Over my many years in business, I have learned that in order to be successful you have to have an extreme thirst for knowledge. You have to continually be growing and adapting to the world around you; and one of the easiest ways to do so is to read, read, read.
A message from an early mentor of mine was “Leaders are Readers.” He recommended a cookbook for reading at least 2 books a month- 1 business and 1 fiction.
Since I am frequently asked, “What books do you recommend I read?” or “What are some good books that could help me succeed in my business?”, I compiled a list of my favorite business and leadership books and their authors.
Since I have hundreds of business books in my library, and we all want the very best of the best, I’ve picked 20 books that I would recommend for business success.
Please note, this list is not compiled in any specific order, its random.
