Great Reading to Build Your
Business
There are many resources available which will help
you define areas you need to develop as a business person. The
mistake many people make is only studying resources directly related to
their field. I have listed below some of my favorite authors and
some highlights I received to make me a more effective leader in my
home-based business:
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich
Dad, Poor Dad series. No doubt you have heard of
Robert. His books did more for me than any other single
resource. The first book I read was Retire Young, Retire
Rich followed by the original book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The most
important thing I learned was how to buy assets to put money in
my pocket. This information led to me to understand how Bulk Vending
Machines could profit me even while I still had a full-time job. We
also bought and sold several key pieces of real estate that added greatly
to our net worth. Our net worth tripled over about a 3 year
period.
John Maxwell, Author of the 21
Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. John is a powerful
teacher of leadership principles. The 21 Laws book is his best work
in my opinion. He also has books and materials on dealing and
working with people. This is a must if you are going to have a great
business for the long term. I highly recommend his materials.
He also has a monthly audio coaching program which is very
good.
Brian Tracy, motivational speaker and
author. Brian has written several books which have helped
me define different areas I have needed to work on. Some of the
titles I've personally read and recommend are: Million Dollar
Habits, Change Your Thinking Change Your Life, Absolutely
Unbreakable Laws of Business Success, Goals!, Focal Point,
and The Psychology of Selling.
In selecting books to
build you as a person, I recommend several things to help you: One,
visit bookstores often and spend quality time reading through books before
you purchase it. Grab an espresso to make your experience
better! Two, pay attention to what books / materials you quickly
connect with. It's a clue which tells you that information is
needed. Three, consider Audio books. I learned the most with
this resource. Most of the Rich Dad series were purchased on
audio. Four, turn your car into a school of leadership. Let
your commutes become times of learning how to do business and increase
your bottom line.
In a later article, I will detail more authors
that have greatly influenced me to be a better person and leader in the
area of business so check back soon.
