Greenlights<\/a> by Matthew McConaughey\u00a0<\/b><\/h1>\n

Published in 2020, this is a memoir of McConaughey\u2019s life, personal experience, and philosophies. The title is derived from his metaphor for moments in life when things align and go well, similar to catching green lights while driving.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book shares the green and red lights that McConaughey encountered throughout his life, extracting valuable insights and wisdom from it. Navigating through this crazy traffic, his story is a lesson of resilience and adaptability that can inspire entrepreneurs to approach obstacles with creativity and determination.<\/span><\/p>\n

McConaughey encourages the reader to embrace authenticity and embark on a journey of self-discovery. His positive mindset is gold for entrepreneurs who are struggling to pursue their own happiness, which is a central theme of his philosophy that should be embraced by all business owners out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Alchemist<\/a> by Paulo Coelho<\/b><\/h1>\n

Santiago is a young Andalusian shepherd who embarked on a quest. He seeks to find his \u201cPersonal Legend\u201d – his life purpose and destiny. As he searches, Santiago will travel far from his home in Spain and will meet several interesting people who will help him be his own true self.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a book about following one\u2019s dreams. Once again, resilience is a central theme that will heavily impact our lives and our success, but this time, it talks about passion, showing how important it is to align one\u2019s actions with personal aspirations. There are many valuable lessons to take from Santiago\u2019s journey that can be applied to our day-to-day business life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coelho teaches us to see challenges, not as problems, but as opportunities to grow and get closer to our goals. He showcases how important it is to trust our intuition and to have faith in ourselves. And he never let us forget that, if we want to get there, we cannot give up, no matter how hard the fall, or how dark the path in front of us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Becoming<\/a> by Michelle Obama<\/b><\/h1>\n

Here, the former First Lady of the United States brings us her own life experience, from childhood to her life inside the White House. She explores themes of identity, self-discovery, the constant process of becoming the person one aspires to be, and the consequences of one\u2019s actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Balance is a lesson to be taken from this book. Business owners will often suffer when trying to manage careers and personal lives. For Michelle, this wasn\u2019t different, especially with the pressure of the public eye hovering over her role as a wife and a mother. The insights she brings can help us find the path to success with the right priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also brings several lessons on leadership, mostly that she gained during her life in the White House. Entrepreneurs can learn from her approach to leadership, community engagement, and the pursuit of meaningful goals. The book serves as a reminder that business success can be intertwined with a commitment to making a positive difference in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons<\/a> by Kevin Hart<\/b><\/h1>\n

Another biography, this time by famous actor and comedian Kevin Hart, who grew up in Philadelphia and struggled a lot before achieving success in the entertainment industry. This book is filled with humour, life lessons, and anecdotes that can inspire entrepreneurs to reach for their goals with smiles on their faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hart\u2019s life is an example of hard work getting someone far. His journey is marked by numerous challenges and setbacks, especially in the competitive entertainment industry. More than never giving up, this book teaches us how to navigate failure and learn from our falls. We can always get up and try again with new experiences to guide our actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hart encourages a realistic understanding of the entrepreneurial journey, emphasizing that success is often accompanied by trials and tribulations. However, he always reminds us to keep a positive attitude, highlighting the impact of humour and optimism on our lives, both professional and personal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Books are an incredible way to live other lives, embark on incredible journeys and experience different perspectives. They offer us the wisdom and insights of those who have come before us, helping us avoid costly mistakes. Reading not only transforms our understanding of business but enriches our perception of life itself.\u00a0 The joy of discovering new worlds, empathizing with characters, and witnessing completed stories brings hope and the will to do it ourselves. Books are one of the best resources in human history, inspiring while teaching. So take these suggestions and dive into these worlds that someone shared with the world, and now I share with you. Wishing you an incredible week ahead, and until we meet again, happy reading!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
