Harry Truman said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” I don’t know that I’ve ever wanted to be a leader, but I’ve always wanted to excel. Believe me, I’ve bought A LOT of books and apps that didn’t turn out to be what I thought, even if they were highly touted.

This is my Read-to-Lead Resource Guide, a personal list of top books, podcasts, and apps.

Whether it’s business, personal development, marketing, writing, or podcasts, this is my personal go-to list. To get my Read-to-Lead Resource Guide, subscribe via email on the sidebar.

The game-changer:  a personal growth plan.

I’ve always been a reader and learner. The game-changer was forming a personal growth plan. None of these tools and resources work without a process of consuming, digesting, and applying them. So I started to blog. I started to teach. I wove what I learned into conversations with my wife, friends, colleagues, clients, heck–even my dogs.

All this has helped me excel as chief marketing officer of an expanding educational company, grow my consulting practice for small business & nonprofits, and more than double profits. I’m truly amazed at the opportunities that personal growth has given me.

This list is a helpful place to start taking control of your growth and ultimately your life. If you have any questions on what I’ve listed or how I used them, email me at mike@mikekim.tv.

(FYI: everything listed is stuff I’ve personally used within the past year. No paid advertising here.)
