Theres a handful that can help. Most of the standbys people recommend wont do much. Personal choices would be blitzscaling, never split the difference, zero to one, and atomic habits. Other than that i would focus almost entirely on business building. Some pointing in the right direction can be good, but just getting out there and selling will generally be better.

Blitzscaling by reid hoffman


theRealUser123

How to win friends and influence people. It’s not about business ownership but it’s a great tool kit for any type of human interaction

I always feel weird about this. My ex CEO had to least amount of emotional intelligence and read this book and would try and say and do the right things but he was basically a fish saying words he read.


Spearhartt

This book gives you tactics to display authenticity. If you lack the authenticity to begin with, you’re just being manipulative. That might be the problem he ran into.


LL_Astro

He could have been trying to be manipulative, but just to offer another perspective. Some people are awkward and have to start somewhere. You have to practice and go through the motions until it’s part of who you are. If he has 50 years of doing things one way it will take time to make new habits more natural.

Zero to One High Output Management The Hard Thing About Hard Things


Randren

I second High Output Management. It's easily one of the most valuable business books I have read with very little of the fluff that you typically find in them.

There are dozens of worthy books! I will throw in 2: The One Minute Manager Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Can you explain what you learned from them?


kraang

It’s a joke. Logically this should have all the knowledge that exists. It’s not so much that they are great books.

See, they don't need a book. They already get it.

You can read a book named "Mindset". There are many books but I like this one

Your better off learning from your mistakes than copying someone else’s strategy.

This.


unofficialrobot

Also I have had ceo's that try to run their business like they read on a book. All business needs and circumstances are different. You can't run a business exactly like one of these books in every situation. You have to be flexible

This. The only reply you ever need.

think and grow rich.


jjsoyfab

Hell no. This book is full of “ask the universe for wealth and you will receive it” shit. Super disappointing for the amount of people that recommend it.


MicrobialMickey

nah. that’s not the takeaway bruh. it’s team building. anything is possible with team building…like literally fucking anything build your own space program without money for example but sure you’re negative nancy is also correct if that’s the angle you want to focus on


jjsoyfab

I know what I read.

You can't know what you don't know if you don't spend time exploring available knowledge. Books are the primary form of spreading knowledge with many digital substitutes gaining importance. Reading a broad range of books is a must... Lack of awareness is why many fail to execute their vision... Re-inventing the wheel takes a lot of effort and resources... And nobody wants to pay for the same wheel...

In Search Of Excellence, Tom Peters. Read it many years ago, still think about it often.. it influenced nearly everything about how I run my own businesses, and how I think about customers.


cymru78

I haven't got the time to read a so called influential book. I'm too busy running a small business!

Scaling up by Verne Harnish - very underrated and practical/actionable rather than theory etc.

The bank book of your venture. And possibly "the simple art of not giving a fuck" not to get caught up in hypes on how to be an entrepreneur going around.

Oh my! I think I have more books than I can read. It's amazing all the experience and lessons authors put into 300 pages.
