Elonaire, it is my greatest desire that you become successful. One of the ways I'll achieve that is by helping you find valuable and life-applicable information that will change the course of your life for good.
That being said, here are 4 books every Elonaire must or should have read by now. If you've not read any of them, go and buy them now or download them on the internet. If you know how to look. Bottom line; You must read these books!
1. CHANGE YOUR THINKING CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY BRIAN TRACY:
If you have not read this book you should go and do that right away. This book is so powerfuli t will change your thinking instantly from chapter one.
In this book, Brian Tracy delves into the power of our mindset, beliefs, and thought patterns, offering practical strategies to reframe our thinking and achieve personal and professional success. With a focus on self-improvement, goal-setting, and positive psychology, Brian provides readers with a roadmap to elevate their thinking and create a fulfilling life.
My biggest lesson from this book is in chapter five. A lot of people suffer from learned helplessness. And most times, they don't realize that the solution to their problem is not far-fetched. In Chapter 5, Tracy introduced the "Law of Substitution," which suggests that by focusing on solutions rather than problems, individuals can shift their mindset toward positive outcomes. He emphasized the importance of creativity, persistence, and continuous learning in solving challenges and overcoming obstacles.
If you don't have a copy go grab one now. It is available for free on the internet on some site if you know how to look.
2. SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY AFFECTED PEOPLE BY STEPHEN R. COVEY:
This is another powerful book you need to read to understand the fundamental basics of effective people.
Think about the top 10% high performers in every industry. They don't perform magic, they only behave in a certain pattern that others ignore. In his book, Covey explained in detail those 7 habits that make them effective.
I struck gold from chapter one where Covey talked about being proactive. A lot of people spend time complaining and being reactive to things that don't add value to them. When you're proactive you take control of your life rather than give someone else the power to dictate how you feel and act.
It doesn't end there. In chapter 4 Covey shared one principle that helped me make over 100 million naira in 2021. That is cultivating a Win-Win mindset. Here, Covey advocates for a mindset of mutual benefit and collaboration. He suggests that individuals should seek solutions and agreements that satisfy the needs of all parties involved. This habit promotes effective communication, empathy, and the development of healthy relationships, both in personal and professional spheres. As a business person, this is the kind of mindset you want to cultivate when dealing with customers. This mindset allows you to be solution-oriented and valuable to society.
3. ATOMIC HABIT BY JAMES CLEAR:
If there is anything Author, James Clear has taught me it is that success is scientific.
A study was carried out and it was discovered that the top 10% of high performers across different industries like sport, music, entertainment, etc. They all have a certain pattern of behavior that was formed from decades of maintaining certain habits. That is the reason why they're successful.
You need to read this book if success is important to you.
I've read this book only once but there is one quote I can never forget.
"You do not rise to the levels of your goals, you fall to the level of your system"
What this means is that, when everything fails, your habits are the bedrock you are going to fall upon.
Your Habit determines your future. What you work on will work on you. You need this book to develop healthy habits. Go get a copy
digital or physical, I don't care.
4. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY BY MORGAN HOUSEL:
Money is not the root of all evil. It is a tool to make your life meaningful. If you don't get your money right, nothing will ever be right in your life. How do you build lasting wealth even from your small salary? How do you grow your income? These are important questions and Morgan's book can get you started in the right direction.
One of the most important secrets Morgan shared in his book is that no one is crazy. We all view money based on our past experiences and interactions with the world. Therefore, it is important you know who to take money advice from and who not to.
Secondly, there is a big difference between getting wealthy and staying wealthy. Getting wealthy comes from taking a lot of risks and being optimistic whereas it takes the power of compounding to stay wealthy, which in turn helps you become financially unbreakable.
You should read this book!
