5 Books for Fly Female Entrepreneurs
I LOVE to read. And I have a pretty nice library for a New York City apartment dweller. I have a bookshelf full of books, plus books scattered throughout my apartment and even a mini bookshelf on my desk at work. I won't even discuss the books on my phone and iPad. But believe me, I reads a lot of books.
Recently I have been working on really strategizing my career. As I start to think about what I want the next phase of my life/business to look like its imperative that I stay focused and know all there is to know about career navigation, and how to stay grounded as I reach my goals. From time to time I re-read my books. Im the type to write notes in the margins, on sheets of paper - constantly asking questions and trying to capture the aha moments that come to me.
Below I am sharing some of those books along with some of the notes I may have scribbled along the margins, or text I highlighted that gave me a sonic boom! As these books continue to enlighten and inspire me I hope that you take the chance to read them. I promise they'll do the same for you.
