The 6 Books That CHANGED MY LIFE

Hey everyone, it’s me! And you know what they say: readers are leaders. But let’s be real, not all books are created equal. Some have the power to completely transform your life, and that’s what I want to talk about today. I’m going to share the six books that took me from living in my parents’ basement – broke, bankrupt, and with bad credit – to becoming a multi-millionaire. Trust me, there are some real gems out there, and I’m going to help you skip the duds and go straight for the gold.

Ready to level up your life?

Before we dive into the list, let me quickly tell you that the principles I’m about to share have been instrumental in my journey, and I’ve poured them into two of my best-selling books.

📖 The Pick A Horse: The Power to Choose You is designed to help you identify your passion and commit to that “one thing” you won’t quit on. It’s packed with the techniques and exercises I personally use to stay focused and driven.

📖 The Manifest Journal is your daily companion for staying laser-focused on your goals. With structured morning and evening reflections, it helps you program your mind for success and make consistent progress.

These books are more than just words on a page; they’re your roadmap to applying the very principles that helped me change my life.

Why Readers Are Leaders

First, I want to emphasize the power of reading. One thing that always stuck with me is the fact that there was a time in history when people were denied the right to read. Think about that! That alone shows you how powerful literacy is. So, now that we can all read, let’s make the most of it.

Honorable Mentions

Before I get to my top six, I want to give a shoutout to some amazing books that almost made the cut. These are definitely worth checking out:

Freakonomics and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Knowing Your Value by Mika Brzezinski
The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
Anything by John Maxwell

The Top 6 Life-Changing Books

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

This is the book that truly blew my mind. I’d heard about it for years, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Napoleon Hill interviewed tons of successful people to find the common threads that led to their success. He shares powerful concepts like:

The power of affirmations and positive self-talk.
The importance of mentorship and networking with like-minded people.

The biggest takeaway from this book is that your mindset is the foundation of your wealth. Yes, tangible things like financial strategies are important, but it’s your thoughts and beliefs that truly make you rich.

I’ve been reading Think and Grow Rich for about 20 years. It’s like my mini-Bible – I pick it up, reread sections, and always find new nuggets of wisdom. I often give it away to students and friends who are ready for a change. It’s a great place to start. And the best part? It’s out of copyright, so you can find it for free or super cheap!

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith

This book is a game-changer for anyone who’s achieved some success but wants to break through to the next level. It taught me a crucial lesson: what got you to where you are won’t necessarily get you to where you want to go.

Marshall Goldsmith emphasizes that it’s often our behaviors that hold us back. For example, you might be great at showing up on time and meeting deadlines – those are tangible skills. But to go from six figures to millionaire status (which was my journey), I had to look at my behaviors.

I had to confront things like:

My attitude
How I communicated with employees
Whether I was sharing information effectively

This book helped me identify these roadblocks and break through to eight figures a year. It’s incredibly powerful. This book is similar to another honorable mention: Hell Yeah or No by Derek Sivers, which is all about focusing on what you are truly excited about.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Mark Manson is an amazing author, and this book is a life-changer. Now, fair warning: he uses strong language. If you’re sensitive to that, it might be a bit off-putting. But trust me, the information is worth it. As I say, eat the meat and spit out the bones.

This book helped me go from broke, bankrupt, and living in my parents’ basement to a multi-millionaire entrepreneur. The core message? You probably care too much about what other people think.

That’s a huge obstacle to success. You have to get to a point where you care about people, but you don’t care what they think.

People told me I couldn’t be a real estate mogul looking the way I do. They were wrong.
People said I was silly for being on YouTube with two master’s degrees. They were wrong. I make millions sharing information with you.

If I’d listened to the negativity, I’d still be stuck. You have to tune out the noise. Other people’s opinions don’t define your potential.

This book teaches you to let negativity go in one ear and out the other. Stop asking for opinions that will only bring you down. You already have your own doubts; you don’t need anyone else’s! You only need to convince yourself that it will work.

The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz

This book is pure magic. If you want to become a millionaire or multi-millionaire, you have to think big. It’s that simple. 99% of people don’t achieve that level of success, so you have to think differently.

You have to see yourself as bigger than you are right now. There’s real magic in thinking big. You can’t become a billionaire without thinking like one. Thoughts become things, so big thoughts lead to big results. Period.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

This one can be controversial. Some people criticize it, saying it doesn’t give specific advice and that the story might not be entirely true.

Here’s the thing: I don’t care if it’s 100% factual or not. This book changed my life. It made me realize that some of the financial beliefs I grew up with were “poor” mindsets, even though my parents were educated and successful in their own way.

My parents’ mindset: Go to school, get a job, have a family.
Rich Dad’s mindset: You can have employees, millions of dollars, and freedom. You don’t have to trade your time for money. You can have others trade their time and you pay them and you make millions.

This book teaches you that being rich is a mindset, not just about education. The school system doesn’t teach you how to be wealthy. You need to learn from people who are already where you want to be.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a life-changing book, and I highly recommend it.

The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss

Shout out to Tim Ferriss! When I read this book, it blew my mind. He talks about creating a digital business, which means:

No physical office
Running your business from your phone or laptop
Location independence

This opened my eyes to the power of e-commerce and online business. I was so focused on brick-and-mortar stores, but I’ve made way more money online.

The 4-Hour Workweek gave me tangible strategies for building an online business, like email marketing, automation, and cart abandonment techniques.

One of my mentors told me, “Get 10,000 emails, you’ll make a million dollars.” And guess what? She was right. I now have an email list of over 100,000 people.

With today’s technology and apps, you can automate so much and make a great income without being tied to a specific location. This book was a complete game-changer for me.

It’s Your Turn!
