3 Books every Entrepreneur must read

Hello, Everyone.

Books have made me everything I am. They have been my mentors in almost every area of my life. They have influenced and improved my mind, finances, health, social life, and everything I do. They correct me when I make mistakes, they guide me through difficult paths, they inspire me to dream and then help me achieve those dreams. Books have been my critics, my motivators, my teachers, and my entertainers. If books have improved my life in all possible ways, how could I not want to read more?

Hey, I am Abhishek and today I am going to share the three books that every entrepreneur should read. These are three books that have had a tremendous impact on my life, how I think about business and I hope they have the same impact on you.

1)**THE FRED FACTOR **
The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborne, and this is a book about delighting your customers. It is the story of the mail carrier who passionately loves his job and who genuinely cares about the people he serves. Because of that, he is constantly going the extra mile handling the mail – and sometimes watching over the houses – of the people on his route, treating everyone he meets as a friend. Where others might see delivering mail as monotonous drudgery, Fred sees an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those he serves. and you think about being a postman, it could be a boring job. You're doing the same thing over and over and over and over again, every single day, but Fred finds a way to get to know his customers, to watch over their houses when he knows they're not home or on vacation, to always look for ways to delight and surprise them. And so, if you have a business where you personally are involved in dealing with customers, which will be most people, or if you have people on your team who are responsible for dealing with customers, give them this book. It's a short read. Super fast read. It'll change your mindset on how to work with customers. Pick it up.

2)THE GO-GIVER
The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This is an awesome book, another quick read. It is, what, 125 pages. Pretty easy to sift through. You could probably get through in one sitting as well, and this book is all about giving and helps change your mindset from being a taker and saying here are my goals and I got to go out and take what I can to realizing that to accomplish your goals, you have to give to other people, help others do what they're trying to do, help others accomplish their goals. And in turn, they're going to come back and help you, and often the path to reaching your goal is totally unexpected. And it's going to come as a result of helping other people. So, it totally changed my mindset of what I needed to do in business and not just go and try to reach and take my goals, but to help others along the path. It's an inspiring story. You can't help but feel great after reading it. You can't help but feel changed after reading it. You want to go out and make the world a better place.It's an uplifting, positive, awesome story.

3)TRUMP: THE ART OF THE DEAL
Donald Trump, The Art of the Deal. This is one of my favorite books because it helps you think big. One of the biggest problems with a lot of entrepreneurs is you're stuck in your current bubble. The environment that you create for yourself is holding you back where you are. How do you bust through? How do you think bigger? How do you go out and do something that's going to change the world, where nobody in your family has ever done that before, when none of your friends have that kind of ambition? So, how do you surround yourself with those kind of people? I was reading Donald Trump, Art of the Deal, and it just inspired me to want to do more, to think outside my comfort zone. And this is something that you need to do as an entrepreneur. If you want to accomplish big things, if you want to achieve big goals, you have to believe, you got to believe that you can do it. And so, how do you get that confidence when you've never done it, nobody in your family's done it, nobody in your social networks have done it? You can surround yourself with people like Donald Trump. Read this book. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the practice of deal-making. It’s the most streetwise business book there is—and the ultimate read for anyone interested in achieving money and success, and knowing the man behind the spotlight. You will be inspired. You will be ready to take action. You'll be ready to go out and conquer big dreams. It'll give you that extra motivational boost, and you can apply it to your business. Check it out, Trump: Art of the Deal.
