150 Entrepreneurship Books for Investing & Business Insights

Show me a successful entrepreneur who does not read and I will prove to you that he is an employee, not an entrepreneur. Read books on investment, finance, self-improvement and new business ideas. Warren Buffett gained investment ideas that made him a billionaire by reading financial education books. Most of these books are in the list below. Never stop learning because life never stops teaching. The day you stop learning is the day you die.

Don’t stop reading because you have left school. In fact from the day you left school, you stopped studying and started learning. But you should never stop reading because it one of the surest ways of learning. Each relevant book you read gives you a key to the solution of a new challenge. CZ, the CEO of Binance also testified that the success of Binance was through the insights he gained from some entrepreneurship and business books in his reading list.

Don’t just read books without following it up with a positive action. Try to implement some of the ideas you learnt from each book. That is how you can become the better version of yourself.
