Lessons From my Favorite Books - What are your Favorites?

Lessons from some of my favorite books: (Which is your favorite?)

The Go-Giver:
- “Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value, than you take in payment”

The Voice of Knowledge:
- “It’s not important to be right, or make others wrong. Instead, you see everybody as an artist, a storyteller. You know that whatever they believe is just their point of view. It has nothing to do with you.”

The Mastery of Love:
- “Selfishness, control, & fear will break almost any relationship. Generosity, freedom, and love will create the most beautiful relationship."

The Psychology of Money:
- “I have something that he will never have …. Enough”
- “Your success as an investor will be determined by how you respond to punctuated moments of terror, not the years spend on cruise control”

The Noticer:
- “One way to define wisdom, is the ability to see into the future the consequences of your choices in the present. That ability can give you a completely different perspective on what the future might look like.”

The Millionaire Real Estate Investor:
- “Under Promise & Overdeliver”

Think & Grow Rich:
- “There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought”

Mans Search for Meaning:
- “What matters, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment”

The Richest Man in Babylon:
- “To attract goodluck to oneself, it is necessary to take advantage of opportunities”
- “Men of action are favored by the goodness of good luck”

The Millionaire Next Door:
- “Looks can be deceiving”

    The E-Myth by Michael Gerber

    - Start and operate your business with the consumer in mind... not you... not your product or service. Think about the consumer and their experience.

    - Just because you bake great pies doesn't mean you should open up a bakery.

     Yes!
    Great book as well especially for getting everyone focused towards a common goal.  I still use the checklists/grading system for staff evaluation.
