Education breeds ambition: My top recommendations to maintain motivation as you pursue your goals.

The importance of education expands far beyond the classroom. Every day we have the opportunity to learn something new, whether from reading a book, listening to a podcast, or taking an online course. Finding sources of education and inspiration are essential when it comes to growing our knowledge and reaching our goals. 

Whether you have 15 minutes on your drive to work or an hour in the evening before bed, making time to educate yourself on topics related to your goals will lead to more motivation, ambition, and success in achieving them. 

To help you get started, I’ve compiled a list of my current favorite book and podcast recommendations.

Each book and podcast on this list will be beneficial for everyone. And education doesn’t only have to be reading or listening. You can learn from others—find encouragement and motivation from those you work with or are close to. And you can learn from doing; go out of your comfort zone and try honing a new skill. Be creative and make time for learning. You deserve it, and you will be better for it.
