Here it is!
You’ve asked me for my top 7 reading list for would be entrepreneurs, so here it is.
Reading is an invaluable asset when it comes to nonconformist lifestyling. I’m an avid fan of non-fiction materials. I feel a day wasted when I haven’t learned something, either through experience, reading, or online education.
There’s a multitude of relevant info out there, that you can grab for free or very little cost that will grant an exponential return on your investment in the form of dollars earned through your own business.
Start your education with the things your passionate about. Discover related topics, or areas of interest, then move on from there.
So now, without further ado, the top 7 reading list for would be entrepreneurs! (I admit, this list is the tell all secret to the information product business I’ve built in my free time.)
#1 How To Make Millions With Your Ideas by Dan Kennedy
An excellent guide to the many channels available for income generation, for would be entrepreneurs. A must read.
#2 Hypnotic Writing by Dr. Joe Vitale
This is a favorite Marketing resource of mine. It’s written using the principles Vitale teaches in the book. An easy, education and fun read.
You may remember Joe Vitale from, “The Secret”. Yup! Same dude.
#3 The Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss
Now here’s a very inspirational resource. It’s loaded with tips, contacts, websites, and other resources for lifestyle design. Tim Ferriss has done a masterful, well written job at compiling some of the best info out there on the subject of living the entrepreneurial lifestyle. Another must read for would be entrepreneurs.
#4 The Ultimate Guide To Google Adwords by Perry Marshall
If you’re going to begin a business of any sort, then PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising is a route you have to take. If you want to learn it from the ground up, then Perry Marshall is your expert. Perry is the master of PPC or Google advertising methods and strategies.
I’d suggest also, that you opt-in to his newsletter. It’s jam packed with content. You’ll learn a lot from him. This guy’s an old pro.
#5 Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill is the pioneer of success material. He was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to compile the success secrets of the country’s wealthiest men. What he discovered was astounding! All of those secrets are here in his writing. Yet another must read! I especially enjoyed his chapter on the benefits of leveraging your sexual energy. It might suggest the underlying cause of some of the motivational problems of our age.
#6 The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
Here’s a classic on wealth building and re-investment of resources. It’s in story form, taking place in the wealthiest city of Babylon. 2 poor men take off on a journey to discover how it is that their childhood friend has amassed so much friggin money! It’s a story about what their friend, the richest man in Babylon, teaches them. A very fun, educational, and inspirational read.
#7 7 Strategies for Wealth and Happiness by Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn is another master. He’s an expert on teaching focus, direct, goal setting, and principles of wealth building. This book is last is my list which follows no particular order, but he may as well be at the top. Jim Rohn is THE business philosopher of our time.
If you’re serious about creating a mobile lifestyle, living an unconventional life, creating businesses, or online businesses, building wealth to protect your future, create freedom of time, or enjoy the material things in life, then these books are cornerstones to your education.
Through them, you’ll discover a pretty kick-ass world of avant-garde millionaires, intellectuals, artists, entrepreneurs, psychologists, and philosophers. Right up the alley of the would be entrepreneur.
These authors are your tools for nonconformist education and success. Enjoy!
To your unconventional success!
