There are three key problems that every entrepreneur faces when it comes to building a successful business. They may not be your usual suspects, but, guaranteed, you’ll be able to relate to at least one of these problems– if not all three.
It doesn’t matter if you’re in start-up mode, out of the gate trying to make your first sale, or if you’re a pro who has crossed over the 7-figure mark. These problems will continue to haunt you in your business and should be considered regularly.
Before we dive into the 10 best business books for entrepreneurs, I have a secret that I want to share with you…
You may or may not know this but, I am a high school dropout. I never finished high school. I quit half way through my last year. I’ve gone on to build an amazing life and business which I attribute it to one thing– I read a lot of books. Not only do I read books, I implement what the books tell me to do in my life and my business and it works. One day a famous author asked me why I wasn’t in one of her programs and I said, “Plain and simple, I don’t need your program, I read the book and I did the work to put it into action.”
That is the power of a good book and I have 10 such books that I have read (some of them more than once). They’re instrumental in my own success – and they can be in yours too.

What I have discovered over the last 10 years of working with people is that one fundamental problem gets in the way of most business owners generating more sales in their business. The good news is, it’s really easy to fix with this one bright idea…
Do you ever get stuck because things are just not perfect enough? Perfectionism is a roadblock that some people wear like a badge of honor and that’s what we’re tackling in this edition of Shop Talk.
We’ve all heard it – and may have said it…
“I’ve got such high standards, it’s got to be perfect before I do it.”
Do you know who says that? The people who end up finishing last. And do you know why?
Leading up to the release of my book, Pilot to Profit, I learned some valuable lessons around asking for help that I’d like to share with you.
When it came time to plan how I would get the word out about the pending release of the book, I was carrying around what I would call “bother” baggage.
You know what I mean…
Writing a book is easy compared to the book marketing strategy that goes into getting it into the hands of the people you intended it for. Peggy McColl, who wrote the foreword for my book Pilot to Profit: Navigating Modern Entrepreneurship to Build Your Business Using Online Marketing, Social Media, Content Marketing and Sales, once told me that 95% of authors sell less than 200 copies of their book.
Why is it some authors become New York Times best-selling authors and others end up with a garage full of books?
What separates the successes from the failures when it comes to a book launch?
