BOOKS
One of the best things about being in business (and about life for that matter), is the amount of knowledge there is out in the world to soak up. I love learning new ideas to implement in my businesses, and reading inspirational books. And, I love the fact that today, we can tap into this knowledge so easily... so easily.
We can do this without spending a cent by listening to podcasts, renting books from a library, reading blog posts, watching our favourite people on Facebook LIVE, YouTube videos and the list goes on.
