    15 Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read

    http://www.businessinsider.com/requi...-by-ayn-rand-1

    Sample:
    Charlie O'Donnell: "I don't know any book that sums up the entrepreneurial passion and spirit better than The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand: 'The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.'"

              I've read 4 of the books out of their list. Of those 4, there are 2 that I can't really see what they're doing there at all.

                          None of the people who made it big made it by reading books. Books are like penis enlargement pills - they sell a dream. If you're a failure in life incapable of achieving big things, reading failed books will not turn your life around and make it successful. It'll keep you dreaming, though. Carry on and read the books, if your life's goal is to be a dreamer forever.

                              Yes, books are for chumps. Education is for the weak.

                                          People get so caught up in reading the next great book that they never apply the principles that they learned in the prior book. I was reading a fair amount for a while there, then I stopped. Too many things to implement to be running around to reading the next great thing.

                                              No mention of The Holy Bible. :-(

                                                      Word.

                                                      I used to read those kinds of book veraciously, and the more I investigated the back story on most of the people selling business books on "how to make it big" the more I've come to find out that they've acquired their wealth through dirty dealings, and good 'ol fashioned political interference. The old saying "Behind Every Great Fortune There Is an Even Greater Crime" has never rang truer. These people are no smarter than the rest, just more criminal, and manipulative.

                                                          Give the book a chance
                                                          His "rich dad" made him learn things the hard way... it's rumored that the whole thing is made up, but alot of things ol' KiKi says are very insightful
