16 Business Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read
I’ve read a bunch of these several times over, but here are my recommendations for business books every entrepreneur should read:
1. All In by Bill Green
How do you go from running a flea market business to operating a distribution empire that rakes in sales of more than $1.8 billion?
All In by Bill Green is filled with lessons learned by this serial entrepreneur over the past 40 years, and details the steps he had to take to build his first small hardware store–which ultimately got sold to Home Depot. This book is a how-to guide packed with practical tools on how to take an idea and make it big.
2. Meetings Suck by Cameron Herold
How many times have you sat through a meeting and thought to yourself, “Why is this such a waste of time?”
According to renowned business growth expert Cameron Herold, meetings aren’t the problem. We are. This is one of those books that helps shed some perspective on the importance of focusing on soft skills, like how to hold an effective meeting that leaves people feeling empowered. Meetings Suck is essentially a guide on how to be a better leader, by walking readers, step by step, through systems that encourage true productivity and efficiency.
