if you like business and entrepreneur books as much as I do. This videos for
you. Because I've got nine amazing recommendations out of hundreds. I mean, I
was going through my audible list thinking, "Okay, there's a lot of good
books here." And I narrowed it down to the top 9 most amazing business books
that are a must reader, must listen.
Okay. Number one is actually a 2 book set that I recommend by Robert Kiyosaki
called Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant. If you have not read those
books, even if you've heard about them you think that you know what they're
about, go and read them. Go and listen to them
and really understand that cashflow quadrant. It'll make a world of
difference in your mindset, your paradigm that you see business in and money. Yeah,
those are a must read for every entrepreneur. Second book. Oh, I have to
say the same thing. Seriously. The E-myth revisited by
Michael Gerber, okay? That is a game-changer. It's a game-changer. I mean
I'm all about systems. I'm the master of efficiency as many of you know. Reading
this book really painted the picture of how I could do what I learned in the
cash flow quadrant. Of changing from self-employed to a business owner. The
E-myth Revisited is how to do that. The action items. How you actually create
your business so that you're a business owner working on your business instead
of an employee of your own business working in your business, right? So, you've
got to read the E-myth Revisited. These 2 first recommendations I've listened
to over and over and over again. And I recommend that you do the same. Okay, this
one's a fun one. You probably heard about it. So, number three is the 4-hour
workweek by Tim Ferriss. Okay? That opened my eyes to a lot of amazing things and
cause some paradigm shifts. Just helped me see that there's a lot of things that
we consider as the norm that you should do this. And and you question it and just
think, "You know, what that really doesn't make sense. And it doesn't have to apply
to me in my business." And it's just there's some good sound advice in there.
So, the 4-hour Workweek. Okay, number four is a book that I recommend to all of my
clients who want to build a massive following on YouTube and they've got a
business. It's called Content Inc by Ed Puluzzi. I'm mixing two up. It's
Joe Pulizzi. The next book I'm recommending is Ed. So this one is Joe. Joe
Pulizzi, Content Inc. Now, it kind of backs up my strategy that's why I like it so
much. I was listening to it's like, "Yeah. Someone who knows what I'm talking about."
Because it you can take the standard step by step. This is how you start a
business. This is you know, this is when you should market, this is when you
create your website, this is what you should do this. This is when you start to
give speeches. This... Okay? It turns it backwards. And you can build influence
first. Oh, I totally believe in that. So, you got to read Content Inc.
Okay, the next one bye EdCatmull is Creativity Inc. Okay, he is the guy behind
Pixar. Yeah, Ed Catmull. Such a good book. Now, it's... It really just helped me get a
real good grounding and overall understanding of the creative process
and overcoming challenges. And a commitment to quality. There's just so
many things that I can't put words to that I just loved that book and highly
recommend it to any entrepreneur. Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull. Now, I have
mixed feelings about Grant Cardone. He is a powerhouse of a guy. And if you have
listened to any of his books, you've probably already listened to this one.
The 10x Rule. There's just something about this specific book of his that I
do recommend that every entrepreneur reads. I mean, he's a go-getter. He talks
about if you want to get this amount of results and you think it's going to take
this amount of work to get those results, it's not. It's going to take 10 times that
amount. And he goes in to explain why. And it gives a lot of examples. And he just
challenges you. And it's a real motivator and driver, I found. And so, I do recommend
the 10x rule by Grant Cardone. Okay, this next one is a practical one for those of
you who want to be YouTubers and want to get better at filming. I learned a lot of
great tips and techniques from Steve Stockman. I look at his name. How To
Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck. Great title. It's a great audio book.
You'll learn some things that will really help you up your game in video
just by listening to it. So, I definitely recommend every entrepreneur should
listen to that one. Okay. I found another great one. I've listened to this one many
times. You know Jack Canfield? Okay, he's famous for the
Soup for the Soul book. And series of books. Well, he wrote a book called
Success Principles. Now, this one like, you'd think, "Okay, yeah. I'm a successful
guy. I'm going to write a book success principles. I'll be able to sell it and
it will make me a lot of money." This is the real deal. He really put meat in
this book. It's a good one. It's one that I... For those of you that are readers,
I actually might recommend that you try listening to it on audio becuase there's so
much in there that... Just whatever whatever works best for you you've got
to check out that book. I don't know how to give it a better recommendation than
that. Go check out the Success Principles by Jack Canfield. Okay, this next one is
famous. You've probably heard of it. Maybe you've read it. It's one that's worth
reading many many times. And I admit and I know I haven't told you the title yet.
Reading it in book form, I tried for a year or 2 and there's just so
much meat in it. That it was hard for me to get through. But on audio, I got
through it easily. And I've listened to it multiple times. It's the Seven Habits
of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Oh, that's such a good book. I
learned to love it a lot more in this specific case when I was able to listen
to this one on audio. It's obviously sold millions
and millions of copies because it is a great book. There's just some gold
in there. There's just some gold principles of life and success in
business. And contributing to the world with integrity. And leaving a lasting
impact and legacy. Yeah, The Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People. Those are the 9 books. I've got a poll. I'm putting a poll
right here. How many of my 9 recommendations are brand new to you?
Right? So, going to just click the poll and click the number. How many out of the
9 are brand new recommendations to you. I'm curious have you listened to all
of them. So, zero of them were brand new? Or all nine? If you've got a whole
feast of ebooks and audiobooks to listen to. And then next I have an invitation. I
know we're getting to end of the video. But I'm curious what business books
would you add to this list? Not just one that you're listening to currently. Or
just one that hasn't been listed. But what's one that you think is a must read
for entrepreneurs? I am very interested in seeing that and checking out more
books that I haven't even heard of yet. So, list those ones. Only the best ones.
List the very best ones in the comments below.
