It’s time to simplify your learning, motivation and entertainment with Audible!
Audible allows you to download audiobooks to your smartphone or other device and listen anytime, anywhere.
As a business owner, you have to be devoted to learning. Whether it’s new technology that will save you time, new marketing trends that you need to focus on, or new products or services that will help you and your customers . . . you should always strive to learn. And, often you just need a little motivation or entertainment. I found all of this . . . learning, motivation and entertainment . . . all in one place: Audible by Amazon. Audible allows you to download audiobooks to your smartphone or other device and listen anytime, anywhere.
I’m not really sure how I stumbled across Audible, but I’m glad I did. I love to read but, like most business owners, it’s hard to find the time. Plus, I’m always striving to use my time wisely. Since discovering Audible a few months ago, I now “read” daily. My favorite places to “read” are in the bathroom while getting ready in the morning, in the car while commuting to and from work, and while at the gym working out. It makes my time seem to pass faster AND I’m consuming information that is valuable to me.
The SIX REASONS I love Audible, include:
1. HUGE SELECTION
Audible has an amazing selection of books in every genre. I’ve mainly been downloading business and motivational books, but I’m sure I’ll eventually enjoy books simply for entertainment purposes!
2. REASONABLE PRICE
The monthly membership is currently only $14.99 which includes 1 credit each month that can be used to download any book, regardless of price. So, the membership certainly pays for itself. The books range in price and you can purchase confidently because they have a “no-questions-asked” return policy making exchanges easy.
3. THE APP
The Audible App is easy to search. It also makes recommendations based on your purchase history. These suggestions are a great way to discover new books and authors. You can also listen to a sample of each book before selecting it. I like listening to the samples for one main reason . . . I want to make sure I like the narrator’s voice. I have downloaded one book that was hard to get through because the narrator was so boring to listen to. So, now I always listen to the samples first.
4. CONNECTIVITY
Audible connects to my car’s Bluetooth system so I can hear the books through the speakers in my car. This is so much better than trying to turn up my phone’s speaker loud enough and position it in a good place to hear it well. In addition to your smartphone, you can also use Audible through your tablet and home audio equipment, such as Fire and Alexa-enabled devices. And, if you switch devices you will not lose your place in the book you’re listening too. Pretty cool, huh!?!?
5. EFFICIENT USE OF MY TIME
As I already mentioned, it’s hard to find time to read a book. However, we all have time that we can listen to a book . . . in the car, in the gym, while doing household chores, while going for a walk, when getting ready for work, etc. And, it can make all of these times more enjoyable.
6. FREE TRIAL
Audible has a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL that includes 2 free audiobooks. Why not give it a try? CLICK HERE TO TRY AUDIBLE AND GET YOUR FREE AUDIOBOOKS.

Crush It: Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion
by Gary Vaynerchuk
This book was published in 2009 and the audiobook released in 2010. Gary is very inspiring and has embraced technology, especially Social Media, like no other! He’s all about working hard and making no excuses. His work ethic and encouraging ways make this worth the listen.
Crushing It: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence and How You Can Too by Gary Vaynerchuk
Released in 2018, this is the follow-up to Crush It and contains real stories about people who read Crush It and how they used what they learned. It also contains even more inspiration, experiences and ideas from Gary. I’m currently listening to it for the 3rd time and each time I discover new things that “click” with me.
How to Win at the Sport of Business by Mark Cuban
Mark Cuban is best known for his appearances on the t.v. show Shark Tank and for being the owner for the NBA team, the Mavericks. In this book, he tells his own rags-to-riches story and shares his struggles and successes.
Kick Ass with Mel Robbins by Mel Robbins
This audiobook is comprised of private coaching sessions with Mel, a motivational speaker, and people who simply want more out of life. This book is both entertaining and inspiring. Caution: Adult content/language.
I hope you end up loving Audible as much as I do. It’s important to find time to learn, stay motivated and be entertained . . . all things you can do through Audible.
