Top Business Books for Entrepreneurs: Part 2

This post may contain affiliate links and/or it may have been a partnership. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please view our Affiliates Disclaimer page for more details.

I have a massive list of business books for entrepreneurs lined up to read this year. I’ve shared part 1 of the books for entrepreneurs already. This is the rest of the books I have been encouraged to read this year.

I have always felt that having the right mindset is essential to accomplishing the goal of growing your business. Yet, I’ve managed to let fear stand in my way for as long as I can remember. I have LOADS of knowledge on many things I’ve gained through the years as an online entrepreneur. I won’t succeed again if I don’t change my focus and mindset. Hence, I want to fill my mind with as much positive, mentally kicking material as possible this year from as many sources as possible.

Eat Cake. Be Brave.

Pre-Owned Eat Cake (Hardcover) by Jeanne Ray

I wrote this Eat Cake. Be Brave. because when I turned 41 I made the decision to live brave, bolder, and freer. I thought our lives were supposed to change when we turned 40. But mine changed when I turned 41 and I set out to prove that it wasn’t too late for me. And maybe, just maybe, reading about my journey to find my sense of self-worth will help you rightfully believe in yours. This book is about how all the years of my life led up to the one that changed it.
So, cut a big slice and raise a fork…Here’s to bravery.Here’s to courage.Here’s to cake.(And not the crappy kind, like carrot.)

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

Daring Greatly : How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead (Paperback)

Daring Greatly is not about winning or losing. It’s about courage. In a world where “never enough” dominates and feeling afraid has become second nature, vulnerability is subversive. Uncomfortable. It’s even a little dangerous at times. And, without question, putting ourselves out there means there’s a far greater risk of getting criticized or feeling hurt. But when we step back and examine our lives, we will find that nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous, and hurtful as standing on the outside of our lives looking in and wondering what it would be like if we had the courage to step into the arena—whether it’s a new relationship, an important meeting, the creative process, or a difficult family conversation. Daring Greatly is a practice and a powerful new vision for letting ourselves be seen.

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

I found Grit to be the perfect hybrid of informative and motivating. If you’re looking for a book that will help educate you as to what you should do in your life and how you can be successful doing it, then this is the book for you. It lays out chapter-by-chapter both the science and the steps you’ll need to take in order to make changes in your life that will lead you to success or at least put you on the path towards it. The mix of anecdotes, profiles, scientific studies, and personal stories all combine to form a really easy-to-read and educational book that is laid out and displayed in a simple yet interesting way. Below I took a crack at the things I’m going to do now going forward as a result of reading this book.

PIN FOR LATER!

Worth It: Your Life, Your Money, Your Terms 

Worth It : Your Life, Your Money, Your Terms (Paperback)

Worth It outlines the essential financial information women need – and everything the institutions and advisors don’t spell out. Steinberg gets to the bottom of why women are stressed and anxious when it comes to their finances and teaches them to stay away from strict budgeting and other harsh austerity practices. Instead she makes money relatable while sharing strategies she uses herself to build confidence and ease in her own financial life. Through her firsthand experiences and the stories from other women who’ve woken up, Steinberg’s powerful and encouraging advice can help women of any age and income view money as a source of freedom and independence – and create bright financial futures.

Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine

Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine (Hardcover)

Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: sales – expenses = profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren’t always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales – Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz’s Profit First system, listeners will learn that:

Following four simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.

A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.

Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth.

Conclusion

There are many business books for entrepreneurs that have gained loads of clout. However, these have been the most suggested out of the business groups I’m a part of. This question has been asked a lot of times throughout December.

What business books for entrepreneurs would you add to this list?

  1. I would like to read them all. You never know when you find that book that changes everything, the way you think and see things like The Purple Cow by S. Godin did for me!

  2. Self-education is high on my to-do list this year. It is super important, and yet many forget it or think that learning is over when you have left school. On the contrary. After school starts the learning that is guided by YOUR interests, wishes, and thoughts about the future YOU want.
    … and by the way, I added the Grit straight on my library waiting list to read this spring!

    • I hope that you get the chance to read it. I have always let my kids pursue things that interested them. My son has his been making income from his social media channels. He has his own recyling business that he has been running since he was 15. But that is the advantage of homeschooling.

      But you’re right when you go to public school there wasn’t time to pursue our true passions in life. (At least there wasn’t for me.)

      Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
