My mentors have mainly been books. When I began my own brand building journey, I looked first towards available books on branding only to find out that there weren’t any written specifically for my own challenges.
That was the reason why, among many other reasons, I wrote my book How Do You Want to BE SEEN.
At the end of the book, I share a list of recommended books. While I do realise that it is an eclectic mix of books, they helped me shape my own branding message and my outlook on life. Grand yes? After all, it’s all down to what kind of meaning we give to each and every piece of information we come into contact with.
With that, I’ll let you peruse these titles —download sample chapters and see if any of them tickles your fancy—and let me know if you end up reading any of them.
