What is your favorite book or video for ONLINE BUSINESS START- UPS?

**OC RYDERZ** · 08-12-2010 06:20 AM

I am looking for good literature on online business start-ups.

It can be e-books, videos (Preferred), etc.

Something that might have stuck with you for years . . . Thanks for the feedback in advance !

"From Good to Great" -- no doubt. Also a lot of good youtube videos that really motivate me. Particularly the sales call scene from Boiler Room, and the sales call scene from the Pursuit of Happiness.

I know the videos are not specifically geared towards online businesses, but business is all about executing and being very motivated...and these did it for me!

I agree with "Good to Great" (not just for online businesses but for all businesses). "Built to Last" is also by Jim Collins and is really good too. My favorite that I have read lately is "Rework" by 37 Signals (the guys that developed Base Camp). It's excellent and forces you to think about some old business issues in new ways.

I think one of the best books out there is by a an amazing entrepreneur, Ryan Blair, who has been through some of the toughest situations ever. His experience, expertise, advice etc. are all well detailed within his book, "Nothing to Lost". You can get an ebook or hard copy here: Nothing to Lose - How to Become an Entrepreneur

Good luck!
