What’s on your e-reader?

“No mans education is ever finished.” Every successful entrepreneur is likely reading (or has read) something to further their business acumen – whether it be a trade journal, an online magazine, e-book or hard copy. One key theme in entrepreneurship & small business is … “there are many things to learn.”

Knowledge will become one of your most valuable assets.

I’m sure you’ve heard the adage, “Who you will become in the next five years is based on a) who you associate with and b) the books you read.” To that point, even in a time-crunched state we should make time to read more. Even if reading is not your cup of tea, purchase the audiobooks via iTunes.

Ultimately if I had to compile a ‘must-read’ book-list for startups it would consist of the following titles.

1. The Magic of Thinking Big

2. The Master Key to Riches

3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

4. Excuses Begone!: How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits
