<div class="bbWrapper">Hey I was wondering in terms of books, movies or articles which authors have inspired you for your entrepreneurial path or at least to think: I should do things better or differently than others.<br /> <br /> In my case a really good one is Robert Greene from &quot;The 48 Laws of Power&quot;-&quot;Mastery&quot;, I also like Krishnamurti &quot;Think on these things&quot; and the movie &quot;Fight Club&quot;. Any recommendations or pieces of work that has inspired you? <br /> <br /> *These apart from the obvious ones from MJ of course <span class="smilie smilie--emoji" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8" data-shortname=":D">😀</span></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">For me, I&#039;m generally business-driven ever since I knew myself, but as we know, a lot of the books which covered this topic were either exceptionally vague or offered advice the author did not use to obtain their success, so for me (without being a kiss up) MJ truly inspired me through both books, because, not only did he share his personal journey, but, his delivery was powerful.<br /> <br /> The one thing that I recognised about both books was that if I fail, it&#039;s because I chose not to act, the books spelt out philosophies which can also apply to building success in all aspects of life.<br /> <br /> Within the books, he recommended other books worth reading, which I will be getting my hands on AND, I&#039;ve seen a lot of our contributors here on the forum with excellent books too which I also will be putting my hands onto.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Ayn Rand writes some interesting books.</div>
