Many of these books are missing links. In progress!
Business
How to make big money in your own small business: unexpected rules every small business owner needs to know, Jeffrey J. Fox. Direct commandments, such as selling is job number one. Short chapters and practical advice, IF you put it to use!
Megatrends 2010: the rise of conscious capitalism, Growth of spirituality, “conscious capitalism,” down-to-earth leaders, values-driven consumers, conscious solutions, and socially responsible investing in the corporate world. The book includes a list of resources.
General
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. Just read it. Thought provoking, inspiring, unique.
Outliers: The Story of Success. Verifies what I’ve always said: takes a LONG and focused time to really learn meaningful and lasting skills and information. Provocative take on why some succeed and some don’t. Don’t take it as gospel, but IF you ponder this topic, some interesting ideas. Minimal biz info, but great for Gladwell fans.
Blink: the power of thinking without thinking, Malcolm Gladwell. Those who quickly filter out extraneous information generally make better decisions than those who discount their first impressions. Cites implications for such areas as emergency situations and marketing, plus some notable exceptions.
Legal
Clicking through: a survival guide for bringing your company online, Jonathan Ezor, attorney. I’ve NEVER seen ANY book which discusses legal and other business issues written for the average person. Format of book is tall and narrow, hard to keep open if you want to write or type notes. Don’t let that stop you.
Marketing and Sales
301 do-it-yourself marketing ideas: from America’s most innovative small companies, Sam Decker. This compact book is easy-to-read, with ideas easily re-imagined and marketed online.
Creating Sales Velocity, Matthew Ferry. Inspiring compact book.
Online email
Send: the essential guide to email for office and home, David Shipley. Today’s version of The Elements of Style, set rules for good writing. ALL writers need read this. I’m appalled at the sloppiness of most business emails. This and more info on the net, but this is a easy place to start.
Productivity, Time Management
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, David Allen. Straightforward, one-page flowchart: copy and post near your computer to repeatedly consult. That alone is worth the purchase price. Allen’s ingenious Two-Minute Rule: if anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now, in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term.
Social Media Sites: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
Twitter power: how to dominate your market one tweet at a time, Joel Comm.” Twitter confuses or intrigues you? Tips so you will be noticed, read and followed. I got from library, because I will not fund his politics.
What’s stopping you?: shatter the 9 most common myths keeping you from starting your own business, Bruce R Barringer. Narrow volume is perfect to dispel the main reasons people are fearful running their own business. Prospective entrepreneurs can believe, “I can do this. It’s not beyond my reach.”
Books are my passion. I am addicted to knowledge. I can’t imagine a day without devouring info in print or online. I’ve spent more happy, fulfilled moments reading all kinds of info since I was a young child. I’m now immersed in these life-changing, life-affirming books. I’ve heard of many years ago, but never knew how to integrate them into my life. Now they have more meaning as these wise, sage authors guide me in my Network Marketing journey. POWERFUL stuff!
