5 inspirational e-books you MUST read if you are on your entrepreneurial journey
7 years ago Shalini BRobert Kiyosaki once said, “The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant!â€ÂÂ
It is a well-known fact that our mind becomes what we make it. If we are under the influence of negative people, negativity fills our thoughts and vice versa. This is an important mantra for entrepreneurs – they have to keep themselves positive at all stages of life in order to spread happy vibes and thus concentrate on the right things in their lives. By doing so, they will ensure that they are doing the best for their startup and are always on the right track of their entrepreneurial journey.
While one is a part of the startup ecosystem, they have to ensure that they are upgrading their knowledge frequently, keeping in mind the dynamic environment. While doing this, there are times when lack of motivation falls in and disturbs the entire status- quo of a founder. To never lose hope and to have the right inspiration at such times, here are top 5 motivational books (that can be downloaded as e-books as well) that an entrepreneur MUST always have in their book shelves –
