Best 5 books for an entrepreneurs

  The E myth

 

This is the one of the best book for an entrepreneurs.

the entrepreneurial myth 1: the myth that most people who start small businesses are entrepreneurs 2: the fatal assumption that an individual who understands the technical work of a business can successfully run a business that does that technical work

This book tells how to get your business to run without you. It shows how to work on your business, not in it. It explains how to get your people to work without your interference. It tells how to systematize so the business could be replicated 5,000 times. It shows how to do the work you love rather than the work you have to do.

The E-Myth (Entrepreneurial Myth) is that businesses are started by entrepreneurs seeking profit. In actuality, businesses are started by technicians (employees) who decide to work for themselves. The problem is they understand the technical work, not the business itself.

Gerber explains that we're all composed of 3 personalities. For your business to succeed, you must play each role:
1. The Entrepreneur: a future-focused visionary who pursues opportunities
2. The Manager: a past-focused worrier who plans and organizes
3. The Technician: a present-focused worker who concentrates on the task at hand

 The Law of Success

 

this book is one of the best seller book

“You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!”
THIS is a course on the fundamentals of Success.
Success is very largely a matter of adjusting one’s self to the ever-varying and changing environments of life, in a spirit of harmony and poise.

 

Before Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote a series of sixteen lessons, called The Law of Success, which were designed to teach fifteen principles of successful living to students, starting at the high school level.

The Law of Success has long been out of print, until now. Melvin Powers and the Wilshire Book Company, who sold millions of copies of Think and Grow Rich in paperback, have now published The Law of Success as two paperback volumes. Now you can have your own copy to study and enjoy.

                                            

                                   The 33 Strategies of War

Brilliant distillations of the strategies of war—and the subtle social game of everyday life—by the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Laws of Human Nature
Robert Greene’s groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, and Mastery, espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events of history to help readers vanquish an enemy, ensnare an unsuspecting victim, or become the greatest in your field. In The 33 Strategies of War, Greene has crafted an important addition to this ruthless and unique series. 

 "The 33 Strategies of War" basically assumes you're a member of the fucking Borgias family--everyone you meet is an enemy or a stragtegic friend, and both groups will likely undermine you. I feel like Robert Greene has read way too much Machiavelli, and now sees his entire life in those terms.

While I found the Game of Thronesy political/strategic angle entertaining, it becomes wearisome after 200 pages or so. Green's prose isn't awful, but he's very repetitive. On the plus side, he throws in a lot of interesting military history to illustrate his "principles".

Read this if you're a high-powered exec. looking for a book to justify your amoral/psychopathic worldview.

 The 48 Law of Power

This is a controversial book, mostly because the average person wishes the world were peaceful, friendly, and not full of chaos and drama...Well, unfortunately, wishes don't make it a reality, and there are people out there who prey on the weak and take advantage of those who are too trusting. The 48 Laws of Power (by Robert Greene) illuminates many ways that those predatory people can gain power over anyone who is not aware of the manipulation and power games they play. And while it may take some practice, study, and a keen eye for detail, anyone can learn to spot these (often subtle) power struggles and often even turn the tables on the enemy at hand!

This book teaches you about your "Power" and how to recognize it in everything you do, especially your profession. It teaches you humility and humbleness and how powerful that is when it's applied. I have two other books in this series and am in the process of reading them all. This particular book does not need to be read cover to  cover. You can read on the "48 Laws" as they interest you, not only as the book is written.

48 laws of power are 48 ways to manipulate people to your will by any and all means necessary ."Create a cult like following give your disciples rituals to perform and ask them to make sacrifices in your behalf"'.

                                               The intelligent investor

                                   The Intelligent Investor should be read by all investor as a foundation to developing a sound investing plan. Graham's principles certainly seem to  have stood the test of the last 70 years, as well as the 50 years preceding the publication of his book.
The biggest contribution of Graham's work is his clear distinction between a speculator and an investor. This should cause many to realize they're really speculators masquerading as investors. The result: Frustrated attempt to follow an investor's plan in theory, which is undermined by the reality of their underlying speculator mentality.
