1 Top Books to Transform an Entrepreneur s Life danmartell.com

2 Top Books to Transform an Entrepreneur s Life Here s the truth... Second to people, books have had the greatest impact on my life. It all started with a trip to the bookstore. I was 23 years old, had started two failed companies, and was about to start on my 3rd. I was so worried of failing. I decided to look for guidance. But I wasn t a reader. Up until that point in my life, I had never read a book. I m serious... It actually took me 5 years to get out of high school because I wasn t a great student. Then it all changed when I saw a book called Love is The Killer App. It was by a guy named Tim Sanders and he worked at Yahoo. Since I was a tech nerd, it resonated with me. I figured if I didn t learn anything, at least their would be some good stories about a company I admired. So I bought it... the audio book version :) (Still counts, right?) Once I started I couldn t stop. I binge-listened to that book over the next 2 days. It literally transformed my life. TOP BOOKS TO TRANSFORM AN ENTREPRENEUR S LIFE 2

3 Over the years I ve read over 1,000+ books. Reading is what shapes my thinking, my actions and are responsible for my outcomes. That s why I wanted to create this list. I get entrepreneurs asking me all the time to recommend books... but the truth is, I can t do it justice without understanding the challenge they re having. So that s why I created this list. It s the books that have stood out for me over the years. They might not be the most popular but they moved me to take action and had a dramatic impact in my businesses. So here you go. How Should You Read Them? Certain books can be listened to, in those cases I make a suggestion next to the author s name. Other should be read with a highlighter. The key to reading is retention. Here s the dirty truth. Most books could be summarized into 20 pages. What makes a great book a GREAT book is it s ability to suck us in and persuade us to take action. It s about a transformation. To connect with a book you need to underline, highlight and share what you ve learned with others. It ll help you go back and reference key strategies, quotes and suggestions made by the author to help you improve your business and life. TOP BOOKS TO TRANSFORM AN ENTREPRENEUR S LIFE 3

4 Do the work. Collect your highlights and review them. That way, it gets ingrained in your mind and will help guide your decisions. What Should You Do With What You Learn? The key to getting benefit from reading is integrating the knowledge into your life. If all you do is read to be inspired but do nothing with it then you might as well have spent that time serving a customer. But... If you read a book, and make a firm commitment to extract and implement 3 new strategies you learned, then you ve integrated the learning. After a while, it compounds and you will grow. Trust me, it s a beautiful thing. It also helps build your confidence because the world stops seeming so mysterious to you. Dan Martell TOP BOOKS TO TRANSFORM AN ENTREPRENEUR S LIFE 4
