Years ago before I started a family, I used to read books all the time. I would spend hours wondering the shelves of my local bookstore choosing an eclectic collection of good reads to enjoy over the summer months. As my life has changed over the years, the time for reading my types of books in peace has dwindled to sporadic I-canât-remember-the-last-part-I-read-so-I-have-to-start-over-again.
To actively and effectively work on my life balance, I have decided to make an effort to dedicated some time and read at least one book a month. I obviously love themes that center around women empowerment and independence, so I found (by recommendation), some great business books themed for the female entrepreneur. Whether you are working or stay at home wife or mom, these books will make you feel that you can take on the world and maybe inspire you to take a leap of faith and start a business of your own.

- those seeking the courage to jump into a new venture
