Reads
Michael Gerber - E-Myth and
E-Myth Revisited. Gerber focuses on how to work ON
your business and not just IN it. I make this required
reading for my business owner clients.
Harry
Beckwith - What Clients Love. His work is
for those who have to put themselves in front of customers
a lot. Clients love you over your company, your product
or service or your prices. I use this with clients who
are in sales.
Jim
Collins - Good to Great. Perfect for executives
and CEOs. If you're building an organization or trying
to re-inspire one, get this book.
Jim
Loehr and Tony Schwartz - The Power of Full Engagement.
This is required reading for my clients who want to focus
on balance. This premise is based on choosing priorities,
using time available to you and using scheduled down
time to reenergize you.
Paul
Hawken - Growing a Business. Founder of Smith
and Hawken, the premier mail-order garden tool company,
he shows that the successful business is an expression
of an individual person.
Napoleon
Hill - Think and Grow Rich. A classic that
is still widely read, particular by solo-professionals
and salespeople. I found it very motivating and inspiring.
It moved me to action.
