I did a lot of reading growing up and loved going to the library to find my next book/adventure. Than later in life I went to law school and my appetite for reading shriveled up . . . Now during these past two years, I have been doing a lot of reading and it is changing my life!!
The first two books that did it for me were Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
I would also like to add that I think some of these books can be quite empowering . . in fact I have one team/staff member who asked asked me on his own if I could recommend any books to him and I started him off on Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
Right now I am reading The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Ferriss also talks about Two Truisms:
1. Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.
2. Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.
From this moment forward remember this: What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it. Efficiency is still important, but it is useless unless applied to the right things.
WOW! That’s pretty powerful if you truly digest and comprehend the message and its power! WOW!
Nice post.
I drifted in from the YoungEntrepreneur forum and like what I'm reading.
I have recently rekindled a love of reading and the library for the same reasons.
E-myth is a phenomenal book. I began reading it around the time I started working in an acquaintance's startup company. It made me realise that I was his "Harry." I tried to get him interested in the book so that he could use it to change his company but people are stubborn about remaining ignorant
Thanks for the other book recommendations. I will try to check those out. Cheers!

Congratulations on all of your success! Especially the jump from J.O.B to Serial Entrep! I'm also reading Ferriss' '4Hour Workweek' and still have yet to finish Gerber's 'E-Myth Mastery: The 7 essential disciplines for building a world class company.' I've also recently started out towards building a name for myself [from scratch] and even though I have MANY hurdles to overcome; every obstacle I've come across is pertinent to my overall success - I've come to accept. Best of luck with your TV series "StartUp!" I was wondering when someone would actually produce this sort of show. I'd love to participate but unfortunately I probably wouldn't qualify at the moment. Maybe one day our legacies will cross paths to create something profound! In Success, Kari Fox
