Great Books

The following three books, are in my opinion must read books for anyone interested in starting their own business. These books have probably had the greatest influence on my own ideas on business and entrepreneurship than any other business books, which is why I am now recommending them to you.

Love is the Killer Ap 

by Tim Sanders

While this book isn't exactly a book about entrepreneurship it offers a great business philosophy that I think every entrepreneur should strive to follow. Sanders calls his business philosophy a Lovecat mentality, where you share you intangibles (knowledge, network, compassion) freely among all you do business with.

The E-Myth Revisited 

by Michael Gerber

In this book Gerber states that running a successful business requires more that just knowing about the technical aspect of what the business does, but requires a degree of business savvy which Gerber explains in the book. Gerber outlines several ways an entrepreneur can be successful by working "on" his business not just "in" it, taking care of day to day affairs. This is a must read because it shows the skills and mentality that is required to be successful as an entrepreneur.

The Art of the Start 

by Guy Kawasaki

In this book Kawasaki gets more into the details of starting and growing a business but also presents his philosophy of entrepreneurship. He gives a lot of great advice that most people may not consider when starting a business but that could have a great impact on the success of their business.

Chris, I enjoyed your blog. I am an avid fan of Michael Gerber, so I wanted to see what you had to say about his book. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the free book summaries from BookJive. This certainly has to be helpful for entrepreneurs.

I am particularly interested in the upcoming Global Entrepreneurship Week in November. Over 60 countries will be encouraging young people around the world to consider entrepreneurship as their life's passion. I hope that many of them will find your lens and be inspired.
