One thing that I believe has helped me continue to grow is investing in myself year after year. I make it a priority to continue learning about this online space.

As a content creator it’s important to learn fast and be able to adapt so that you can keep getting better. That education can come in many different ways whether that’s classroom, coaching or online learning.

But books are the most attainable way to increase your knowledge in this online space, and they are what helped me get better. They’re cost effective and provide great information. When I was first starting my journey as a content creator books were my go to for learning the basics of business.

If I wanted to learn more about marketing I bought a marketing book!

Today I’m sharing with you some books I’ve read that helped me grow my creator business. Some I read once, others I’ve read multiple times over. But nonetheless, these books have been the source of continued growth for me.

Typically I buy audiobooks so I have the flexibility of listening to them while I do other things. In the car during school pickup, on road trips, while cooking dinner, while working during the day.

Audiobooks are perfect if you lead a full life like me. You can get one book every month when you sign up for Audible. I’ve had an Audible membership for 3 years now and it’s been great! I love the flexibility of it because I’m always on the move. You can find almost every title available on Audible in addition to your favorite podcasts, which makes it that much better. Here’s a peek at my Audible library.

Superfans

This was the book the helped me embrace my entrepreneur journey at every stage especially in the beginning.

Social media can be so much about the numbers and we forget about the actual people that are supporting us with their real time and money.

Acknowledging and actually caring about those supporters is what will help us get to where we want to be faster. It’s about community and relationship.

This book helped me understand that more.

    Ultimately reading is an important part of being a better writer. It’s like a gym for the mind; you’re exercising your brain to enhance your writing skills. If you’re serious about becoming a better content creator, you have to understand the importance of using “engaging words”. There’s captions, website copy, newsletters and so much more. To be a better writer, reading is a must.

    Reading helps to expand your vocabulary and knowledge of language. Especially sales language if you’re focused on that. When you read, you’re exposed to different writing styles, which allows you to learn from more experienced writers and apply the techniques to your own writing.

    Reading also encourages creativity, which is essential in creating good content. By reading books for content creators you’re exposed to new ideas and perspectives. This helps to expand your mind and encourages you to think outside the box.

    Content requires so much of that. Thinking of new ways to convey your message, sell your products and attract new customers to your business. I have found that the more I immerse myself into doing new things, reading new things and thinking beyond my current state it allow me to come up with fresh ideas that ultimately reach new people.

    It’s important to make reading a part of your self improvement routine and I recommend it to everyone. Choose one book for content creators a month and apply the knowledge you learn and you will see yourself get a little bit better every month.

    Consistency in all things!! It’s the one thing t Consistency in all things!! It’s the one thing that’s helped me build a business with the freedom to live the life I love. But for some reason I haven’t gotten it right with my fitness.

I will start, do good for 2 weeks and be back to my snacking sedentary ways. 

But I saw a picture of myself a few weeks ago and was like: “oh no ma’am! Get it together”

So I’ve been applying my discipline in business to get back fine. And I expect nothing less than that.

Here’s to me starting again, back at the beginning, pursuing the body I want!

A few years ago I was tired of corporate so I left banking to teach. Eventually that became unfulfilling too so I finally took the leap to do what I really wanted to do....be at home with my kids and build my blog.

It was risky, a bit scary but I knew I would make it work!

I have had some amazing opportunities, worked with my favorite brands, and attended some awesome events...and I’m just getting started!

If you have a goal, pursue it! Wholeheartedly.
