  1. \n

    \u201cRework\u201d by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson<\/span><\/span>\"Books<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Interesting Fact: An interesting book that brings out a new perspective for running a business. It is Newyork Times\u2019 best-selling book and a popular one in the US & UK. A famous American author Seth W. Godin appreciated this book by saying \u201cIgnore this book at your own peril\u201d.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In this incredible list of books for entrepreneurs, \u201cRework\u201d is the first book. Not because it enlightens the best way to start up a business from scratch but because it vanishes all fundamental principles of setting up your own venture. This book denies the idea of creating a successful plan for your business, getting investors, studying the market & competition, etc. After reading this book, you will understand all this is a myth. You don\u2019t need a business plan. You don\u2019t need to study the market. These are simply excuses to not get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

    These two authors \u201cJason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson\u201d came up together and crunched down the basics and created a whole new system to act upon your dreams and fulfil goals faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you are a go-getter and believe in \u2018doing\u2019 not just \u2018dreaming\u2019, this book is for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If you love what you do, this book will motivate you to pull up your socks and start working towards fulfilling your dreams. If you haven\u2019t heard about Gary, let me tell you, he was way ahead from this time. He turned his family business, a local wine shop, into a national industry leader (from a $4-million venture to a $60-million one) with the help of the internet. And he explained every tactic he used in transforming his family business in the book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cCrush It\u201d is all about using the internet for your benefit and turning your web presence into a personal brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Who doesn\u2019t know Timothy Ferriss? His name was all over the world since he launched his book \u201cThe 4-Hour Workweek\u201d. In this book, he busted the myth to be a workaholic to achieve your dreams.
