Reading or listening to books is an awesome way to gain knowledge and understanding from others who have already been through what you’re trying to achieve. So naturally, understanding how to take control of your financial future and learning how to get your money to work for you is no different. Following the wisdom and guidance of others through their writing is a form of mentorship that you should take advantage of. It’s a way to get ideas you might not think of and avoid mistakes that they may have already made. The 3 books I listed here have been a great source of knowledge and inspiration for me which I thought I’d share with you. By no means are these books the only books I’ve read (or that you should read) on the subject, but I believe these particular books provide some of the essential building blocks for gaining financial intelligence and the necessary attitude needed for your journey to financial freedom!
