Hello Reader, I hope you had an amazing Christmas, and wishing you well for the new year that’s imminently upon us. Now, I always have and always will be a massive fan of reading. The knowledge you can gain from a properly good book is simply brilliant. As we close out 2024, I wanted to share some of the most impactful books I read this year and the lessons I took from each one. Now, apart from these books being packed with insights that helped me shape how I approach business, mindset, and growth… They’re also really enjoyable to read. So here’s the list, plus my key takeaway from each: These books taught me so much this year, and I hope they inspire you as well. Oh, and if you’ve read any of these or have a recommendation for 2025, hit reply and let me know. Here’s to growing stronger, smarter, and more resilient together in the year ahead!

I got my big jotter pad out and did a circle in the middle saying ‘2025 goals’. There were at least 8 of them, maybe 9. I had good intentions, I really did, but this approach was flawed, and I should have...
Hello Reader, Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had the chance to rest, reflect, and maybe even think about what you’d really like 2026 to look like.
