I've been an avid reader since I was young like 16 years old, first business books that I've ever read is Rich Dad Poor Dad, then it starts from there. Since then, I've read probably over 30 business books from then until now. But these 3 books are the ones that from time to time I would pick it up and read it again some of the chapters to think and ponder again, these are some of the lessons I learned in the books. Without further a due, let's get started!
1)
How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life
By Scott Adams
This book talks about all aspects of your life, from fitness till financial success. key lessons here are goals are for losers, systems are for winners. Losing 30 lbs in 1 month is a goal, but eating healthy and running every day is a system. Landing a 10,000 dollar clients is a goal but calling 20 clients and having 5 appointments a day is a system. Buy this book, it will benefit you I promise, I read this book when I was in form 4 approximately age 16, now I'm 22 and reading back it was an AHA moment for me.
This is not a serious boring business book, it's fun and humorous as well.
Why you should read this book?!
It covers all aspects of success including personal health, financial, mental side all in it in a simple acceptable way.
It gives you the optimistic ways of looking things when you're starting a business because the more skills you developed, the more it will increase the chance of getting success, which he wrote in a chapter "The Math of Success".
Also, don't follow your passion, follow a system that makes money. People who succeed in business talk about they are passionate about their success, but those who are not don't get the chance to talk about it because passion is a reasonable sound good acceptable answer for all walks of life, he said. After a few drinks and hangouts, most of them would open up and say it's a combination of a few things and admit that they are smarter than the average people, figured out stuff that the average people don't that makes them successful. So, don't always follow your passion guys, it won't pay the bills sometimes.

Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike
By Phil Knight (founder of NIKE, Inc)
How can everyone on earth never even read this book, this is probably the must-read business book for those people who are running their own businesses or not. Because the author wrote it in a way that when you read it, you won't feel like a business book, but actually it feels like watching a movie or reading a storybook. The language used is simple and he writes it in a way it's like you are sitting next beside him all the time.
From the brink of bankruptcy of NIKE and how he pays (i don't know how much exactly) 3 dollars per hour for a designer to design his swoosh logo and now its worth 26 billion dollars for that logo. This book although it is 386 pages long, but you can read it within a day or 2 if you're devoted to his story, I watch one of his interviews he said that this book took him 3 years to write it and it will be the one and only book he will ever write for his legacy, much like the Robert Kuok's memoir.
How a shy college kid from Portland Oregon, conquered the world with NIKE. Buy this book through the links given.
Facts:
Most of you guys didn't know that before NIKE started, Phil's Knight was actually selling Onitsuka Tiger track shoes and was the main distributor for the US market.
Before the name NIKE was given, the founder actually liked the name Dimension Six for his shoe company eventually all his team rejected this name.
Why you should read this book?!
Because last time I check, he's worth 13 billion dollars. So, he's loaded and know what he's talking about and you're not, so shame on you for not reading this amazing book. (get it on the link from Amazon)

The 10 Pillars of Wealth: Mind-Sets of the World's Richest People
By Alex Becker
This is the book I've read recently this year as I'm doing internet marketing now, and look through his video on YouTube and it teaches me a lot of things about the mindset of a successful entrepreneur.
Why you should read this book?!
From broke military toilet cleaning staff to a multi-millionaire digital entrepreneur in 3 years time, founded 3 software company, KonKer, Source Wave & Market Hero.
He wrote 10 pillars of wealth (each pillar is considered 1 chapter) of success in his book. In the end, he also gives you the best way to start a business the RIGHT WAY! I should read this book much earlier before jumping in on Amazon FBA right away.
Guys, this is the book I've personally read through them page by page cover to cover more than 3 times/ book. Because these 3 books to date are the books that I would read over and over again, personally.
These are the book that is personally benefited me as well and I think it should benefit you too!
Thank you for reading!
