Top 10 Books I’ve Read This Year

In no specific order:

Entreleadership – Dave Ramsey

– This is the gold standard of running a business.  I keep a copy in the top drawer of my desk.

Love Does – Bob Goff

Art and Fear – David Bayles and Ted Orland

– When fear leaves art happens.

Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill

– I was told by everyone to read this. I still listen to it in my car weekly. It’s not about money either…its about designing what you call a rich life.

Simple Numbers – Greg Crabtree and Beverly Blair Harzog

– This book redefined the basics of profit, margin, and expenses for me.

The 4-Hour Work Week – Timothy Ferris

Blue Ocean Strategy – W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne

– Dominate – don’t compete.

Delivering Happiness – Tony Hsieh

– I now have a note behind my desk that says “Out zappos Zappos.”
