I’m a massive fan of business books and podcasts. During the first lockdown I listened to global bestseller Building a Storybrand<\/i><\/a> by Donald Miller while painting the house.

Over the summer I’m really looking forward to a few books that have been on my radar for a while, usually because I’ve listened to Dominic Monkhouse interview them on his terrific business podcast The Melting Pot.<\/a><\/p>\n

Better Before Bigger: Rethinking Business Success<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

By Nick Cramp\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I love Nick’s business name and philosophy “Flucture” meaning how entrepreneurial business need to be both flexible and structured at the same time – and also love the book title. This one is all about improving your business and your relationship with it. Something many business owners could benefit from I suspect! <\/p>\n

The Three Alarms: A Simple System to Transform your Health, Wealth & Relationships Forever<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

By Eric Partaker<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

This year has thrown so much into the air and given us all a chance to rethink how we allocate our time and energy. When I listened to The Melting Pot podcast interview<\/a> with Eric, I really liked the simplicity. Eric advised CEOs through his role at McKinsey for many years, helped build Skype and has founded several businesses – some of which we now work with. <\/p>\n

Fix This Next<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

By Mike Michalowicz\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Really liked Mike’s earlier book Profit First<\/i><\/a>, which is all about making profit a habit (also a great Melting Pot interview<\/a>). So I thought I’d listen to his latest book on instantly pinpointing what you need to do next for your business. As the MD of a scale-up business, taking a moment to (re)assess priorities is always helpful.<\/p>\n
