Not specifically for Entrepreneurs but anyone that has any kind of ambition for anything. I found that the book “Hidden Potential by Adam Grant” was truly a motivating book. Exploring the concept of Potential and how it is often misunderstood. Really good read for anyone

Basic Economics (Sowell)
The Nuclear Effect by Scott Oldford. Its literally the BEST business book I have ever read. It actually shows how to structure and run the five key components of your business. Its not some trendy mindset bullshit or fluff or Gary V horseshit. It actually teaches the FUNCTIONAL steps of a highly profitable business.
Building a storybrand was pretty great for me
Zero to one spoke to my heart
The E-Myth revised:
to prevent that you become a slave of your business, like most entrepreneurs are.
Life changing book that set me free for life.
80/20 sales & marketing by Perry Marshall
Productivity and marketing efficiency on steroids.
The road less stupid by Keith Cunningham
Meditations – Marcus Aurelias
Many books have their purposes and are not necessarily what others would put in the same category. Just helpful books in perhaps nontraditional ways.
That being said, I go with “The Mom Test”.

-Scaling up
-Traction

I enjoy reading the [Harvard Business Review](https://imgur.com/a/OahuCIP) books. Lots of great topics to learn about; my collection is steadily growing.
Craig Andrews – Make Sales Magical – just read it and loved it!
Refuse to choose is a good one too
Seth Godin is arguably the most read, least followed guru online. Everybody likes to have read Seth Godin, nobody proves it in execution. People here would have gotten more out of eating the damn books for all the good it does.
I have cited a specific Seth Godin piece of advice and gotten some grief in the doing. Why? It runs contrary to the iron foundation work of wantrepreneur myth — and most popular online industries.
You bring up a good point, I’ll start asking people which book they most ignored — or completely bastardized and distorted — and why that was the cause of failure.

Build by Tony Fadell. It comes off bit cliche or corny at times. Interesting book as it really covers those most important aspects when creating something. Things that may seem basic to any business major but are crucial in remembering for a succesful business.
Think like a rocket scientist 🚀
Never split the difference.
Any recommendation for books on bootstrapping a business?
Start with something like Math of Finance 101 and then maybe do Marketing 101 and then throw away all the shitty self-help and entrepreneurial books.
Competitive Advantage by Michael Porter. I would have said Zero to One but I think Competitive Advantage covers the general concept (blue ocean strategy) while going much more in-depth and even throwing in tactical and actionable advice.
It’s challenging to pick just one, but if I had to recommend one book for entrepreneurs, it would be “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries. This book offers invaluable insights into building and managing a startup in a fast-paced and uncertain environment. It provides practical advice on how to validate ideas, iterate quickly, and focus on what truly matters for success.
Tony Robins – Unlimited Power.
A classic. A good business starts with good mentality.
Robert Greene – mastery, 48 laws of power, laws of human nature.
A business classic that has influenced everything from Big cooperation to rappers.
Seth Godin – purple cow, Linchpin.
Marketing genius.
The 5th discipline – Peter Sage.
7 habits of highly effective people – Stephen c cowley
Start with why – Simon Sinek
How to win friends and influence people, The art of money getting, money psychology, atomic habits.
What are some good books that are not very mainstream?
As a book addict, I read lots of books every month (20+) and in my experience most books are just bull shits🤣. They all seems right in theory, but failed practically. So instead of reading a book from start to finish, I read the summary first. You can easily find it in google. Then use those summary notes in real life, if it work for you, then read that book; if not, then skip it. Hope it helps👍
