5 Must-Read Books For Entrepreneurs

There's nothing quite like diving into a great book, particularly when what I'm reading helps me become a better person and more effective CEO.

Even when I'm busy, I always find at least 10 to 15 minutes each day to read or listen to audiobooks. Here are quick summaries and timestamps for 5 of the best business books I highly recommend every entrepreneur read.

1:24 - Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss ??Get it here ?? https://amzn.to/2TzC9daAs a former FBI hostage negotiator, Chris dives deep into the psychology and strategies of negotiation. This is an excellent book (and yes, negotiation is a skill everyone needs!)

3:10 - The One Thing by Gary Keller ??Get it here ?? https://amzn.to/3bTTlQU

When we focus on the right things, that's when we find success. Garry's book is fantastic at helping to identify what you should be focusing on. I guarantee this will lead to several 'a-ha' moments as you read it!

As the CEO of Disney, Bob has been involved in some huge business deals, from acquiring Pixar from Steve Jobs to purchasing Lucas Films in order to own the Star Wars films. This candid biography shares all the behind the scenes stories in a vulnerable and honest way.

From the author of Duct Tape Marketing comes another amazing gem - The Self Reliant Entrepreneur. In it John shares 366 daily meditations to feed your soul and grow your business. What I really enjoy about this book is the daily challenge questions that prompt reflection.
