🌟 Classics That Started My Journey

Some books just stand the test of time. These classics were the first ones that opened my eyes to personal growth, mindset shifts, and the idea that I could actually design a different kind of life. They may be “oldies,” but they’re truly gold when it comes to building a strong foundation.

• The Secret – Rhonda Byrne
• The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz

🔥 Books That Lit a Fire in Me

Sometimes you need more than inspiration—you need a spark that pushes you to actually take action. These books challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, think bigger, and go after goals I once thought were impossible.

• The Fire Starter Sessions – Danielle LaPorte
• I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons – Kevin Hart
• Black Privilege – Charlamagne Tha God

True Story: The Book “Black Privilege” was not only written by, but signed and personally handed to me by Charlamagne himself (in Washington Square Park in NYC) — it was a very impromptu meeting!

🎯 Focus & Results

Motivation is great, but without clarity and focus, it’s easy to spin your wheels. These books gave me practical strategies to cut through the noise, set priorities, and actually get things done while keeping my mindset strong.

• The ONE Thing – Gary Keller
• Pivot – Jenny Blake
• Unshakeable – Tony Robbins

True Story: After reading Jenny Blake’s Book “Pivot,” I booked a call to chat with her, and when she called, I had fallen asleep! So I frantically emailed her to tell her I missed her call. Thankfully, she was understanding and we were able to pick up where we left off (or never started lol)! So YES, I’ve talked with Jenny personally on the phone!

True Story: The book Unshakeable by Tony Robbins was a gift from him for attending one of his events.

✍️ Ready to Grow Your Mindset?

Each of these books has the power to shift the way you think, but the real growth happens when you apply what you’re learning. One of the best ways I’ve found to do that is through journaling. As you read, take notes on what stands out, how your perspective shifts, and any ideas you want to try in your own life.

👉 If you’re looking for a place to start, I’ve linked a few of my favorite journals and tools [here] to help you track your mindset changes along the way.

Your next breakthrough might just be one page—and one journal entry—away. 🌟
