Jeffrey's comments from the Business Book Discussion group.

If you're looking for a solid foundation in character, motivation, purpose, attitude, etc. Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill are essential. I think too many people avoid the foundation of any business: one's self and his / her character, weaknesses, shortcomings, and strengths. If you're looking for books on marketing, anything Dan Kennedy (A good one is How to Succeed in Business by Breaking All the Rules). Investing and Wealth? Robert Kiyosaki. Wealth alone, Stephen Pierce's Secrets to Creating Wealth. Investing? Anything by The Motley Fools. Sales? Og Mandino. Mental attitude? Think Big and Kick Ass, Donald Trump. I'm currently reading When Markets Collide by Mohamed El-Erian which talks about what's going on behind all the current disruption. That's about it for now, unless you can think of another category.

It depends on what you mean by "business." What aspect of business? Investing? Entrepreneurship? Focus? Motivation? Grant Writing? Business Proposal? Etc.

jp,

Don't see the list. Is it up yet?

Tab,

Sounds great! I've already read Canfield's The Power of Focus. Canfield, Hansen, and Hewitt do a great job of breaking it down. If you're interested, there's also Canfield's The Success Principles. A lot more detail there. 64 principles in all.

Looking forward to it.
