Think Like A Tycoon

This book is long out of print so if you can get it, do. His story of his success is inspiring.

I started from scratch, without money, special skills or contacts and founded eight totally unrelated part-time businesses. I watched as each of them earned over a million in three years or less. It’s simple once you know how. I discovered a secret formula that every single super-rich person seems to have used to gain wealth. I began applying it and in six months I was a millionaire. I have never looked back.

While I made my fortune I had fun too. I managed to go to an average of five parties a week. Plus two or three concerts, plays, or movies. As for my love-life… I had more companionship in a year than most people have in a lifetime! Now you can do the same.

Endless Referrals

I learned how to use referrals with this book. It is amazing how by helping others you also help yourself.

Using this book, thousands of professionals and entrepreneurs have turned casual contacts into solid sales opportunities with Bob Burg’s proven relationship-building techniques. In this completely updated edition of Endless Referrals, he shows you how to: turn every contact into a sales opportunity, dramatically increase your business without spending more time or money, identify the most profitable contacts, network the Internet, set up a successful home-based business, take the intimidation out of telephoning, overcome fear of rejection, succeed in multilevel marketing and mail order marketing, position yourself as an expert, and mark yourself for success.

How To Be Rich

This is an oldie but a goody. Written back in the 1960’s. Getty presents how he became the richest man in the world. This is a must book for your success library.

“There are no tricks, no magical incantations or sorcerer’s potions which can make a business or a business person an overnight success. Many qualities and much hard work are needed, as are innumerable other elements, before a businessman or woman can achieve success and reach the millionaire level. The various qualities, elements and factors which other successful businessmen and I have found to be essential or helpful are subjects of this book.”

Atlas Shrugged

This was the first book I read after deciding to learn more about business and self-development. The Oxford Club recommended it to me. It opened my eyes. The people that are depressed and negative strive to bring down self-made people. It is an incredible story that reflects todays society. Highly recommended to start with.

With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, “Who is John Galt?”, Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.

Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world–and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man’s body, but about the murder–and rebirth–of man’s spirit.

* Atlas Shrugged is the “second most influential book for Americans today” after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club
