Whenever you wonder what new tool to use for your business, what TED talk to watch, or what book to read, just come to this page and get inspired! People often ask me to recommend stuff to them, so I’ve listed all the resources for business and personal growth that I’ve used and highly recommend below.
Note: Some of the links may be affiliate links, giving you special discounts and giving me a commission if you purchase. However, I only recommend resources that I and/or my clients use and absolutely love.
