Can one book change the way you run your business? Or is it what you do with the lessons that really counts?
In this episode of Work Together, Worlds Apart, Lee and Mike share some of their favourite business books and the lessons that have shaped the way they think, work and grow their businesses.
From the importance of building a business that doesn't rely entirely on you to understanding which customers are worth investing your time in, the conversation explores the ideas that can help business owners work smarter, create better systems and focus on sustainable growth.
The main focus is on two business classics: The E-Myth by Michael Gerber, which challenges business owners to stop working solely in their business and start working on it, and The Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michalowicz, which explores how focusing on your best customers can help you grow a stronger, more profitable business.
Lee and Mike also discuss Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy and Revenue Growth Engine by Darrell Amy, alongside the challenge of finding time to learn when you're busy running a business. They reflect on the pressure to put on a confident front at networking events, the wins and struggles of the week, and why the right book often depends on the stage of business you're in.
They also share a practical tip for anyone short on time: using Blinkist to get the key ideas from books in bite sized summaries.
