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.

First off, forget them people! Respectfully… Bu First off, forget them people! Respectfully…

But, I get it!  Most times we lack confidence worrying about other people’s opinion on this or that, but… 

- Stop trying to prove people wrong and prove yourself right! This is about you. You overcoming your fears. You finding the audacity to be great. You pursuing YOUR best life.

- Surround yourself with people that pour into you. Having the right support system is essential. It helps you ignore the noise around you. Join an online group, meetup with positive people local to you.

- Figure out the area you lack confidence in and build yourself up in that area.

- Feel the fear and do it anyway! You gotta just push through. Keep working. Keep showing up. Keep building.

Save this post and reference it when you feel self doubt creeping in.

It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a product It’s Monday and I’m prepared to have a productive week! 

Here are a few things I do to make sure the business and the babies are setup for success:

- Write down everything I need to get done this week on Sunday. I literally do a brain dump of all the things.

- Then I prioritize these things from most important to least! …because let’s be real I wanna do everything but there’s only so much time in the day 😂 

- Then I schedule the first 3 things in my planner for Monday. I like to see it here and put in Google calendar.

- I plan, shop, and prep all my meals for the week on Sunday too. Because who got time for “What y’all wanna eat?” everyday lol 

- Lastly I’m trying to make room for IG this week because that hasn’t been a priority. But @planoly is coming in clutch for me.

So I’m implementing the strategy: if you fail to plan, you plan to fail! And I’m planning to get it done this week!!!

Share this with an entrepreneur that could use it!
