My Favorite Business Books and Podcasts
I personally love books and podcasts. I think it is like getting to mentor with someone who is an expert in the field. This is especially true for blogging, SEO and other areas that I am still trying to learn as much as I can.
I have a list that is constantly growing. If there are recommendations you have, send them my way! For now, enjoy the list below:
Books:
- The Artists Way by Julia Cameron – Workbook that helped me make huge leaps in my business. It is mainly used to break through creative blocks and transform your business or artform.

PODCASTS
Podcasts are one of my favorite things because it’s like a mentorship that you get with the highest achieving people in their industries. There are a few that I love because they interview specialists that offer great insight on areas that I’m not strong in, including taxes ;).
