If you’re looking to start up, it’s crucial to find seasoned mentors whom you can trust to provide you to right advice when you need it in the course of starting and running your business. But if you don’t have access to such people, there can be an easier way: books.
Yet not all startup books are alike, and frankly not all of them are remotely useful. But there are those that are make critical reading – TravelOutThere.com has put together in an infographic a great list of 10 books they feel every aspiring entrepreneur, small biz owner or wannabe traveller should read – and we agree with most of their choices.
Check it out below (and if you want to find out more about each book, we’ve put in the links to Amazon after the infographic):
- “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World“
- “Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business“
- “Rework” (our review here)
- “Losing My Virginity: How I Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way“
- “Steve Jobs” (our review here)
- “The Alchemist“
- “Freakonomics“
- “Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life“
- “The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More“
- “Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…And Others Don’t” (our review here)
For a different take on the topic, I’d recommend “Selling Steve Jobs’ Liver: A Story of Startups, Innovation, and Connectivity in the Clouds”
