Books

Here are some of our favourite books to help anyone who runs their own business - a mixture of personal development, business skills, and marketing know-how.

 

“Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me” by Penny Power with Thomas Power

In this book Penny Power, co-founder with Thomas of ecademy.com, shares the essential philosophy of online social and business media and shows the true meaning of being connected. A must read for anyone who wants to build their business through creating and nurturing relationships, using technology as the enabler. It's full of very practical examples and the ethos very closely mirror's Jane's marketing process approach of developing customers by turning strangers into friends.

“The Wealthy Author” by Joe Gregory and Debbie Jenkins

The Wealthy Author by Debbie Jenkins and Joe Gregory has been causing a stir amongst publishers and non-fiction authors because of it's radical, and undeniably effective, approach to winning at the publishing game. This book is for you if

  1. You are serious about writing a non-fiction book and want to get it right first time
  2. You have a book in print (self published or with a mainstream) but sales are disappointing
  3. You believe that the success of your book is down to the actions you take, not the wishes you make
  4. You are a 'successful' author but are frustrated you still need the day job to survive

You can buy it on Amazon but here you can get The Wealthy Author along with free insider access worth £15.00...

“Remember The Ice” by Bob Nicoll

Bob has a passion for linguistics and empowering word choices and in this book he shows how articulating your thoughts in a clear and precise manner means you eliminate confusion and gain confidence in your messge and ulimately attract more of what you want. The simple story behind the title reveals the amazing effect on sales of changing one store's advert from "Don't Forget The Ice" to "Remember The Ice". Read more and buy the book from the Remember The Ice website (easy to do and quick to arrive!).

“Living Your Best Life” and “Now What?” by Laura Berman Fortgang

Laura is internationally recognised as a pioneer in the personal coaching field and her books reflect her refreshing, no nonsense approach and style. If you want to take stock of where you are in your personal and business life, these two books help you assess where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there.

“Change Your Life in 7 Days” and “Instant Confidence” by Paul McKenna

If you only know him from TV, it’s well worth delving a little deeper into Paul’s work which is based on a technique called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). He gives a fascinating insight into the workings of our most powerful tool, our own brain, and shows how to put his techniques to work to overcome our fears and achieve what we want to in everyday life.

“Free Agent Manual: The Rules and Tools for Your Solo Success” by Josephine Monroe

A “how to” book with a difference that shows you how to thrive and earn money the way you want to. With an engaging and straightforward style, Josephine lays out the rules and tools for becoming a “free agent”, someone who exchanges time, talent, and energy for money or other opportunities like contacts or skills.

“The E Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work And What To Do About It” by Michael Gerber

The “E” in this case stands for “Entrepreneur” and this book sets out the blueprint for building a successful business as opposed to just getting yourself a flexible job that will grind you into the ground. He says that you know you have a real business when you can go away for a year and return to find it more profitable than when you left it.

“Grow Your Own Networks” by Jo Parfitt and Jacqui Tillyard

A hands-on guide to help you get the most out of networking based around “20 tips to make you think and 20 tasks to make you work”! Jo and Jacqui say they “work hard at building the kind of relationships that build business” and in this book they show you how you can too.
