During the month of May 2022, I shared all of my favorite books for Get Caught Reading month on Enerpace’s social media. These are books I’ve read and applied myself. They’re also the ones I recommend and gift to clients. The first week on social media was all about Business Building & Entrepreneurship!
- “You Need to Be a Little Crazy” by Barry Moltz – An oldie but goodie! Read this before starting a business. Barry shares all the mistakes he made so you don’t have to make them! If you are considering working with a partner, this book is a must have so you’ll know how to protect yourself.
- “The Entrepreneur Equation” – Another ‘straight talk’ must-read before becoming an entrepreneur. Carol coined the term “jobby” – which is a business that doesn’t pay you enough to live on, so it’s really a hobby. Make sure the idea you’re passionate about can cover all the things your employer provides now that you’re probably taking for granted!
- “The E Myth” – It’s a classic for a reason. This small business “bible” provides entrepreneurial wisdom from start-up through maturity.
- “Traction – Get a Grip on Your Business” – I recommend this one to organizations of all sizes, both for-profit and non-profit. It provides structured mechanisms for getting goal clarity, running productive meetings, and keeping an organization focused. It also demonstrates the importance of getting very clear on if you have the right person in the right seat. My thanks to Paul Detlefs, Partner at The Traction Group, for introducing me to the EOS methodology!
Enjoy Reading!
