I love it when my clients, after months of writing and revising and doubting themselves and the whole value of their projects, breakthrough to the other side and begin the process of publishing their books. So, I just wanted to pause long enough to celebrate some more. Because it’s easy to reach that goal, then move on to the very next thing. I know, I do it all the time.

Third is Jon Corteen’s The Profit Culture Formula: The Blueprint to Successfully Recruit, Retain, and Inspire Business Professionals
The Financial Services industry has a challenging retention rate, and it’s next to impossible to get people to stay around long enough to become profitable. How can you keep growing while others in the industry tread water or lose ground? What’s the secret ingredient? In a nutshell: A culture like you’ve never seen before. If you’re leveraging contract workers, blowing big money left and right trying to figure out the whole culture thing, which is just shorthand for engagement/recruitment/retention, so you can make the kind of income you know is possible, you’re going to need to create an environment that will keep the right folks coming in the door and staying put. And this book will teach you exactly how to do just that. You can buy it HERE
Fourth but not least by any means, Dr. Serena Sterling’s Pain: A Love Story
Repressed emotions can manifest into physical and emotional pain, even acute and chronic illness. This is a vulnerable and honest exploration of why we repress our emotions, how our relationships can harm and heal us, and how being heard and seen is the most powerful antidote to pain. If you have pain or a medically unexplained symptom that just won’t go away and you recognize that you have a history of pretending things are OK; if you tend to put the needs of others before your own; if you come from a family where feelings were taboo; if you often feel like your true feelings are a burden to others, then your pain might be rooted in repressed emotions. And this book is for you. You can buy it HERE.
