#JTInTheRaw 34: The Best Business Books List
Welcome to this week’s show of #JTInTheRaw where I chew the thin on business. Every week I do my best to help you lead, manage and run your business better. My focus is fitness business but any business will benefit from JTInTheRaw!
This week I’ve got the #1 strategy to make you the best leader, entrepreneur, parent, lover or person. Stay tuned … this will amaze you … the #1 strategy!
Part of this week’s show includes input from you. You’re going to be part of show 34 and I promise it won’t hurt, be hard and will help your business … I guarantee it!
What then is the #1 strategy: reading! All my members of the Industry Leaders Roundtable are readers! I love hearing about the books they are reading.
I listened to Luke Carlson on The Fitness Business Podcast and he reads 30mins Monday to Friday; and 3 hours on a Saturday. By the way this week’s show is a dead set ripper!!!
The most successful people read! And this means reading books not Facebook feeds or Instagram!
Chantal on The Fitness Business Podcast asked every guest for 3 apps, rituals or habits the guests do to be successful and stay on top. Nearly all guests have said reading is critical to their growth.
In fact on www.fitnessbusinesspodcast.com you can now download an ebook that contains all the books that are recommended by guests.
Now I have a client who is not a big reader. And I get some people are slow readers, poor readers and even dislike reading. So start downloading audio books!
When you read you feed your intelligence and your soul.
Now for something different in JTInThRaw. I haven’t done this ever before … I’m going to turn the show over to you … so get ready to type.
Question 1: Put in the comments your fav book. It can be fact or fiction. What is the best book you would recommend people MUST read not should read MUST read? Go ….
