Here’s a list of 6 recently read books:
Anything You Want by Derek Sivers
A short book by Sivers who founded CD Baby on the things he learned as an entrepreneur. Its less than 100 pages and makes a quick read for all small business owners strapped for time.
The Truth About You by Marcus Buckingham
A book, DVD and workbook bought at the closing down sale of Harris at Great World City in Singapore. It is an interesting book about identifying your strengths and working towards making your life revolve around your strengths. Strength is defined as not something you may necessarily good at but what energizes you before, during and after the activity.
The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G Allen
Another book bought at the closing down sale of Harris at Great World City in Singapore. This fairly dated book has timeless principles on creating wealth through clear goals, positive mindsets, dream team, leveraging and networking.
A Book for People Who Want to Become Stinking Rich But Aren’t Quite Sure How by Benrik
A quirky collection of 150 ideas that range from the bizarre to highly plausible ideas. It is a short funny read and will surely stimulate your brain if you are searching for business ideas.
The Art of Persistence by Sanjay Burman
I did not know Sanjay Burman from Adam when I picked up his slim book at the library to catch up with my reading schedule but it is a good book with some decent exercises on how to be more persistent in life to reach your goals. However, I think there’s a fine line between being persistence and annoyance.
The Millionaire Fastlaneby MJ DeMarco
Despite its gimmicky title, I loved the book which basically provides an alternative to the conventional method of getting a job, saving 10% and then retiring a millionaire by 65. MJ DeMarco defines this strategy as the slowlane and calls the gurus that advocate this strategy hypocrites because they do not follow the advice they dispense. The alternative is fastlane which basically is starting a business and making money from the business to retire comfortably without having to work your ass off until your twilight years. Prepare to be provoked.
