If you are new to Entrepreneurship then here are 26 awesome books you should consider reading


reading quoteThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey

In The 7 habits of Highly Effective People, author Stephen R. Covey presents a holistic, integrated, and principle-centered approach for solving personal and professional problems. With penetrating insights and pointed anecdotes, Covey reveals a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, service, and human dignity–principles that give us the security to adapt to change and the wisdom and power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates.


Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill

Think and grow rich  has been called the “Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature” and was the first book to address what makes a winner.

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill draws on stories of Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and other millionaires of his generation to illustrate his principles.

Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) enjoyed a long and successful career as a lecturer, an author, and a consultant to business leaders. Think and Grow Rich is the all-time bestseller, having sold 15 million copies worldwide, that sets the standard for motivational thinking.

The Lean Startup – Eric Reis

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable.  The Lean startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way that companies are built and new products are launched.

Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.

Remember when you overheard your parents talking about the weekly budget; well it is time for you to construct one of those for yourself.

It can even help you figure out how much money you are actually free to spend.
List Expenses
In order to create a comprehensive budget , you need to take every little expense into account. This will include your fare if you are just using public transportation or gas money if you are lucky enough to have your own car. It is also smart to set aside a food budget that you can adhere to. Figure out the prices of the dining joints that are near your office, and find the one that you like best. If their prices are inexpensive, then that is
