But I have dropped the ball a bit this year.
Reading these books provide me with not only new and inspiring ideas I can implement in my own small business; but ideas I can share with my small business coaching clients, presentation audiences and social media/email community.
Some books I buy or receive from wonderful people, others I get from my local public library because my house is full of books and I'm running out of room π.
As always, there's at least one nugget I get from every book so here's the small business books I read in 2024 and recommendations for your 2025 Reading List.
