    Really good (but obscure) business books?

    HOT! 
    I'm sorry you lack the necessary time management and/or reading speed to both read books and work on your business. 30 minutes a day can easily add up to one book a week. Little less netflix, little more reading.

    Cold Calling vs Cold Emailing

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Depending on what you're selling and the industry you're in, something that works even better than cold calls and cold email is direct mail sent through the postal service.
