Getting on the road to financial freedom isn’t all about money. Before you can make changes to your financial situation, you typically have to change the way you think about life in general. When it comes to changing any situation you’re in, the first place to start is with you! Books have a powerful way to help you change the way you look at things by helping you to develop new ideas and insight from the experience of others. The books I have listed here have had the most impact on me, so I thought I’d share them with you. This list is certainly not the be-all-end-all of books, but I do believe they are great books to build a foundation for not only financial success, but success in any area of life!

- Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude by W. Clement Stone & Napoleon Hill
Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude is a classic collaboration between millionaire CEO W. Clement Stone and motivational pioneer Napoleon Hill to form one of the most remarkable partnerships of all time, the result was, the phenomenon that proposed to the world that with the right attitude, anyone can achieve his or her dreams. Your mind has a secret invisible talisman. On one side is emblazoned the letters PMA (positive mental attitude) and on the other the letters NMA (negative mental attitude).

- The Power Of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
In The Power Of Intention, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has researched intention as a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place. Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. However, intention is viewed very differently in this book. This book explores intention—not as something you do—but as an energy you’re a part of. We’re all intended here through the invisible power of intention. This is the first book to look at intention as a field of energy that you can access to begin co-creating your life with the power of intention.
