These 5 book helped me go from a drug addict with no job and $350 in my bank account to building a $30m+ online fitness business, achieve an 8 figure net worth, and marry the woman of my dreams… ⁣ Before I share the list, I first want to admit something…⁣ ⁣ I haven't read a 'self-help' book in over a year.⁣ ⁣ But cumulatively, I've read over 100 personal development and business books.⁣ ⁣ Nowadays, I mainly read non-fiction and the occasional autobiography.⁣ ⁣ I share that because what I read today is not what I read to get me to where I am today…⁣ ⁣ For who I am now, I believe it's more beneficial for me to read books that allow me to expand my imagination than more 'how-to' stuff…⁣ ⁣ After you've read so many, you realize they all say the same thing.⁣   I do believe it's important to go through this phase though so I want to share my top 5 books that have changed my life and what I'd recommend for any coach or entrepreneur.   Time Stamps:   (1:00) Personal Development Reading Phase (1:43) #1: A Man’s Search For Meaning By Viktor Frankl (2:51) #2: Deep Work By Cal Newport (3:50) #3: Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion By Robert Cialdini (4:40) #4: Ready, Fire, Aim By Michael Masterson (6:07) #5: The Power of Now By Eckhart Tolle ---------- Whenever You’re Ready, Here Are 4 Ways We Can Help You (For Free)   (Community) Join the Fitness Business Secrets FB  Community to Unlock Your Free 5 Clients in 5 Days Mini-Course   (Content) Grab our exact post templates that are responsible for more than 3,500 online clients in our business Automated Post Planner   (Instagram) 3-5x Your Engagement, Grow an Audience and Generate Dream Clients from Instagram IG Playbook For Health & Fitness Coaches   (Get Clarity) Schedule a FREE No-Obligation 15-minute Call to Explore How To Add 10,000/Mo to Your Business–Guaranteed
