The Wealth Mindset is an extraordinary guide on how to transform your mind and attitude towards money to build wealth and live the life you’re destined for.

Napoleon Hill’s acclaimed and worldly famous Think and Grow Rich should be everyone’s manual on life. He teaches the formula to success in the most clear and succinct way. The techniques he discusses dates back to the beginning of mankind which we now call today “the secret.” However just as the other greats, such as Joseph Murphy, Hill reveals how to master the art of lasting success.

If there’s one thing you’ll always hear entrepreneurs try to drill into beginners is getting you to understand your “why.” Why do you want to begin a business? Why do you want to make money, or bring your idea to life? Why?

I’m a very inquisitive person by nature and I have a lot of passions, so instead of blindly following my “passion” because there is money in it, I ask myself WHY. I also need to know what it takes for me to succeed. This books illustrates how all successful people think and how the rest think differently, but it all starts with WHY.

The brilliant thing about Darren Hardy, is that he was once you and I. His books are tried and true experiences of a bonafide entrepreneur. If you’re considering starting a business, get your mind right first, then execute with intention.

“The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster: Why Now Is The Time To #JoinTheRide, will prepare you for the wild ride of entrepreneurship. It will warn you (of forthcoming fears, doubts, and the self-defeating conditioning of your upbringing and past), inoculate you (from the naysayers, dream-stealers, and pains of rejection and failure), and guide you (as you build those under-developed skills of independence, self-motivation, and self-accountability) safely past the landmines that blow up and cause the failure of 66 percent of all new businesses.” 

Enough. Said.

How-to books are brilliant and a must for changing your mindset. But what better way to understand the techniques and strategies outlined in these books, then to read them from prominent leaders and entrepreneurs of the 21st century. Arianna Huffington has changed the game when it comes to producing news-worthy blog content and thriving.

I’ll admit it, I’m not his biggest fan. I’ve included his book Crushing It because Gary Vee has a way of saying things I wouldn’t always agree with. HOWEVER, it’s his knowledge, mindset, execution of business and the relationships he cultivates that make him worthy of following. There’s no doubt he’s crushing it. His “I don’t care about what anyone thinks” attitude makes him who is today. The title is fitting because he’s unencumbered by the beliefs, opinions and thoughts of others. It is that kind of mindset that makes him unstoppable. 

When my brother introduced me to Mark Manson years back, he spoke about him in high regard. He referred to him as “THE blogger” to follow as his messages and views on life were hard-hitting, direct and thought-provoking. While his website markmanson.net touches on topics like happiness, self-knowledge and habits, his views on not giving a f*ck is similar with Gary V’s in that his book encourages you to let go of things that just don’t matter. With a bit of ruthless humour, he guides you to embrace what you’re fearful of and take better control of your life. 

Emotional Intelligence is the ability and awareness to compartmentalize your feelings and express them at the right time and in a thoughtful, civilized and respectful manner.

Probably the only non-technical tool you’ll need to completely enrich your personal and business life. Why is emotional intelligence so important? Understanding emotional triggers and reacting logically when it comes to business empowers you to motivate yourself, to commit to action and followthrough.

No one wants a hot mess on the team, because they broke up with their girlfriend on the weekend, and no one wants a friend who criticizes you because they feel awful about themselves that day. Being emotionally intelligent will set you apart from the rest.
