If you want to be a business owner you have to start thinking like a business owner, not a trainer. Here is list of some of the best books I've read to help you think more like a business owner.
- Anything written by Thomas Plummer
- Starbucks Effect
- 113 Million Markets of One
- The E-Myth - by Michael E. Gerber
- Think and Grow Rich - by Napoleon Hill
- It's Called Work For A Reason - by Larry Winget
- Screw It, Let's Do It - by Richard Branson
- Switch - by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
- Delivery Happiness - by Tony Hsieh
- Brewing Up A Business - by Sam Calamine
- The Power Of Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Peele
- 212 Degrees - by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull - by Richard Bach
- How To Win Friends And Influence People - Dale Carnegie
- Kout Matters - Gina Carr and Terry Brock
- Your Money or Your Life - Vicki Brown and Joe Dominguez
- Overcoming Underearning - by Barbara Stanny
- Just Listen - by Mark Goulston
- If You Want It Done Right, You Don't Have To Do It Yourself - Donna M. Gennett
In addition to books you should be reading magazines such as, Entrepreneur and Inc. Along with listening to podcasts and watching educational DVD's.
If you want to run a successful business you need to spend at least 30-60 minutes everyday improving yourself through reading, listening to podcasts, and watching videos. In a year that is 365 hours of learning you've done. Considering that most of your competitors aren't willing to dedicate that much time to improving themselves this gives you a huge advantage.
Learning is only the beginning. If you don't take action on what you are learning it is all worthless. Take action even if you don't fully understand what you are getting into and figure it out as you go.
