We love sharing roundup posts that include powerful tips and resources that have been shared right here on EntrepreneurOnFire: the best advice from today's most successful and inspiring entrepreneurs.
Of course, reading an entire book takes time, and so when we do a roundup of 15 of the top business books recommended by today's top entrepreneurs, we know it might be a while before you're able to get through that list.
That's why I'm switching it up today and instead sharing a list of business books that you probably haven't heard of yet and that you can read in 15 minutes or less - plus, I'm going to share 3 of my own favorite business books that I'm absolutely obsessed with right now.

But I don't have experience doing anything, and I'm definitely not an expert...
Believe it or not, I hear this from A LOT of people, and every single time I do, I think back to when I was in Corporate America, saying something quite similar to myself: There's no way I could start my own business - I don't have experience or expertise in doing anything extraordinary - what would my business even "be about"?
In this episode I talk about what finding your experience and expertise actually looks like through sharing a story of how I found out about something I have experience doing (and also how I leverage it to help us grow our business here at EntrepreneurOnFire).

In this episode I talk about a major lesson learned from managing Podcasters' Paradise: Just because your community or members tell you they want something doesn't necessarily mean they are going to leverage and utilize it.
YOU have to be the judge of whether or not a specific project or program is worth the time you or your team are investing in it.

If your typical day includes trying to tackle a list of 15 plus to-do's, and you oftentimes find yourself working on 2 or more of these things at the same time, then I think we can both agree this system doesn’t work. Working on multiple things simultaneously just to check them off your list isn't productive at all. At least not in terms of creating meaningful content that actually serves a purpose. In this episode I share the 3 questions I ask myself every time I start working on a task or project to ensure it's going to make an impact for my audience and contribute to the growth of my business.
