    Exclamation A Bit Of Help!!!!

    Hello everybody! I'd like to introduce myself I'm David Carrizosa, I'm 22 I currently reside in Gilbert Arizona. I work in the automotive refinishing industry as a painter, to be more precise I do custom painting. I just started to do high end projects for professional athletes as well as for other customers who want a high quality job. I've been at it hard and strong creating my own doors of opportunity and success. I am very diligent when it comes to staying on top of the game I do more than what is possible, to have a few extra tools to out due my competitor. I always go to important shows, seminars, clinics, courses and I'm constantly looking for new books, videos and Talented painters who I can learn from. I enrolled in school for business in general for now, I don't know what to take or have a small clue of what makes an entrepreneur. I have a virgin mind for this and for what I have read it is complex and patient. I am aspiring to one day be an investor or something like an entrepreneur, I'm looking forward to put this same energy, effort, character and dicipline to becoming an entrepreneur. I think I started at the correct place. I look forward to reading on all of this and putting it to work. As a starter what books, videos, courses, websites or tools do you guys recommend me to start with or how should I begin. I would appreciate the help I receive from all of you and if I can help with questions when it comes to my side of the job I'm all ears. I know the longest journey begins with the first step, so thank you for your time and I hope I didn't take much of your time. Have a good day.

    Bolded for emphasis.

    Take his book as nothing more than motivation. Once your motivated, go buy a better book

    As for my recommened book for business - "E-Myth" by M Gerber. E in the title stands for entrepreneur. If all wannabe business owners read this before starting there company alot of money, stress and tears would be prevented. it would also lower the business failure rate

    everyone's reading the same shit and not doing crical analysis to create new knowledge

    hence, mindless (i.e no unique perspective) zombies (i.e. go where other zombies go)

    I recently bought The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Megabucks. I'll have to see if they offer anything useful.

    I tried to read Rich Dad Poor Dad, but I found it useless.

    I'm sure people are reading more than just those 2 books. They are good reads for someone just beginning to facilitate entrepreneurial ideals. Especially Rich Dad.

    I also think Richest Man in Babylon is one of the best books on wealth I've ever read and if you can get ahold of timeless knowledge like this you can't go wrong.
    If you want to be rich, sell products and services.
    If you want to be insanely rich, create and control markets.
    I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
    Read The Richest Man in Babylon - first published in 1926, timeless wealth-building principles.
