As an enneagram type 5, I naturally love reading. I especially love reading business books and learning about different ways to connect to my clients and grow my business. I wanted to share my favorite books I have read that have helped my business and myself thrive.  A lot of these are about mindset and I think your mind is super powerful and if you believe you can accomplish something, then it is more likely to happen. These books have been so helpful in developing a plan to reach the goals I want from my business.

Building a story brand

I love psychology and how it works with business. How people think and behave plays a huge role when putting together your business brand. It not only helps you visualize your ideal client but also how to REACH that client! Because your ideal client can’t hire you if they don’t even know you exist!

Tribes

Another fantastic book that helps you have the mindset to reach your ideal client. How your ideal client is most likely part of a community or “tribe”. We are all social by nature. We need to connect to people to be happy. This book explains why your tribe is so important and how businesses and brands tap into that thinking to better improve your community.

Built to Belong

Similar to Tribes, this book was written by one of the sweetest and smartest people I know. To her core, she believes in people supporting people. We were all meant to connect with other human beings. This book helps you understand that feeling of community and why it is so important, especially as a business owner.

Strengths Finder 2.0

I read this while I worked in marketing at another job. This book was such a good read because it teaches you how to learn your own strengths and tap into other’s strengths to build the best team possible. If you have any type of team like second photographers, associate photographers, or maybe virtual assistants. This will help you understand what each person’s strengths are so you can work more efficiently together.
