fireplace, and take you on a tour of some great books for women entrepreneurs.

    Greetings, I am new to your blog and I love that you have great music playing softly behind your video’s… Love it. Your concept of “She takes on the world” needs to be discovered by every woman, especially young women. I am over 60 and have been in corporate America all my life. It has been a great learning platform and has been very rewarding for me, but… yes but; I am now aunching an online presence and already it is proving to be so much more rewarding. Thank you for carrying the torch of leadership and lighting the way of truth, confidence and business values for many woman that will catch your vision and move into what will give them the access to take the part of this world that is purposed to be theirs. And with you, many will not wait until 60… :)

    Thank you for sharing this list—it’s a great guide! I’ve been meaning to read Danielle LaPorte’s book so this is the kick in the pants I need.

  • Marilyn Powers

    I always love a good Self-help book and this list is full of them! I watched this video and immediately bought Fire Starter Sessions. It’s amazing! I’m so inspired and making changes to my personal brand already!
    I’d like to share a recent book I enjoyed. Arlene Dickinson’s “Persuasion” is a great book for showing you how to persuade without being pushy and without compromising your values. I loved the section on our destructive tendencies to do negative self-talk and how you have to persuade yourself before anyone else. I learned that one the hard way and it took too long!
    Thanks for the list – I’ll be eagerly reading through it!
