I fully agree with @Shawn Holsapple's recommendations for books (with the exception of the 4 Hour Work Week, I hated that book), those will build a great foundation for you. 

I have read: The Book on Managing Rental Properties, The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down, The Book on Rental Property Investing, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and have purchased The Four Hour Work Week and The E-Myth.

I work a 40 hour work week at a different job then evenings and weekends I do real estate. 

I think that you will find that there is no one good resource to learn about money management, and that lots of smart people here on BiggerPockets and around the web will disagree intelligently on the best ways to manage your money.I think that a good list of books to begin reading if you are interested on taking control of your money, learning to invest, and having money work for you, instead of having to work for money, are these:1) Richest Man in Babylon (Great for learning basic finance principles - probably the first book you should read)2) Rich Dad Poor Dad (Great for understanding how wealthy people think about money)3) The Four Hour Work Week (Great for understanding the concept of lifestyle design and that Effort does NOT always correspond to productivity)4) The Millionaire Next Door (Great for understanding about what REAL Rich people do with their lives and money)5) The Wealth Barber (A Great step by step look at a reasonable approach for a typical american looking to manage their wholistic financial position)6) The Compound Effect (A Great Book that Discusses the Gradual, then accelerative, then explosive nature of finance, and many other life objectives)Oh, and since you are learning about money - get these books from the library for FREE! 

Welcome to BP community, hope all is well.What was my driving force was eating up audio books to speed up the gaining knowledge process, in return I would gather my questions faster for more deeper research.also all podcast/video-blogs from BP, listen to all of them until you start feeling a craving for a certain niche, then focus more on that new found hunger.recommended books:-10x Rule-Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing (free from BP)-Rich Dad Poor Dad-Millionaire Real Estate Agent (known as the Red book within REA's)-Millionaire Real Estate Investor (known as the Blue book within REA's)-4 hour work week-The E Myth for Real Estate Investors-Profit FirstGood luck, you seek , you will find#keepthehustle #lifeisworthliving #notdreamingitsreality

I like that so many of you have some kind of experience with this and you all pretty much come to the same conclusion.The one owner selling a cart is moving into a 7 day work week and while they have 3 employees, I know that as an owner you need to keep your ears to the ground when someone else is running your business.

The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss is by far one of my favorite books and many of the strategies from that book I still use today.

Listen to the audiobook 'The 4 Hour Work Week'.

My favs have been The 4 Hour Workweek and The Lean Startup.So what has everyone else been up to?

I also feel I have a different approach than most, I genuinely look for and expect the worst so I am prepared for this outcome and when my predictions are wrong it is usually to the better and it makes the tasks go much smoother because they were planned with a worst case scenario.I work a full time job that usually is easily a 50+ hour workweek and then do my real estate business outside of that as well as maintain time for my young son amd wife.
