If you know me well, then you know I love to read. My library is a little overwhelming. I love reading from many different sources on the same subjects because I’m able to pick up nuances and tricks from each author. I then combine all that and form my own plans!
Over the years, I’ve read countless books on entrepreneurship and business. But these are some of the ones that stick out (in no particular order). I hope this inspires you to read some new books this year! And please feel free to share your favorite book on the entrepreneurship and business in the comment section. I’m always open to suggestions.
