The Curated List of our Favourite Books & Resources
Successful entrepreneurs read. It doesn’t matter if you’re reading business books, biographies or fiction. Every book you read teaches you something new or helps you see things differently. Some say the number of books you should read is 17 a year. Bill Gates apparently reads one book a week.
It doesn’t matter how many books you read, the important thing is that you are consistently reading and learning!

Books
If you don't have the space for books at your place, join your local library. You can borrow physical books, or borrow them online to read on your phone or tablet. Or try a kindle subscription - great value if you're reading a book a week!
Everyone learns differently, so if you're not into physical books, try audiobooks instead. Your local library will have audiobooks, or try an audible subscription and combine your listening with a daily walk.
