3 Books That Rewired My Brain—and My Business: How Mindset Fuels Sustainable 7-Figure Growth

If you’re like most of the brilliant women I work with, you already know that mindset matters. But let’s be honest—when you're running a six-figure business and trying to scale to seven, the last thing you have time for is reading theory-heavy books that leave you with zero actionable steps.

That’s why in this post, I’m sharing the three books that have genuinely transformed not just how I think—but how I lead, scale, and show up in my business.

No fluff. No “just be positive” mantras. Just powerful tools that rewired my brain, unlocked deeper clarity, and helped me build a 7-figure business that feels aligned.

And if you're scaling from $250K to $1M+ and want a proven, practical path to implement what you're learning, keep reading—because I’ll show you how these insights are integrated inside my coaching program, Align to Rise.

📚 Book #1: Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty

At first, I thought this book was going to be too fluffy. But it turned out to be a masterclass in purpose-driven performance—something every woman scaling to 7 figures needs more of.

Biggest breakthrough?

Detachment.

Jay helped me see how obsessing over outcomes was actually derailing my growth. When I detached from the fear of failure and started focusing on service, launches became easier, decisions clearer, and growth more consistent.

Inside Align to Rise, I teach this through our Winter phase—your strategic hibernation. That’s when we pause, reflect, and rewire before your next expansion.

My top business takeaways:

• Your mind is your most powerful business tool.

• Breathwork and mindfulness aren’t optional—they’re how you stay calm during chaos.

• Spot, stop, swap: A simple mindset reframe that changed how I process fear and doubt.

This book helped me align my business with purpose. And when purpose drives strategy? You build a brand that actually lasts.

📚 Book #2: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks

This one cracked me wide open. Hendricks introduces the Upper Limit Problem—how we subconsciously sabotage our own success just as we’re about to expand.

I realised I was holding myself back from raising my prices because I was afraid of being “too much.” Sound familiar?

But the truth? When I finally owned my value and raised my prices, my clients got even better results. Why? Because they showed up more powerfully too.

This book gave me:

• Permission to expand without guilt.

• A framework for naming (and disrupting) self-sabotage cycles.

• Deeper emotional intelligence as a leader, partner, and mother.

Inside Align to Rise, we bring this to life in the Autumn phase—where we integrate lessons, dissolve old patterns, and optimise your growth from the inside out.

📚 Book #3: The Source by Dr. Tara Swart

This book made Neuroscience sexy.

I’ve visualised for years—but The Source helped me understand why it works, and how to apply it in a way that actually shifts your reality. Tara merges science and soul so beautifully.

What changed for me?

• I created a measurable vision board, placed it in my bedroom, and saw results within months.

• I learned the brain science behind limiting beliefs—and how to rewire them.

• I finally understood that mindset isn't separate from strategy—it is the foundation.

This is the work we do in Align to Rise during the Spring and Summer phases. We create energetic alignment and operational excellence so you’re scaling with clarity—not chaos.

💬 Client Story: From Imposter Syndrome to 2x Revenue

One of my clients—scaling past $1M—was terrified to raise her prices. She’d read the books, done the courses, had the credentials... but still felt like an imposter.

After integrating the mindset shifts above, she:
✅ Increased her prices by 40% (with zero client drop-off)
✅ Doubled her revenue in six months
✅ Built the confidence to launch a high-ticket group offer

Because when your inner world expands, your outer results can’t help but follow.

💡 How to Implement These Mindset Shifts

If you’re ready to go beyond knowing and actually start integrating, here are 3 ways to begin today:

✅ Morning Mindset Ritual: Visualise your next-level success before checking your emails. (Seriously, 5 mins a day.)

✅ Strategic Detachment: Make one key decision this week without fear. Step back. Lead with clarity.

✅ Upper Limit Check-In: Where are you playing small right now? Journal it. Name it. Reclaim your power.

And if you want structured support to turn this into sustainable seven-figure success? That’s where Align to Rise comes in.

💫 Final Thoughts: Reading Isn’t Enough—Rewiring Is the Real Work

You can read every book on business and still feel stuck if you don’t address the mindset and energy driving your decisions.

Scaling from 6 to 7 figures isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what aligns—with your vision, your energy, and your genius.

If you’re ready to rewire your brain, refine your strategy, and rise into the seven-figure version of yourself…
