BOOKS
- Blattner Trevor, Dr.: Redefining the Top 1% – Morgan James Publishing (July 27, 2021) (LEADERSHIP). This book discusses advanced concepts of leadership and personal development. It’s not an easy read, it’s not entertaining, and I found myself studying the concepts very carefully. There is action involved and exercises that you may complete if you want to apply this knowledge successfully to your life. Read it while you are 100% focused, calm, and away from distractions. And then, read it again, at least 2 times. The first read is only a warmup so you can really dive deep into the topics through the 2nd read.
- Dean Graziosi: The underdog advantage (ENTREPRENEURSHIP). A book for those that feel stuck in life or those trapped in mediocrity. For people that feel they missed their chance, and those who can’t find a starting point. In other words, for underdogs.
