Books for Black female entrepreneurs 💸💎✨
I don’t believe in #girlboss. Being a woman in business isn’t always aesthetically pleasing or likable for an IG audience. Education is key in being successful in business and it’s important to mimick the behaviors of the people we want to be like. Millionaires read at least 60 books a year, so I’ve started reading more as I’m looking to make 8 figures before I die. I’ve put together a list of a few of my favorites to help other Black female entrepreneurs start their collection💸💎✨
💎always keep a notebook to take notes on the books you read to apply them to your business or your life💎
The Money Manual by Tonya B. Rapley- I love this book because it’s an easily digestable book on financial literacy written by a Black woman. You can not be successful in business if you don’t know how to handle your own personal finances. She discusses information such as credit, budgeting, achieving financial goals, and how to manage your money. This is the type of information that should be passed down to our children and their children so we too can have generational wealth and so we can be responsible with our money as a minority group.
Girl Code by Cara Alwill Leyba- I read this book two years before I even started my business or ordered my first inventory products. Immediately I learned that the emotions and feelings I had about starting my own business, navigating social media (especially Instagram) and other girls who were starting their businesses as well was NORMAL. Cara reminds us that as women, we are stronger when we work TOGETHER. Yes there is competition, but there are more women willing to support you than bring you down. She’s transparent about her own journey into entrepreneurship which was refreshing and honestly, this book is like having brunch with your mentor and you’re able to let your hair down and be honest about how you feel about taking your first steps into the business world. HIGHLY RECCOMEND 💎
Girl On Fire by Cara Alwill Leyba- Cara does it again, but this time she’s letting us know that it’s ok to be an individual as a business owner. Your brand is your own and if everyone is following the same blueprint, that leaves little to no room for originality. Again, Cara is real and honest about her journey and how following her own rules got her to her six figures. You will come to learn that Cara is like a mind reader even if she doesn’t know you personally. Before you launch or even while you’re still in the brainstorming phase, you have the same concerns and questions as many other women and she gets it. Excellent book to remind you that your ideas and your brand had purpose in this world and whatever you create may change someone’s life, but you have to take that leap.
The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz- This book focuses on mindset and as we all know, mindset is everything. All the background noise and self doubt is irrelevant. You want a million dollars? It’s yours! Claim it! This book is all about manifestation and law of attraction but explains it REALISTICALLY. It’s about marrying mindset with action, not just wishing on a star. It’s about stretching your reality beyond your wildest dreams and shifting your paradigm from a doubtful one to one that knows what you want and what you deserve.
Fabulosity by Kimora Lee Simmons- written by the ICON, Kimora Lee Simmons, she gives us a taste of where she’s been and explains how she used her beauty, grit and charisma to build her empire, because being the wife is Russell Simmons was just not enough. Kimora does not play about her brand and she drops gems about how she got the attention and buisiness deals she wanted to take Baby Phat and her career straight to the top and make history. She gives amazing advice on how you can use your own brand of Fabulosity to get the life you want abs make a name for yourself.
