I have put up a list of 10 favorites, which are essential for every small business owner.

1. “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael E. Gerber — Lack of systems is one of the reasons small businesses fail. In this book, the author not only explains why systems are important but how to install them as well. This book will help you grow your business in a predictable and productive way and the end result will be both happier employees and happier customers.

2. “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey — One of the all-time best sellers teach us how to become more effective by balancing the personal and professional at the same time. Stephen Covey, with his holistic approach to solving personal and professional problems, fills the book with anecdotes from both his worlds.

3. “Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… And Others Don’t by Jim Collins — In this great book,

Collins answers the question why some companies achieve enduring greatness and others don’t. He shares his extensive research of 6 000 articles and 2 000 pages of interviews and reveals what it is that makes top companies tick.

4. “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie — This one is an oldie but is a must read on every entrepreneur’s read list. Solid network and good relationships are the foundations of successful business, and that is what makes this book a great read. It is full of techniques for enhancing relationships that can help you in getting what you want out of people (in a good way!).

5. “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert T. Kiyosaki — This is probably the number one book on personal finances of all time. The author busts the myth that you need to earn a high income in order to be rich. He explains the difference very well between working for money and having your money work for you.
