5 Must-Read Books If You’re In The “Messy Middle” Stage of Business

The Category Queen Show

Whenever I find myself in the midst of a major season of unknown or transformative change, turning to books has always been my solace.

Unlike seeking advice from others which can muddy my perspective, absorbing wisdom from written words allows me to create deeper self-trust. Interpreting the carefully crafted phrases within the pages in front of me empowers me to rebuild confidence in my own intuition versus looking externally for someone else to dictate my path forward.

In this episode, I'm sharing the top 5 transformational books that have had the biggest impact on me in seasons of uncertainty or misalignment. These are the powerful reads that have gently guided me out of my darkest periods of feeling lost or adrift.

Whether you’re looking to reclaim your sense of identity, rediscover your fortitude, or bravely forge ahead on your entrepreneurial path with renewed passion, I’m confident these books will support you.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of self-awareness and how to become more conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how to release the habitual mind’s grip and reclaim your authentic self.
• How to embrace emotional resilience and navigate the inevitable storms of life and business, while still supporting yourself along the way.
• Unpacking the key elements of transformation; what to be aware of and avoid as you become a bolder version of yourself, allowing your big, audacious dreams to come alive.
