Below are business tools/resources that I personally use in my business.

Recommended Reading

Over the years I have read many books that have changed the direction of my life. Here are a few of them, not in any particular order. Personally, I feel it is critical that I continue to expand not only my knowledge base, but also learn to let go of the mind to embrace the spirit. I’d say those are my two favorite subjects (mind & spirit) and most of these books reflect this desire to grow in these areas.
