Introduction
With the holiday season coming soon, or just for a generally
great gift to yourself or someone near to you, there are a
few amazing small business books.
These books have in some way or another changed the
landscape of small business (and business in general) and
they offer fantastic advice for the beginning entrepreneur.
We’ll look at 7 of the best small business books we’ve read
here at InvoiceBerry that we can recommend with 100%
faith will help your small business succeed.

Rich Dad Poor Dad
It is the #1 finance book of all time!
Kiyosaki’s general writing style and the power of his message
are fantastic: that time, personal investment and imagination
are the most important parts of creating wealth for yourself and
your business.
“In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for
making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn,
we learn by making mistakes.”

Who moved my cheese?
Spencer Johnson creates a powerful case for the very nature of
change: either as something happen to a person, or something
initiated by a person.
Instead of fearing change, embrace it, chase it, and incorporate
it into your business and personal life.
“What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear
you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually
exists.”

E-Myth Revisited
This is the book by Michael Gerber that you need to take your
through all the stages of entrepreneurship.
From the business idea, to the difficult and struggling
adolescence, and finally to the entrepreneurial experience and
lifestyle.
“Contrary to popular belief, my experience has shown me that the people
who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they
know but because of their insatiable need to know more.”

The Lean Startup
Eric Ries teaches you why you should focus on determining
exactly what the target audience wants.
Instead of spending too much time and energy on your product
launch, you should work backwards from meeting your target
audience’s needs and using lean methodology.
“We must learn what customers really want, not what they say they want
or what we think they should want.”

Rework
David Heinemeier Hansson has collected great ideas that have
made their company a success, and providing that advice for
other companies.
Lots of controversial advice here, including not expanding too
quickly (or at all), and keeping good workers around (and firing
the workaholics).
“What you do is what matters, not what you think or say or plan.”

Four-Hour Work Week
This is the book for those wishing to have location-independent
work.
Timothy Ferriss is simply helping you find ways to be more
effective. Once you increase your efficiency, you’ll be able to
put in small amount of work to get huge output.
“A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of
uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.”

Inbound Marketing
Brian Halligan & Dharmesh Shah help you with inbound
marketing.
This is based more on pulling readers in, instead of pushing
your marketing messages out.
“The first method is to think across the traditional boundaries of your
marketplace to alternatives, not just competitors…The second method for
creating a winning strategy in the era of inbound marketing is to be the
world’s best at what you do”
