What books have helped you all?

[sahil123720@gmai]

Hi all,

I wanted to ask what books (outside of MJ DeMarco's fabulous publishings) have assisted you all in your entrepreneurial journeys? I am interested in anything you all have to offer, particularly when it comes to mindset and discipline.

Thanks,
Sahil.

How to get friends and influence people.

How to get friends and influence people.

I tend to look for books that help me overcoming a current challenge.

For example the book "Deep work" has helped me finding and blocking the time in my schedule to do the more profound work that will improve my level as a teacher / or doing the transfirmational tasks that will help me scale my business.
I struggled doing quality work these last years with all the distractions, administrative tasks etc.

Another big helper is the book "who not how". Because I try to do too many things myself, and waste time. Instead I try to reach people first now instead of trying to do/learn something where I'm incompetent.
I also learn to outsource some tasks that take too much time and have little value. (For example I paid someone to change 350 smartphone screenshots into éditable and printable pdfs for my students. It saved me some months of work. .)

Once you have read the classical books, then good books dépend on what you need to learn I would say. There are many hidden gems also

Completely agree on this. I tend to look for/read books that help me with my current challenges or weaknesses in various aspects of life. I recently read "Happy, Sexy, Millionaire" and found it to be super insightful.

Deep Work is on my list actually! Here are a few others that I've found to be useful throughout my journey thus far:

- Psychology of Money
- Mindset
- Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
- Think Again
