Contest Winners Announced for Best Business Book

The Freedom Team had a very difficult time narrowing down all of the books that were submitted for the Best Business Book Contest.  There were so many great ones to pick from AND a ton of great recommendations I know our team will be reading this summer.

I complied all of the entries so you can have an easy to reference ”to-read” list. One aspect of this list I found interested was that not all of the books submitted would be found in the business section of a book store, but the information in the books can be directly applied to your professional life.

Reading – The Best 15 Minutes You will Ever Invest

View Freedom Personal Development’s Recommended Reading List

I recently was made aware of two comparative statistics that I thought you might find extremely valuable. I learned that the average American reads less than 2 books per year, one and a half to be exact, with almost two thirds of those going unfinished. On the whole, Americans have lost the habit of reading good books.

There is a notable exception, however. CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies read, on average, roughly FOUR BOOKS PER WEEK! That equates to about 200 times the average for the rest of America, and I can guarantee that the vast majority Read More...

First, we must understand what the Law of Attraction is. Understand it’s nothing new; it’s been around since the beginning of time. It’s a law of nature. The Law of Attraction basically states that everything that you have in your life, every positive thing in your life, is a result of you attracting it. That’s pretty easy for people to accept, but the Law of Attraction also states that everything negative in your life you’ve also Read More...
