5 Books every aspiring entrepreneur should read!

Every day more and more people want to get out of the “rat race”, quit their boring 9 to 5 job and start a business or at least start working from home as a freelancer.

A mistake most people make is quitting their jobs and start businesses without knowing about them, without the proper preparation, without having any money and most importantly without having the right mindset and the right skillset.

Now, educating yourself and preparing your mind to be ready for that new adventure should be number one in your to do list.

And maybe the best way to do that is to find people that are where you wish to be in the same journey, people with more experience than you that can prevent you to make a couple of mistakes and can motivate you to keep going forward until you reach your goals.

Today we have a lot of information at our disposal, mainly billions of videos online that can teach us a lot too, but in my opinion, aside of being coached personally by that mentor you admire, books are one of the best ways to really get in this successful entrepreneur’s minds.

So, here I compile 5 of what most successful people agree are some of the musts on your learning journey to become a successful entrepreneur, in no particular order:
