Isn’t it awesome to have quick access to so many resources and so many people that have paved the way for us in business?
Whether it’s listening to a podcast or reading books for small business owners, we are so fortunate that we have business-building β and money-making β tools at our fingertips.
Truth: I am more of a podcast person myself. Even on a quick drive to the office, it can really spark something in you or give you that motivation you need to kick off the day.
That said, taking a deeper dive with a small business book each evening can make a huge difference for your business and your income. And then there’s the perfect compromise: the audiobook.
