I read The Fire Starter Sessions on your recommendation and it was excellent. Thank you so much. If I could make a recommendation of my own I would suggest What’s Next by Joy Chudacoff. For women striving to achieve their goals in business or searching for new direction this is a must-read and beautifully written. http://whatsnextthebook.com/

Looking forward to reading these books.

My recommendation is ‘No Man’s Land’ by Doug Tatum.
“What to Do When your Company Is Too Big to Be Small but Too Small to Be Big”

Marie’s book is one of my favorites and is a must read for all women! I’m reading Undiet by Meghan Telpner now, which isn’t about business, but has me living so healthy that I have way more energy for my business. Up next is Tribes.

I think this post was excellent 🙂 , as I am always looking for new books to help me grow in blogging. I am currently reading “Starting on a shoestring-building a business without a bankroll” -Arnold S Goldstein , for those looking to start their own business (raises hand). SO far it is just what I need. 🙂

I really loved Simon Sinek’s book. I find myself reflecting on, “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”, daily. Thanks for posting these others. I’ll read anything by Seth Godin. Love that guy.

I recently read “Creative Intelligence” by Bruce Nussbaum. He can be pretty long winded but his main idea that everyone is a creative person, they just need to figure out how to harness their creative energies was incredibly freeing.

In reply to The Science of Happy. I think it depends what type of entrepreneur you're thinking of becoming. Larger businesses often have larger overhead. They have more employees, pay benefits, rent physical space. But the ideas in the book $100 Start-Up are about those of us who've started businesses with very little expenses & therefore most of our income is indeed profit. I only started a business 18 months ago, but thus far I actually have more stability than a lot of my other friends who find themselves laid off from companies, not in control of their work-life. Whereas when I need more income, I can choose to do more marketing or create more products. I actually think this challenging economy is a huge reason TO become an entrepreneur, specifically in the solo-prener/$100 Start-Up way. with grace & gumption, Hilary

In reply to Blog Earn Live. I read "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey and found that extremely helpful in business as well as my personal life. I am looking into reading "Lean In" by Kerry Hannon and "Delivering Happines" by Tony Hsieh next. :)

I only read The 4 hour work week and the $100 startup. Both are really great and inspiring.
I gotta find other books that you recommend. Reading doesn’t just inspire me but also gives me a lot of lessons.
Thanks for sharing this great list!

I think now is a really hard time to become an entrepreneur, especially in England. Every day a long-standing business closes and files for bankruptcy. But with the right attitude and the right mind, it may open a huge number of doors for you and your future 🙂

For those interested, I’m holding a MAC giveaway on Friday!
