If you need some inspiration and guidance, here are my favourite books on business, creativity and personal development. These are ones to read and re-visit whenever you need.

The Millionaire Messenger by Brendon Burchard has specifically helped me write my own book, and given me the courage and assurance to go for it! The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg helps you understand people and their behaviours, ie how to understand your customer better. This is also great as personal development. Creativity Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love), is a cornerstone book for how to access and use your creativity, and how to manage a creative lifestyle and mentality.
