Great material for combating financial complacency!

Which one of these money lies have you believed?

Lately, I've been listening to and reading some great books. There was a long period I was stagnant. Not reading or listening. Not growing like I should. I struggle with my own ADHD and have always found books impossible. Audio books have dramatically improved it, but I still struggle to stay engaged at times. I'm sure it doesnt help that 90% of the time I'm driving or cutting grass. 😂 I feel having critical conversation around them will help process and retain.

I've got an incredible group around me, so I thought it would be worth asking, what books do you love that promote productive habits, improve leadership, enhance critical thinking, etc?

The books I've read in the past year (some for the second or more time):

-High Road Leadership(current)
-Never Split the Difference
-The Art of Learning and Self- Discovery
-Think and Grow Rich
-How to Control the Controllables and Thrive
-Mediocrity Never Wins
-Business Communucation
-Speakology
-The McKinsey Way
-The McKinsey Mind

Please leave a recommendation, comment if you've read any and your thoughts of them, or if you found any helpful and plan to explore yourself.

P.S. They have all been free through Hoopla and Jackson District Library!

I was excited when I was working through this campaign. I love to have conversations around these kind of things. How do you consider longevity in your planning?

Do you have plans to work until 65? Maybe 70 to make up for some years you didn't save? Statistically, there's a good chance you may be unable to work until your desired age due to a health restriction. Now what?

Many factors can influence the timing of a person's retirement, but new research shows nothing comes close to health problems.

On Administrative Professional's Day, I have to take a second to acknowledge and thank Ashlee for all she does! From greeting as you walk in the door to processing business to (trying) keeping me on track, we can't do what we do without her!

I finished this audio book this morning and highly recommend it. Less than 4 hours of audio for a lifetime of information!
