1.Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo

Hot off the presses, this book felt like an early present for me since I received it fresh to my audible library the day before my birthday. If you don’t know Marie Forleo then hang on– she has no problem dropping the f bomb while she preaches some of the most inspirational stories you’ll ever hear.
This is for you if you like tough love and for someone to kick you in the ass to get you moving to take on bigger and better things for your life.

2. The Inner Game of Tennis By W. Timothy Gallwey

Have you ever wondered how people focus on being present in the moment? How do musicians remember scores as if it is effortless and how do marathoners not lose their pace? This book teaches you the tactical secrets of tuning into the present moment so that you can immediately apply it to your own life. The morning after I started reading this book I stopped counting down minutes on the treadmill and was able to simply enjoy the run. Plus, you do not have to know or like anything about tennis for this book to change your life.
This book is for you if your mind is constantly busy and you need a break from the brain chatter.

If you do any interaction during the day where you need to either sell– or just convince others to agree with you-– then this book gives you the detailed “bags to unpack” for a convincing sale. A must read for small business owners, but would even work well as a tactical guide to convince your spouse to agree with you.
This book is for you if you have heard there is psychology behind sales, but don’t really know what that entails.
