What Are Some Great Books for Entrepreneurs and Business People?

If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, then there are several great books that are a must-read!  I frequently read books on business, and especially biographies & autobiographies of great entrepreneurs.

Below I have listed a few of my favorite business books. I think these books are great for anyone in business & you can learn something from every single book listed!

Also, most of these books are available at the public library for free- so not only can you gain some entrepreneurial wisdom, but you can leave your money at home =)!

List of Great Business/Entrepreneur Books

1. Napoleon Hill- Think & Grow Rich! This is an absolute classic. It shows the power of thinking & helps you stay motivated. Andrew Carnegie set Mr. Hill up to writing this books so that a “success formula” could be found.

2. Titan-the Life of John D. Rockefeller! This is a very interesting book about one of the richest men who has ever lived. I learned a lot from this book.

3. Made in America- Sam Walton’s book about his amazing story & how he built Wal-mart into a giant.

4. The Art of War- This is a classic book that is given to many CEOs & business leaders. It contains war strategies, but these strategies also can be applied to business (after all, business is war usually).

5. Rich Dad, Poor Dad- Another great classic. Richard Kiyosaki gives a story of a rich dad’s advice as compared to his poor dad’s advice/habits. His poor dad is his biological father, who although is middle class never builds wealth. His rich dad is his friend’s father, who was a high school dropout, yet builds a business empire.

6. See You At the Top by Zig Ziglar- This is a great guide to improving your management/selling techniques & having a positive attitude.

These are all great books. I think you can really learn something from any/all of them. Some you will learn the importance of positive attitude & thinking. Some will teach you great business lessons.

If you haven’t read any of the books on this list, I would highly recommend them.
