Hi All,

I am looking for a list of the Top 10 Business Start Up/Entreprenurship books that should be on the shelf that have influenced your thinking and guided you through business start-up (for in my case an Internet service based business).

I know the lists will vary, but am curious what some of you consider the best of the best books that contributed/aided/guided you in your particular success or journey.

If some of you wouldn't mind posting your Top 10, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks...
Steven
