    The 4-Hour Work Week showed me there are other options in life. Although some of the content within it should not be taken literally (i.e. total monthly income calculator, booking flights minutes before they take off, etc.) because of its rare ability to actually work out for you, its profoundly inspiring. Since I’ve read (and debunked) that book, the narrative of my life has changed for the better. My next read is Sun Tzu because entrepreneurial life demands intelligent decision making during arduous times – and its Gordon Gekko’s favorite.

    No, all these books are good with mostly case studies from other companies. I have read most. If you are going to build a business, I am going to self promote my business resource book. The 560 page book was created to provide entrepreneurs with the resources to make better business decisions.

    The book Shoestring Venture: The Startup Bible – currently number 1 on Amazon Kindle for Web Marketing, e-Commerce, Production & Operations.

    For a limited time, the Kindle version is .99, and the book has 13 – 5 star ratings, and 3 – 4 star ratings.

    'The Element' by Ken Robinson – for anyone really early on, wanting to change your career and do something entrepreneurial, but not yet having the confidence or the vision of what you might do next…

    Ooh and David Allen's 'Getting Things Done' goes down really well with creatives

    I'm a bit predjudiced since I'm the publisher, but I think “Thick Black Theory” would also be a great addition!
