“2021 is my year!” – said no one ever.

After the HECK of a year 2020 was, I get it. We’re all hesitant to expect too much from 2021, and are afraid that it will be the exact same as 2020… but guess what, friend… It won’t be the same. Want to know why??

Because if 2021 doesn’t change, you will.

That’s right. I’m calling you out. Enough waiting for external sources to push you, or motivate you, or fix everything for you! Yes, life sucks sometimes, but life is about more than focusing on what happens to you. Let’s focus on what you can do to have a great 2021.

This post is all about what books I read in 2020 that helped my mindset go from argh, to WEHOO!

It really is incredible what a simple 15 or 30 mins of reading a day can do to impact your life.

5 Books to Grow Yourself in 2021

1. Mindset by Carol Dweck

YOU HAVE TO READ IT. If you don’t want to read it for your own sake, read it for the sake of your team, your kids, or your employee’s. It’s a must.

Dweck teaches all about how you can control your mindset and go from a place of Fixed to Growth. This allows you to free yourself from perfectionism. I think we all need a little of that!

2. The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy

This was the first book to really kick start my personal growth journey, and create a sense of enjoyment in the process, not just hustling for results. I have read it multiple times and MAN OH MAN. Each time I read it, I still get something new out of it. Whether you’re looking to advance your business, lose weight, get your finances on track or create new habits, this book is sure to help!

3. The One Thing by Gary W. Keller and Jay Papasan

Wanna know if multitasking is actually beneficial? OR how to be the most productive and get the most done without adding hours to your work day? This is your book my friend! I gained so much knowledge on productivity. 10/10 recommend!

4. 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

EVERYONE needs to read this. Have you ever wondered why some people like hugs and others don’t? Did you ever think that if someone didn’t appreciate your gestures, it meant that they didn’t love you? Yea, same. This book helped me understand how different people give and receive love differently. It also taught me how to recognize my love language, and learn other love languages. Imagine how beautiful life would be if we all new how to properly love on each other?

5. Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth

This book is a doozy. It’s a long and informational one, but SO beneficial, much like Mindset. It’s all about Passion and Perseverance. AND also touches on good ol’ burnout. I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely experienced some burnout in my day. And learning how to identify it and avoid it before it happens is AMAZING!

So there you have it, 5 books to grow yourself in 2021 and to be sure that 2021, wont just be a continuation of 2020.
