Audible Books That Changed My Private Practice – SPP’s Weekend Top Picks

People are always asking me which books I’d recommend or am reading.

The reality is, the entrepreneurial life doesn’t leave as much time to read as we’d like, but an Audible subscription is GOLD if you value outside the box thinking and shaking up your mental snow globe.

For $7.95 – $14.95 per month, which is less than the cost of one hard copy book, you can’t beat it for cost and efficiency.

I usually have 5-10 books I’m bouncing back and forth between while I’m standing in bank lines, sitting on runways, and driving between offices.

Here are the ones that have made the biggest difference in scaling my company from just me to hundreds of employees, as well as making the Inc 5000 seven years in a row. I’ve included clickable thumbnails, as well as longer descriptions below.

Let me know in the comments if I’m missing any you’d recommend.

Also, be sure to check out our peer groups for practice owners if you’re looking for something more cost effective, more connected and more impactful than individual coaching and masterminds.
