The Money Garden by Julie Austin
This product was recommended by Julie Austin from Create For Cash
I’m the author of a beginning book for entrepreneurs called The Money Garden: How to Plant the Seeds for a Lifetime of Income. It’s about how to run multiple businesses, but is a book for beginners. I’m suggesting it because I started out only running one business and was caught off guard during the economic downturn in 2008. I’ve since learned not to put all of my eggs in one basket. Running multiple businesses sounds daunting, but it’s actually not when you know how.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
This product was recommended by Jae Pak from Jae Pak Medical
This is one of my favorite business books. A boss may have the capacity to manage employees or the savviness to own their own company, but leaders inspire people to think outside the box, provide mentorship and motivate others to strive for next-level success. Leadership adds jet fuel to the fire of productivity, and this book is one that inspired me as a young business owner.
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries
This product was recommended by Michael Green from Winona
Lean Startup: How Constant Innovation Creates Radically Successful Businesses by Eric Ries is a must-read for every baby business owner. I credit this literary work for empowering rapid active user growth on my online health platform. The biggest lesson I took from it is that nothing should ever be set in stone when it comes to your business strategy. It’s important to continually test the waters and pivot when something isn’t working or when there is a clear alternative path.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This product was recommended by Joshua Nelson from Allstate Bail Bonds
Taking business advice from fictional characters may not be the norm, but “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho has had a big impact on my entrepreneurial journey. It follows Santiago, a shepherd boy who leaves his city to search for a buried treasure at the Egyptian Pyramids. Along the way, he meets many characters who help him achieve his “personal legend,” which means finding his calling in life. Reading this book made me realize that everyone has “personal legend” to fulfill, and sometimes we must rely on blind faith to get there. I think that’s something most entrepreneurs can relate to.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
This product was recommended by Hrvoje Milakovic from Fiction Horizon
As far as business is concerned, Napoleon Hill is a classic in terms of self-help literature. This insightful book was originally published in 1937 and is still one of the most popular books in its category around the world, being re-published quite often. It is not common for a non-classic book to stick around for so long, but Think and Grow Rich is an exception, and that says more than enough about the book itself. Napoleon Hill was supposedly inspired by none other than Andrew Carnegie to write this book and that could be the key to its longevity since we all know that Carnegie is one of the most household names in the history of business. Hill’s book is easy to read and has a great style. It also corresponds to general issues and questions, which is why it is both popular and applicable even a century (well, almost) after its original publication. A lot of people use it as a starting point in business ventures and while Hill’s book doesn’t predict all the challenges of modern business, the general principles outlined in the book can be applied even today, which is why this book is a true classic that you can definitely use at the beginning of your journey.

The Little Red Book of Selling by Jeffrey Gitomer
This product was recommended by Rafal Mlodzki from Passport Photo Online
Jeffrey Gitomer’s “Little Red Book of Selling” is a title I can wholeheartedly recommend for business beginners. Available on Amazon, the book puts emphasis on the crucial skill of persuasion. Gitomer really knows how to get to the point and how to write like a skilled educator. He grabs your attention and doesn’t let go, which is rare for business books that, in most cases, are hardly page-turners. You will struggle to find a more understandable, thought-provoking, and just plain entertaining book on business.

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
This product was recommended by Ricky Liu from Yoyipet
This book offers a fascinating look at the world of outliers,–the brightest, most successful, and most famous minds. According to him, what makes high-achievers different? In his opinion, we tend to focus too much on what successful people do rather than their cultural, familial, generational and idiosyncratic backgrounds. I believe that It is an absorbing and entertaining read. Business books are often loaded with commercial jargon and fake sincerity, but this one is engaging without any of that.
Small Time Operator by Bernard B. Kamoroff C.P.A.
This product was recommended by Erika Barnes from Petsmitten
Some might argue that the book is a little dated (though new editions and revisions are still being released), but many of the basics of business that I learned from the book are eternal truths- they were true when people were buying togas in Ancient Rome, and they are still true now. I can’t recommend the book enough. In a clear and concise manner, the book details not complex business concepts but rather basic principles and how to start and run a small business day to day, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Everything I know about business I taught myself, so when I suggest this book it comes from a place of experience. I knew nothing and some of the books out there would assume I’d at least know the basics. They were wrong and I was confused. Until I came across this book, Starting and Running a Business (For Dummies) which actually made me feel like a lot less of a dummy. Now I’m a CEO and I still swear by the lessons it taught me.
