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.
