Hey man welcome to the forum, yea like @andyandy said, start with the Millionaire Fastlane . That's what this forum is all about, and that is probably the most influential book you'll read on business and wealth creation. It will also help you in shifting your mindset greatly, which should help you in the personal development area.

"We must be self-made or never-made, whether we go to college or work in the fields. One teacher can be serviceable to a thousand of the sort who intend to make themselves, but a thousand teachers cannot help one of the other sort. Heredity and environment and will are the great deciding factors in every life."

This is where I'm at at the moment:

Finding an existing problem/industry and then finding the "dollarization" of that product.

Selling back to the customer is easy when you offer the true value - how they will make money by using your product.

Anyone can say "use my product because it is more efficient and saves you time"

Once you add a $ to that comment you receive the big value of your product!

"use my product as you'll save $X on each sheet"... "it's actually costing you $X by not using this product, can you afford to not use it?"

Two books that tell you in a nutshell how to do this?

SPIN Selling.

and.

How to become a Rainmaker.

Once you read these books you'll realise how you can add value to ANY industry. Ideas will start to flow more easier.

Think Neo in the Matrix when he starts seeing clearly at the end of the film. It opens the door to extremely great value on any product/service.

Either my internet is broken or this site is.
If I click on "Sales, Marketing, Copywriting" for example, it just doesn't load anything. All white.

Could somebody recommend me some books about "Sales, Marketing, Copywriting"? What are the most valuable pieces to begin with?

Thank you in advance!

Like I mentioned above: the site doesn't really work for me. As soon as I try to Filter or go to the next page, it just stays all white. No books are shown.

Same. I get the first page of the store showing up but when I click on 2 or 3 I get a blank area where the books should be.

Edit: Hey, I tried using Firefox and opening the other pages in a new tab and that worked. Maybe it is an issue with Chrome?

Using Chrome, too.
Thanks for the hint!

Thanks for pointing this out, I was starting to doubt my ability to post valid links.


Alternative way for Chrome users: Forum > your vehicle (you!) > Fastlane Bookstore

Read ready, fire, aim.

All you need to know after TMF . Then execute or read on specific problems coming up along the fastlane way.

that's right.

it seems people forget about the innergame. business is the outergame and not the only part of the formula for success


without the right innergame, reading business books leads nowhere because success starts within us.



what's the point to read business books if we don't have the mental strenght to fight obstacles ?

Needless to talk about TMFL, but Relentless was such a slap in the face. Loved it.
