Knowledge is power in the world of entrepreneurship. The perfect book may be a source of light, providing insights, solutions, and inspiration from those who have gone before. This handpicked list includes five books that have become essential reading for many successful businesses. Each one provides a distinct viewpoint on essential aspects of entrepreneurship, ranging from vision and strategy to leadership and creativity. Let’s go through ‘The Entrepreneur’s Library’ and find the books that define success.
1. Rich Dad Poor Dad
It is a 1997 book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It advocates the importance of financial literacy (financial education), financial independence and building wealth through investing in assets, real estate investing, starting and owning businesses, as well as increasing one’s financial intelligence (financial IQ).
2. Think and Grow Rich
is a book written by Napoleon Hill and Rosa Lee Beeland released in 1937 and promoted as a personal development and self-improvement book. He claimed to be inspired by a suggestion from business magnate and later-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. However there is no evidence that the two ever met.
3. How to Win Friends and Influence People
It is a 1936 self-help book written by Dale Carnegie. Over 30 million copies have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time.
Carnegie had been conducting business education courses in New York since 1912. In 1934, Leon Shimkin, of the publishing firm Simon & Schuster, took one of Carnegie’s 14-week courses on human relations and public speaking, and later persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication .The initial five thousand copies of the book sold exceptionally well, going through 17 editions in its first year alone.
4.The Psychology of Money
In the Psychology of Money, Morgan Housel teaches you how to have a better relationship with money and to make smarter financial decisions. Instead of pretending that humans are ROI-optimizing machines, he shows you how your psychology can work for and against you.
5.Atomic Habits
Atomic Habits is the most comprehensive and practical guide to developing excellent habits, breaking bad ones, and improving by 1% every day. I don’t think it’s possible to find a more practical book on the subject of habits and self-improvement.
If you’re having problems changing your behaviors, it’s not your fault. The issue is with your system.
“Success is the product of daily habits — not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”
