Struggling for motivation? In this blog post, I want to cover the our top 10 business motivation books of all time and give you an overview of each one. If your current motivation levels need a little extra oomph, then these ten books could be just what you need to get yourself back on track.
I have read most of these books more than once. All of them are actionable, insightful and applicable to day to day business tasks. They have helped me in one way or another take control of my life and put businesses on the right path for more than 20 years now.
So with no further ado, here are my top 10 business motivation books of all time.
1. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Some would argue that this book is the greatest self-help book of all time. It has sold over 100 million copies since its original publication in 1937. It contains 13 principles that you can use to help you achieve successive steps toward your own personal riches. This book is a must read for anyone that has a dream of getting from where they are now to where they want to be in business and life.
2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey
This book is particularly relevant to anybody who has ever been, or ever will be, in a leadership role. It contains seven habits that can help you achieve success and lead a more productive and fulfilling life. The book has been a New York Times best seller for over 20 years and has sold around 15 million copies worldwide.
3. Zero to One by Peter Thiel
This book describes the idea of "zero to one". The idea is that an entrepreneur should start with a preconceived product or service that can be delivered in a way that it is either unique, or non-existent. Thiel's book explains how he created PayPal and explains how he went from zero to one and ultimately billions of dollars in revenue.
4. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
This is the book that has shaped many of my life decisions. It's about creating financial freedom. But it's also about dreaming big, challenging the status quo and making "bigger better" happen through your own efforts. It's a must read for anyone that wants to make more money, lower costs and work smarter.
5. Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time by Brian Tracy
If you have ever found yourself putting off what needs to be done in favour of doing something that is easier or more fun, then you will find this book particularly useful. It attempts to help you overcome procrastination and get more done with your time and energy. It contains 21 actionable steps for self-motivation that can help you work more effectively. It has sold over 3 million copies since its first publication in 1986.
6. The 4-hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
This book is about cutting out all of the things that get in the way of doing that which is most important. It's about using automation and outsourcing to get rid of all of the time-consuming tasks to create more time for what you enjoy doing. It's also about figuring out how to work four hours per week while still making an income, saving up 90% of your earnings, and allowing yourself to live anywhere in the world you want to.
7. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
A Fantastic book, it covers some absolutely essential business skills. It's main focus is about being a better communicator, but it also covers topics such as conflict resolution, team-work and political awareness. It's written in an easy to read style that makes it extremely digestible. I have read this book over 10 times for one simple reason, "it works".
8. The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
This is another book on self-improvement that has some great insights into how you can take control of your life. It's about how all of the actions that we take during the day have a snowballing effect on other aspects of our lives. It's written for anybody who wants to take control of their life and achieve success in both business and life.
9. Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
This book will help you understand how your mental state can affect your physiology. It can help lead to better performance in both absence of stress, and when under pressure. It contains advice on how to deal with it in different situations that are likely to come up for you.
10. Maximum Achievement by Anthony Robbins
This book contains many of the methods that Anthony Robbins used to help his clients achieve success. It has an incredible combination of personal success stories, as well as short and simple tips and tricks. I would suggest this book to anyone who is looking for a little more than just the regular self-help book and wants to take what they read seriously.
