22 Books Every Newbie Mom Entrepreneur Should Read

by Britt Michaelian

There are certain choices you can make as a mom and an entrepreneur that will really move you ahead of the crowd and other decisions that will set you back significantly.  If you want to accelerate your growth rate, there is a simple solution: pick up a book regularly.  Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t read every single night, but 5 nights a week for 15 minutes will get you through at least 7 books listed below within a few months.  I guarantee it will be worth your time. The must-reads are in bold, the titles are listed in random order but these are all great books for mom business owners.

I have read (or at least skimmed) all of the books listed below and found a significant amount of value in each.  Experience has taught me that it is good form to know details about the books that people talk about.  Every book on this list has come up in conversation at least once in my networking history.  So, consider this your social studies lesson for the day.  :)

**BTW, none of these links below are affiliate links and I am in no way being compensated or requested to list these books.  That said, I recommend clicking on the link of whatever book calls loudest to you and either checking it out of the library or adding it to your entrepreneurial book collection today.  Enjoy!
