Books for growing your business

What are you focused on in your business?


When it comes to growing your business, it's important to constantly be learning. Things are always changing. PLUS, getting different and varied perspectives builds a knowledge base that is equally diverse in thinking.


I follow a lot of amazing business owners. Some I've had the pleasure of working with directly and some through their courses. Some are not easy to get access to, so the next best thing is their books.


So, I'm sharing a few of my faves (plus my own). These business owners have some pretty amazing views and strategies I think you can implement in your business, from mindset to tactics.

Here are a few of my current faves:

1) We Should All Be Millionaires: Change Your Thinking, Build Bank, and Claim Your Independence by Rachel Rodgers (coming soon, pre-order available) 

2) Mindset by Carol Dweck 

3) Launch by Jeff Walker

4) Pivot by Jenny Blake

5) Pattern Launch Plan: Sell more patterns consistently without being sleazy by Tian Connaughton 


These are all great books (the one by Rachel Rodgers I highly recommend because I'm in her program and she's a phenomenal woman and teacher and mentor) with so many lessons. Some you will not agree with. Some you will. You don't have to agree with everything, but know it's important to see how others who are successful think.


I hope you find these valuable! 


You got this!

Set the foundation


This month in the Society, my new membership community where I help our clients (women business owners) build the foundation of their businesses, we’re focusing on Building Your Brand. We are teaching our members how to use the simple framework to amplify their offer and their brand, by leading with the value. 

In the economical environment, we’re in right now, it’s ever-important for women, particularly Black women and women and color, to be able to generate income outside of the “stable” 9-5 because we know those jobs are not secure. They can evaporate in a blink of an eye. We need to be able to generate revenue from a diversified stream of income.

When I learned how to lead with the value of my offer with authenticity and love and thoughtfulness, that when it all changed.

It meant that I had to pull back on the bro-y tactics I was studying. It means to tap into my body and really lead with what felt right for me. And that’s when it all started to click into place. For a long time, I was just going through the motions. I believed the old Fields of Dreams saying that “if I built it, they would come” meaning that my work would and should speak for itself without any intervention on my part.

And I used that tactic because I was afraid to be visible. I was happy to stand in the shadows with a hope and a prayer that things would just magically happen. And, surprise! It didn’t happen. People weren’t knocking down the doors to get my offer, so I made more. Surely, the forums were right that I just need to keep posting new products every hour on the hour, regardless if anything sold, right? And when THAT didn’t work, I felt like the biggest loser, not knowing it wasn’t the product. Instead, it was me not sharing the value of what I have to offer to the right people. It was me hiding in the shadows and not sharing how the thing I offer could transform their lives.

Over the last 10+ years, I’ve learned a lot and have shared a lot in books and courses because I know how important it is to be able to generate an income doing the work I love. I’ve been able to generate income that put food on the table, a roof over our heads, savings in the bank, a retirement plan, and more.

Setting those foundations in place to sell what you offer with confidence so you can generate consistent and predictable income is what matters. When you work with me, I teach you how to go fish for those sales, how to make the offer, so you can make big money moves.
