Being an Entrepreneur might be the coolest fad in town, but by no means is it an easy one. It takes way too much out of a person — physically, mentally and emotionally. It’s like taking a vow that from that day onwards, you are going to put one thing (your startup) before every other thing in your life — your comfort, your joy, your family, your friends and, at times, even your peace of mind!

Entrepreneurship can be a tough and long journey for many people. Some get lucky and succeed the very first time. One of the best ways to get a head start on your professional endeavors is to learn from the successful individuals that have come before you. There is no better way to do this then to pick up some books and start reading the works of the successful individuals that have made their mark in the business world. Here are ten great books, written by business professionals that talk about their own journey and their own rise to the top of their fields.
