I have been reading and listening, and still am. I write social media posts and I get my inspiration from the recommendations listed below but also my daily experiences, family, entertainment and the news. The books that fall under my recommendations are to my opinion books that will help you to progress in your personal and business career, regardless being self-employed, an entrepreneur or corporate leader. I added also some of the podcasts I frequently listen too and other sources that inspire.
I have placed some links as well, it can be an affiliate or to a platform I used it (or believe it is accessable for everyone). It is simply for you to see what I exactly mean.
On social media I do not list my sources (I do now and then place links for your convenience). It are thoughts that came to me, stuck with me. Thoughts brought to me, and on a certain moment put into my own words. If I quote someone, you will always find the name.
If there is anyone who believes that content has been copied from somewhere else without sourcing, feels the urge to report, and/or is offended, I do apologize. Best solution is just to contact me so we can come to a mutual understanding.
