Do You Want to Start Your Own Business?

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Then here’s three books you have to read.

I’m preparing for a social media course tonight. 14 businesses are gathered to hear my advice on how to market a company. I’m super nervous.

I’m adding these book tips to the end of my presentation and I figured I’d share them with you guys too. I have shared some of the books before, but I also know I have some new followers who hasn’t seen these posts.

The number one book you should read before even considering starting a company is “The $100 Startup”. I really wished I read this before I got going.
But at least I realized that I had done some things right after reading it.

Take notice of the white and yellow, and the purple book. These two helped me tremendously with planning, productivity and prioritizing the right things.

My best advice for books:

• buy a new book every time you travel

• ask for books for Christmas or birthdays

• read more non fiction books

• borrow from friends and visit second hand stores

• give the book away to a friend that you think could benefit from reading it when you’re done.

Hei @Susanne
Noen gode bøker du har der. Har lest de fleste av dem.
Liker du slike bøker så kan jeg anbefale en amerikansk forfatter som heter Robert Kiyosaki. En av mine favoritter når det kommer til selvmotviasjon og hvordan man skal tenke som selvstendig næringsdrivende.
Ellers har jeg bøtter med andre forslag så bare hyl ut hvis du vil ha noe mer å lese :)

Mvh
@Gyldenhorn

Thanks for the recommendation!!

Okumak gerçekten rahatlatıyor 🙋‍♀️

Var 100 dollar startupen noe god?

good job. keep it up

Great write up! "The $100 Startup" is the kind of business book you want to read and learn from as much as you can, but at the same time take your time to apply all you have learnt. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to start up their business!

Lykke til med presentasjonen, @susanne! Og takk for boktips :) Selv er jeg altfor dårlig på å lese ikke-fiksjon eller ikke-biologi-bøker, og jeg hadde egentlig hatt veldig godt av å prøve meg på flere slike typer bøker. Jeg tror jeg skal gi The $100 Startup en sjanse, så får vi se om denne typen bøker fungerer for meg!

Thanks! Although my "books to read" list is growing out of hand now, I've added the 100$ startup. The others I will look into! Cheers

you have suggested some great books.as a book lover ! i always prefer books as a gift and my friends anf family knows that so i get quite alot of books to read without spending too much on them.and yes old book shops comes in handy too.

thanks for sharing, really need to do what I love more, preparing myself to be more in a situation I like instead of working for a boss. goodluck with the course!

We've seen "The $100 Start-Up" in bookstores and have been tempted to buy it, but we are waiting until we really want to start our own business. Sam is still in his studies (finishes at the end of this year). Or shall we buy it and read it anyway? Pre-pre plan our business plan.
Thanks and good luck with your social media course tonight! All the best @susanne

Never hurts to buy it now and read it as many times as you need.

By the same author as the $100 start up is Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days which is also fantastic and you might want to check out.

I'm putting 90 Rules on my reading list, thank you.

Have you read The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss?

Good luck tonight! Be yourself; you have a compelling, successful story!

I will add these books to my list! thanks for sharing @susanne!!!

Great tip! I shared a book recommendation recently as well. Do you know Blinkist? It's an app that summarizes special interest literature in a 3-6 minute read each. I love it as it gives you a great first impression of the book and helps you to decide whether it's worth buying or if the summary is sufficient.

I always had this interest to start my own company but for some reason that really never happened! Maybe, it's time to dive into some of the books you posted about here and see what they make me feel!
Gave you a follow because rather interested to read more of your work!

Have heard that the $100 Startup is supposed to be a really solid book, will definitely bump that book up towards the top of my booklist.

To be honest I haven't read any of the books you listed, will cluster them into a "business building to-read" bundle and place a big order when appropriate.

Love these posts of yours, high value 🙏🏼

"Are you smart enough to work at google?" This seems a great book just from its cover (and I know its horrible to judge a book from its cover)

Thanks for this post!! I'll try to get that book~

I got to add "Rich Dar, Poor Dad" from Robert Kyosaki

Really a good read, simple, small and opens your mind a lot.
Cheers

Great post! Thanks! I'd like to add this one.. It's apparently also used at Harvard:

So, how did it go? I am sure you were awesome!

Thank you very much for the precious informations.

In the same context of what you have posted, I suggest you one of the best books that has had a positive impact on the lives of many persons:

“Think and grow rich” of NAPOLEON HILL

I think it is translated also in Norvegian” tenk og bli rik”

This is a great book 📖 😊🤙
I have a copy of it in my truck, great lunch reading. 😊

• buy a new book every time you travel

Airport bookstores are so good for finding new business books!

Thanks for sharing your recomendations with us all ! hope your social media course went well , im sure you did awesome ! ✌💕😊

This was one of the best business mindset books I ever read. I felt like it was a dose of realism. It has a clickbait title but was very valuable.

I just saw he came out with another book as well so I will probably get it.

How did your social media course go? Hope everything was fine.
The titles of the books certainly sound promising. I am thinking of ordering "The $100 startup".
Books are valueable because they can change our perception of things. I'd really like to have more time for reading in the future!

Thanks for the recommendation.😀

Wow spennende.

Skal lese det.

Virker gøy og midt i blinken for meg
