Let’s continue with extra recommended business books

4 Hour Work Week

The list is kicked off with A 4 Hour Work Week for a lot of reasons . It is a book that you let alone in life differently: enjoy it more, don’t care about money and care a lot about your time. An entrepreneur should not do a lot of things. In fact, an entrepreneur must do a few things that yield the most. And so you will discover much more in this book.

Think And Grow Rich

Think And Grow Rich is an old book but the 13 principles from the book are still very important because they are so goal-oriented: seek mentorship from successful people and head straight for your goal!

Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires

Finally, the list also includes the book Ask And It Is Given by Esther Hicks. This is an important book for entrepreneurs because questions are so important if you want results. By the way, by questions does not only mean literally questions, but also the ‘attracting’ of success by asking the universe. Too spiritual? You can, but also test it before you reject it.
