What a great list. I must admit, I’ve only read a few of these so far, but I’ve added many of them to my to-do list. I especially like “Think and Grow Rich” and “Thriving on Chaos.” If I’m not attempting to do four things at once, something’s wrong.
There are a few books I’ve mentioned on my site recently that I’d recommend to any small business owner: “The E-Myth,” “Raving Fans,” and “Revolutionary Wealth.” If you’re just starting out, “The E-Myth” is a must read.
@Kelly – Wow, you must have one enormous nightstand. Thanks for the extra links. I’ll have to browse around a bit.
Yeah, it’s huge. A former medical cart, I think. Medical-inspired was very “in” about ten years ago, which means it’s out now (but that article’s already on my blog). In my bedroom, being a little out is okay. Clients don’t see it.
I don’t know if I thrive on chaos, but since it’s in ready supply, a ever-renewable resource even, I may as well try to!
And now E-Myth is on the way from Amazon because the waiting list for a BookMooch is looong. I’ve seen it referred to least 4 times this week and need to read what I’ve been missing. Raving Fans was on my Wishlist from visiting your site, and I just added Revolutionary Wealth.
I am reading Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” book, and it’s funny the reaction I have gotten from people who have also read it. Some people think it’s too “woo-woo” with no science behind it, and that it’s pretty much a crock. Others say that it is the best business book out there. I agree with the latter. What I have taken from it is simply “know what you want, and don’t give up.” In that regard, some of the things I have applied that theory to have worked out splendidly for me..
Nice list! I liked Think and Grow Rich too. But, I really love 4 Hour Workweek. Fooled by Randomness is next on my list (loved The Black Swan). Right now I’m reading Options Made Easy by Guy Cohen.

Hey, Crystal, I popped over here from Naomi’s IttyBiz. You’ve got some neat articles here!
There’s a couple of books up there on my next-up list, and several I’ve already read. Thanks.
If you’re running low on business reading, check out this list I wrote last week. It’s neat to see what’s on other people’s shelves.
I’m going to go subscribe now, so keep up the good work!
Regards,
Kelly
Hi Kelly,
Many thanks and welcome!
I had a great time reading your nightstand list and posted my own in the comments. You’ve so enjoyed “Never Eat Alone”, I’ll have to find a copy…
If you’re up for a peek at all my books (not just the business ones), visit my LibraryThing catalog
Best,
Crystal

Thanks! Just what I need, more books!
