9 business books every small business owner should read
Hello my online buddies. For me it is a new year a new challenge and therefore I want to start this day with an inspiring post for all of you who want to grow their business.
I few years back somebody told me this wise sentence: „Who you are going to become is defined by the people you meet and the books you read.“ The people we meet are super important for us and for that I wrote the posts „The marketing napkin: Your Network“ and „The marketing napkin: How to develop your network“. So now it is time to talk about the books that inspired and helped me to grow my business through the past years.
