Books for spiritual entrepreneurs can help you make a leap despite hurdles. Entrepreneurship often comes with uncertainties, doubt, or frustration. What do can you do when believing you can seems impossible? Read!
I have been an entrepreneur now for more than ten years. TEN! Sometimes it’s really hard to believe it. This February, I’ll be three years fully self-employed. Although I have always wanted to be self-employed, honestly, I was scared. Fear made me not take that leap. Fear told me I wouldn’t succeed, or that I was not equipped, and that I wouldn’t be able to earn the revenue needed to pay the bills and feed me and my THREE children.
I managed through the ups and the downs. Through surplus and setbacks. Through client cancelations to chasing down past due bills. I did it all by realizing that I create my future, that there is power in the words I am, and that my inner spirit guides me.
First, I had to learn to listen to it.
Being an entrepreneur is not only about managing a business or staying committed to your passion in the entrepreneurial world. It’s about believing in yourself and staying motivated.
There’s no doubt that we are not motivated ALL the time. We are humans who feel tired and stressed in our everyday endeavors to make sure that our homes, business, and personal lives are running efficiently. Sometimes our spirits are broken and we are hurt. Sometimes, we need to separate ourselves from the noise in our respective industries and to reset, relax, and recharge. Whether it’s for a 20-minute meditation, an hour at the gym, or a for a few days of vacation.
I read once that the best and most successful CEOs read every day. Since I already like to read, adding some reading to my daily routine was easy. I like to read books that opened my mind, heart, and spirit. They help me personally which helps my business. Tapping into my inner spirit allows me to reach my full potential. It helps me reduce stress, honor higher beings, and stay the course. I try to read daily even if it’s a few pages.
Reading can motivate or bring us some inspiration to bring back that spark that we first feel when we aspire to become an entrepreneur or when we get new projects or clients. And, being in business for yourself is a constant learning process. A good book provides different lessons or shares perspectives on staying motivated and challenging ourselves to keep going.
I keep my favorite books below close by. I have one on the plane when I travel or read in the morning or before I go to sleep. Undoubtedly, books have instilled values that I guide me to stay sane and become better each day. They have carried me through it all and hope that they will help you, too.

The Four Agreements
As one of my favorite books for spiritual entrepreneurs written by Don Miguel Ruiz, it has personally transformed my life in so many ways.
