10 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki
Who hasn’t heard of Rich Dad Poor Dad and its author Robert Kiyosaki? These both names has been everywhere since this book got launched. This is a great read for every young entrepreneur, it teaches one of the most important skill to have in life – Financial Education. In younger age, lack of financial education leads the failure to the whole life and Robert Kiyosaki’s book is like a God’s gift to young people according to me. It tells everything a young brain need to know about handling money the right way without giving a headache. Rich Dad Poor Dad teaches life lessons via a story of a kid who has two fathers. It perfectly shines a light on the 9-5 job and the rat race that keeps people in jobs they hate. Robert explains how one can make money out of money, how to create a system where money works for you and how anyone can make his entrepreneurial dreams come true with chilling hard truth about wealth – it’s not found by getting good grades in exams, graduating from best university or working for a secure company.

2. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
This is my personal favorite. This book has everything to lead anyone to the success of any level. The best thing about this book is, it explains things so clearly in perfect sized paragraphs. Reading this book is like learning with Entertainment. Any person who tries a lot to have success but unfortunately doesn’t get there need to read this Napoleon Hill’s writing once and he won’t be thinking – `What wrong` again! If read and followed exactly as it explains, This book is guaranteed to change anyone’s life for forever. This is the closest to my heart, I wish schools start teaching at least some lessons of the book to young brains. Think and Grow Rich from a motivation inspiration standpoint really opened my eyes.

After reading this book and implementing its teachings I’ve personally cracked sweet deals with even those people with whom I never liked to talk with, this has been proved as a life hacking tool for me. I strongly recommend reading this book at least once a year because I don’t think any other can teach better skills to win over any kind of people, for example, someone close-minded or someone not interested in your craft. Just read this book and go make deals with the president if you need!
