10) Rich dad, poor dad.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Rich<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the difference between assets and\nliabilities, a profession and a business, working for someone and working for\nyourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you work for money? Should money be\nyour one and only goal on your way to becoming rich? Study better, get good\ngrades, that\u2019s the one and only way for you to ever become rich, or at least\nthat\u2019s what most people would tell you, is it true though? Take a look at the\nrichest people on this earth and do a small check about their educational\nbackground, you\u2019ll find that the majority of them don\u2019t even have a degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying you should ditch school once\nand for all, all I\u2019m saying is that life isn\u2019t just about getting good\neducation and good grades, sure they matter, but they\u2019re definitely not what\nmatters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) Copycat Marketing 101.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Copycat<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s True wealth? Is it just the ability\nto buy whatever you need whenever you want? Is it having a huge savings\naccount? Is it earning more than a million dollars a year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True wealth is the ability to be free, to\nhave enough money and time to do whatever you want, whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine being a talented surgeon who earns\na lot but has to spend 16 hours a day working 6 days a week, sure, you\u2019d have\nlots of money, but you wouldn\u2019t be rich, you\u2019d just have lots of money with not\nenough time to spend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) F.U. Money.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"F.U.<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why listen to authors talking about getting\nrich when most of them aren\u2019t even rich themselves, obviously, if their advice\nworked, they would have been rich themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to be able to buy anything\nwithout having to look at the price tag? Do you want to be free of your\nfinancial limits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F.U. money simply means freedom, freedom to\ntravel the world whenever you want, to hire people to do the things you want to\nget done but don\u2019t want to do them yourself, F.U. Money is a metaphor for\nfinancial and personal freedom, it\u2019s freedom from stress, it\u2019s all about having\na debt-free life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Good to Great.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Good<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Being good is perfect, it\u2019s freeing and\nit\u2019s something that everyone wants to be, but, listen closely, don\u2019t you think\nthat in your attempt to become good, you\u2019re also preventing yourself from being\ngreat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing that stops a good company\nfrom being great, it that they are happy with their current position, why\nachieve greatness when you\u2019re just barely good enough? Why spend the extra\neffort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the thing is, do not start off as a\ngood average person, start your way by putting greatness as your final and ONLY\ngoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Branding is not that difficult, but it\u2019s\nalso not simple in any way, to successfully brand your product you need to\nunderstand some basic laws of branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn the laws of expansion, advertising,\npublicity, and quality, along with other 18 immutable laws to help your product\nstand out in a market full of competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) The 100$ Startup.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No shortcuts, that\u2019s the first principle\nyou\u2019ll learn in this book, shortcuts to making money fast by just thinking\nabout it is fictional, it doesn\u2019t apply in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we agree that making money fast by\njust thinking about it is not real, let\u2019s start with the most important lesson\nin this book, it\u2019s convergence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convergence is the ability to mix between\ntwo different things to produce something else that has a mix between both of\nthe original products, so, the first product here being your passion, and the\nsecond one being what others care about, when you mix these two things, Ta da!\nYou\u2019ve got yourself a money-making machine that\u2019s entirely based on something\nyou love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) The E-Myth Revisited.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most entrepreneurs fail because they just\nassume that just because they are passionate about something and they know how\nto do that thing, their business will succeed, however, the truth is, knowing\nhow to cook does not mean that you know how to run a store to sell the food you\ncook, it\u2019s never about cooking only, to run a business, you need to be aware of\nthe customers, rent, opening up, getting your food ready, closing up, cleaning,\nshopping, going to the bank, starting all over again, and finally, your cooking\nskills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a fatal assumption that most\nentrepreneurs fall in, and it ultimately results in failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The lean startup.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why do most startups fail? People invest so\nmuch money, effort and time in their startups but most of them eventually fail,\nwhat\u2019s the reason behind that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start a business of your own, you need\nto think big and start small, think about everything on paper before you\nactually start your business, and that way you\u2019ll prevent the most common\nmistake that people do when they start a business, which is the lack of\nplanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The richest man in Babylon.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are 7 basic principles of effective\nmoney management, the first one is learning how to save and invest at least 10\npercent of all your earnings for the future, then learning how to live and save\nfrom the remaining 90 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other principles too as investing\nonly in your area of expertise and planning your financial plan well, by the\nend of this book, you\u2019ll learn the 7 most important principles of effective\nmoney management and hereby putting your first step in the road of wealth and\nfinancial freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)Zero to one.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Zero<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Copying rich people and doing things\nEXACTLY the way they did it will not make you rich, in fact, it\u2019s a highway to\nfailure, sure, copycatting the steps the richest people in the world used to\nmake that huge amount of money will definitely help you, but copycatting\neverything they did will definitely not work, for example, the next Bill Gates\nwill not make another operating system neither will the next Mark Zuckerberg make\nanother social-networking website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To move from Zero to One, you need to be\ndifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you will enjoy these 10 best business books, written by the famous entrepreneurs themselves. Each Idea in the book is different and worth reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
