We’re living through an extraordinary period of technological change.
Think about how much has happened within just a few decades.
Not so long ago, personal computers were relatively unusual, mobile phones were enormous, and the idea of running a business from a laptop in your living room would have seemed rather far-fetched.
In my previous two articles, I shared how Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill influenced the way I began thinking about work, money, opportunity and what might be possible in life.
But there was a third book that introduced me to something equally important.
Leadership.
The book was Developing the Leader Within You by John C. Maxwell.
Now, you might be wondering what leadership has to do with starting an online business, developing new skills or simply wanting to create a different future for yourself.
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Not long ago, I wrote about a book that had a big influence on the way I began thinking about work, money and entrepreneurship: Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad.
But there was another book that came along and challenged my thinking in a different way.
Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.
I’ll admit something.
When I first heard the title, I thought it sounded a little cheesy.
Think your way to becoming rich? Yeah, right!
