Episode 54: Seven Audio Books that have helped me as a Delivery Independent Contractor Deliver on Your Business

Maybe the greatest, most pleasant surprise that I've encountered with this delivery gig is the time. I used to see my delivery time as taking away time from other things. I'm coming to realize that the time spent driving to places is a time where I can learn, develop, and grow. One of the biggest ways I can do this is with podcasts and audio books.

This week I am focusing on audio books that have made a difference to me. These books are not about deivery or about being an independent contractor. They are more about creating a mindset that decides to take control of my life and to strive for greater things.

Each week we have an associated blog post on the website - it's not a full transcript but close enough.

I mentioned an article I found that talks about alternatives to Audible.

Full disclosure - all links to Audible or Amazon are affiliate links. That means that I get a small commission if you buy anything. That commission helps offset the cost of running this podcast and the EntreCourier website.

If you want to try any of these, you can do it on Audible or on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. The main difference is with Audible you own the books, the Kindle service is more like renting them. Both offer a 30 day free trial. With the Audible service, it's like getting your first book

These are not the best books by any means. But they are books that made a tremendous impact on me, and I hope they might for you. The books that I suggest are as follows:

19:07 - Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey
20:53 - Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey
22:53 - Start with Why by Simon Sinek
24:48 - Your Best Year Ever by Michael Hyatt
26:35 - Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk
29:49 - 48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller
32:15 - The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss
