This is a list of my top 6 best business books and why.
Many people believe that entrepreneurs are just born that way. Born to lead.
These skills can be learned from reading the right books and following the right people. Most of my mentors have never personally spoken to me. Some of my mentors are actually deceased. I have learned from these mentors by reading their books.
Each of these 5 best business books have all played a powerful role in the development of my entrepreneurial skills.
“Rich Dad Poor Dad” was the book that made me look at finances completely different. But it was “Cashflow Quadrant” that gave me the insight that forever changed my view of the world.
Once I realized the major difference between the 4 different quadrants, it was clear to me that being a “Business Owner” was the only choice for me. By “Business Owner”, Robert meant owner of a system that provides a steady positive cashflow.
The “4 Hour Work Week” was a great book that taught me how to cut out distractions and get done in 4 hours, what would normally take a whole week to accomplish. Tim is the King of Outsourcing and teaching you how to setup your business for complete autopilot. Highly suggested you read this as soon as you can.
“Think and Grow Rich” did a great job of getting my mental game together for the journey ahead of me. Successful people didn’t get that way on accident. They had a plan and knew what they wanted to go after.
“How to Win Friends and Influence People” taught me the skills of dealing with people and being a natural leader. Dale does a wonderful job of explaining his theory of human behavior and how to use your ability of communication to its fullest. Dealing with people correctly is one of the most valued skills to an entrepreneur.
“The Greatest Saleman in the World” is a wonderful book on sales. The way the book is setup is original and helps with the retention of the content. He split the book up into 30 days. You read a chapter a day and apply it to your life. I can’t really explain it, you just need to get it.
“You Call the Shots” is a book about how a young Cameron Johnson taking chances and reaping the rewards. Very motivational story.
Now that I told you my top 6 best business books, what are yours? Why do you like them so much? Share them in the comments section under this post. I look forward to seeing your responses.
