At some point you may not understand the process to go through for the most important projects, or you cannot determine what you should do to start all of the things that you wish to start. For that reason, I think this book is one that every small business owner should, at some point, read.
Anne Taylor’s book comes well recommended, having won its category in the Business Book Awards for business self-development books in 2021.The book outlines 10 principles in four areas: Inside (about you, the leader); Outside (about others); Between (about where they overlap); and Beyond (about your whole life). Through applying the principles within its pages, you will be able to become a reasonable leadership Practitioner.
I think Deep Work is one of those books which is really talking about a single idea, but breaks it down into what actually proves to be quite complex and interesting elements of neuroscience – why we get distracted, what we can do about distractions and so on.
Poke the Box is described as a manifesto about “starting” by making commitments and making things happen. When I work with businesses sometimes they don’t start, they are waiting – for things to be perfect, waiting for the opportunity to be clearer, waiting for demand for product to arrive.
Sometimes we have to develop the product and then create the demand that it deserves.
Typically, it’s on the first Thursday of each month that we discuss the book we read in the previous month. These discussions are online and available to all Bookclub members. Even if you haven’t read the book members are welcome to listen to the discussion and learn what other readers took away from the book.
During each month there will be discussions about the featured book in our private facebook group, and other conversations between members.
