7 Books that Changed Your Life

Ooops - You said seven . . .

I've read 3 out of 7 and I have wanted to pick up a fourth from that list for a while. 

The E-Myth book, is interesting and it makes some valid points but at the same time it makes some general assumptions at its very core that may not apply to every one and that hurts its applicability. But overall I would say, it fully deserves its place in the "must read" of business books. 

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is interesting as a 5 second concept, but the book gets painfully repetitive and redundant after the first 20 pages. One thing's for sure, Kiosaki may be a successful anything, but he is definitely not a good writer.

Of course, the Bible!

Millionaire Real Estate Agent - Plan to read it in the near future.  

My personal business book favorite is "Good to Great", hands down! Give it a try, it's an outstanding read and it will open your eyes to what makes a great company 

Why We Want You To Be Rich - by Donald Trump & Robert Kiyosaki

This book will give you an insight into the thinking of the two mega rich forward thinking pioneers!

I have not read number 5, guess I will pick it up and check it out.  The others have been very influential in my life.  Great list.

I have read three on the list, when it comes to business The E-Myth Revisited is a must read. LaMont nice list thanks for sharing.

I love to read and that is a great list

Thanks for this list -- I've read them all except The E-Myth Revisted -- I'm off to Amazon...

Great list! The new Think and Grow Rich by Ted Ciuba and Napoleon Hill -- ** Unauthorized  

Is a great updated read of the original. Easier to understand and maybe a little more modern.

I would recommend it.

Paul Viau 

Thanks for your list!  Looks like I need to put down Harry Potter and pick up something else!!

Great list, Lamont.  The best  two books that I have read in years (and I read a LOT of books) that fall under this category are :

The Power of Focus: How to Hit Your Business, Personal  and Financial Targets With Absolute Certainty  by Jack Canfield, Mark Hansen and Les Hewitt

and  

Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho

If you only buy two books this year, buy the above two ! I can't say this enough.

customer for life by carl sewell awsome book read it years ago when i was a auto service manager

Thanks for the list. I have read 4 out of 7. I will try to read the  other books recommended .

The Bible.  And I don't read it enough.

Thanks for the list.  I will bookmark for later reference.

The sales Bible is a great one too.

John - Thanks for reminding me about "Customer For Life" by Carl Sewell.

I read that book years ago when my husband - who was is the car business at the time - brought it home. I loved it and think it's about time to pick it back up.

The best book to read and study if you are in business is "The Art of War".

How about "Die Broke" great strategy for retirement

The Millionionaire Mind is a great read it will really show you who has the money and it's not who you think

My favorite book when I retired from my last gig was "The Joy of not working" great read for anyone at any time 

 

"Occupational Fraud and Abuse" by Joseph Wells. Hard to put down. Applicable, and essential, to understanding and combating today's alarming incidence of corporate and banking fraud. The bible on the subject.
