9 Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read This Summer

Something we implement every single day in our business (and personal life), is:

“Always Look for Learning”.

Our most successful clients are those who have an incredible thirst (for many it’s an obsession!) to learn more. Constantly.

Reading is so important; it helps us see the world, helps us understand ourselves and others, helps us escape, and helps us develop.

I’m often asked what my favourite business book is. It’s an impossible to answer as I’ve read thousands, but there are some that are I refer to time and time again. 

So, if you’re looking for some reading inspiration at home, on a sun lounger, or on a plane, I’ve compiled this starter for ten (well, nine!)...

#1 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

#2 Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed

#3 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

#4 Jim Collins: Good to Great, Great by Choice, Built to Last, How the Mighty Fall (couldn't narrow it down to just one of Jim’s!)

#5 The Balanced Scorecard by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton

#6 Mindset by Dr Carol Dweck

#7 Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim & Renée A. Mauborgne

#8 Who Not How by Dan Sullivan

#9 Entrepreneur Revolution by Daniel Priestley

As always, let me know what books have most inspired you, or that have had a lasting impact on you or your business.
