Welcome to my library, when people ask me for business advice my number 1 suggestion is to read, read and read some more. That’s why I’ve decided to put together a library of all the books I’ve read and have helped me lead a more extraordinary life and grow my business in amazing ways. These books will change your life and for your convenience I’ve added quick little explanations of each and grouped them in categories so you can find what you need easily. Also if you have any book suggestions that have rocked your world please tell me about it in the comments below!

Getting Things Done. A kind of hard book to swallow, but once you get through it you’ll be 100 times more organized and you’ll have the frame work that will help you get anything done, no matter how big, in the future.

Crush It. An easy, fun read that will get you pumped and excited about entrepreneurship, blogging and internet business. If you want something to give you good entrepreneurial dreams read this one before bed and wake up jazzed & ready to tackle the world.

I Will Teach You to Be Rich. This book is a fun & funky planner of sorts for anyone who wants to grab control of their finances and cut out all the extra crap we tend to spend money on. It’ll help you get better organized and have a far healthier view of your finances and how to go about getting rich the right way.

Start with Why. I absolutely adore the premise behind this “business” book that doesn’t read like one. It’s simple, the author wants us to start each business or brand with a firm idea of WHY and once he explains the why behind starting with why it’ll rock your world & you may never look at business the same again.

How to Be Rich & Happy. The guys behind this book are true inspirations, I have talked with both of them at length (they were even interviewed on the podcast) and their passion for teaching people how to become rich & happy is overwhelming. This book will lift your spirits and show you a holistic approach to gaining wealth while most importantly pursuing true happiness. It was transformational to me and I am sure will do the same for you.

How to Win Friends & Influence People. An epic classic that will teach you how to network beautifully and become a respected influencer and friend of many. One of the true greats that entrepreneurs throughout the last century have pointed to as an inspiration for their success, a must read.

The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur. Geared more for a newbie, but still a good book to read. It’s an easy reader and is full of simple, applicable tips & tricks for the boostrapped entrepreneur.

Unleashing the Ideavirus. One of many Seth Godin classics, this book explains in detail how to create an idea virus that will sweep through your market with amazing results. It focuses on creating something amazing and allowing it’s very nature to market itself and I think is a brilliant read for any entrepreneur looking to do great things.

The Snowball. I adore this book, partly because I love Warren Buffett and partly because reading the story of one of the greatest investors/businessmen in the world is incredibly inspirational. If you aren’t afraid of a very big book and lots of detail than you’ll get a great story and a plethora of entrepreneurial lessons from reading The Snowball.

Stumbling On Happiness. This book won’t be for most of you, it’s a incredibly witty yet refined look at what truly makes us happy. It’s a bit cerebral and at times reads like a satirical psychology text book but I loved it nonetheless. I think the fact that this book isn’t a simple read actually gives it more bearing because the few that really digest what is said will be all the wiser, and happier, for it.

The E Myth. Another classic that when I interview successful entrepreneur’s of our time they always point back to. That alone should make you run out and pick up this book, I’ve read it 4 times and always get something more from it. It goes over starting and running a successful business as a whole and helps debunks myths that will keep you struggling and instead points you on a path that once understood will change your life.

The Magic of Thinking Big. Truly lives up to it’s name. It will help you soar to new heights and embolden you to try for things you’d before thought to grandiose.

Love is the Killer App. A touching book that combines human interest, compassion and even love with the business world in a way few others could ever touch. I strongly encourage every business owner to read this book and pass it along.

Think and Grow Rich. One of the ultimate classics for entrepreneurs and those who want to lead extraordinary lives. Before The Secret, before any of the new age “act as if” there was Think and Grow Rich and it is a book that no true entrepreneur should go without.

No B.S. Success in the New Economy. I love Dan Kennedy, he’s witty, brazen and more over a damn good businessman. His books are fun to read and packed full of business savvy from a man whose actually been there and done that. Perfect to kickstart your entrepreneurial engine or if your in the middle of a business and need stellar tips that will give you an edge.

The Four Hour Work Week. I almost didn’t put this one, mostly because it’s been so over done in the last year, but it was one of the first books that really got the wheels turning for me. If you are new to this, I think this is an incredible read and if you’ve been in business several years read it over and focus on the best parts about lifestyle design and adapting that take on the world attitude.

The Ultimate Marketing Plan. If you need help in positioning your product and creating a buzz online, then this book is definitely a must-read. You’ll be able to find your unique selling proposition and deliver it to the right prospects. Read on and benefit from the easy step-by-step system that has likewise helped more than 5 million business owners!

The 80/20 Principle. Vilfredo Pareto observed that the distribution of wealth was predictably unbalanced. Now, Richard Koch takes on a fresh view of the 80/20 principle bringing it to almost every aspect of modern life. So whether you’re investing in stocks or even going through your daily routine, you’ll be able to see that practically 80 percent of what you do may not count much. Koch will help you identify that 20 percent and show you how you can get more out of your business and your life.

Buyology. If you are an entrepreneur or marketer who wants to know how the consumer brain works, Buyology is the book for you. Lindstrom will bring you to a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our decision making. It is indeed a ‘page-turner’ book written like a novel that makes you want to read from start to finish.

This book will definitely guide you how to tap your hidden talents and develop a right mindset. And hopefully, you can duplicate how more than 200 people and companies have successfully used these techniques.

Tribes. Remember how Obama journeyed to the Presidency? It was because groups of people believed in him and was able to give him the highest seat in the land. These groups, as referred to by the book, is called a tribe – a group of people connected to each other, to a leader and to an idea. Godin argues that substantive change can be best effected by a tribe. Innovators find similarly minded individuals and get the tribe excited by a new product, service or message.

Delivery Happiness. Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, shares the different business lessons he personally experienced in life. He shows how happiness can be the ultimate root to produce profit, passion and purpose both in business and in life.

The Dip. This fun little book will inspire you to know just when to hold on or when to let go. No matter who you are, The Dip will help you figure out if you’re in a ‘dip’ that is worthy of your time and effort. If you are, this will inspire you to hang tough; otherwise, it will help you find the courage to quit – so you could succeed at something else.
