Books & People Are Great Change Catalysts
🎧 We've been enjoying listening to an audiobook "Three Feet From Gold" by Greg Reid & Sharon Lechter. It's a modern day version of Napoleon Hill's classic "Think And Grow Rich" written to share the wisdom he acquired after interviewing the most successful business people in the United States ~100 years ago now.
