Motivational Books


Today’s world moves quickly. There are some who feel overwhelmed by the constant pressure to keep up, or afraid to take risks that might set them back further. And yet, there are others who have a deep inner knowing that regardless of external circumstances, they can always navigate themselves back to a place of stability and satisfaction.

Discover your confidence, learn to trust yourself deeply, and step out boldly into a happier, more fulfilled, and successful life with help from this motivational guided journal.

That inner knowing is confidence. When we have that kind of confidence in ourselves, we can weather any storm in our professional or personal lives and know that we’ll come through better and stronger on the other side. Trusting our skills and abilities, we move toward opportunities rather than waiting for everything to align perfectly.

Plan to be your own advocate, create opportunities for yourself, and persevere when the process gets difficult.

The Confidence Plan takes you on a journey toward heightened self-confidence. Through the principles, tools, techniques, journaling questions, and exercises contained in the book, you will do the work necessary to build confidence in yourself and your ability to achieve your goals.

This step-by-step guide will show you how to:

  • Mastering the fundamental skills of confidence so that you have a deeply rooted internal resilience that can withstand adversity
  • Learning to embrace your fears and act anyway
  • Quitting the comparison game and tuning out harmful noise
  • Investing in yourself, setting boundaries, and creating realistic goals
  • Building your network by learning to connect with people authentically
  • Celebrating the ways that you show up for yourself and for others

30 Days to Sales Success - Sales and Leadership Books by Sales Expert Meridith Elliott Powell

30 Days to Sales Success: Build More Profitable Relationships, Close More Sales, Drive More Business

Available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats

Sales and Leadership Books


In only one month, you can acquire the skills, tools, and techniques that will help you turn more prospects into loyal customers, increase your sales, and derive greater enjoyment from the experience.

Organized into daily lessons on critical sales strategies, 30 Days to Sales Success is your roadmap to making sales more comfortable, more fulfilling, and more rewarding. Regardless of what you are selling—a product, a service, an idea, or a new direction—you have to understand the value of your offering and share it in a way that convinces people to participate.

However, much of the advice from sales and leadership books today centers on the salesperson, not the customer, and entails aggressive cold-calling and upselling techniques. It’s no wonder so many people dislike selling…and why so many people dislike being sold to. Luckily, there is another way—a path to customer-oriented sales, with a focus on value, service, and long-term relationships.

“Between the specific action steps and the simplicity of Meridith’s ideas, I found myself eager to try what I learned in this benefit-rich book. I gained ideas for my business in almost every chapter and have been effortlessly taking new steps forward with my sales process.”

Misti Burmeister

CEO, Inspirion, Inc.
