    don't know if you've read it, but the best book I've ever read about entrepeneurship is Think and Grow Rich.

    It's an amazing book and contains interviews with over 40 millionaires (including Henry Ford, George Eastman) - yep it was written in the 1930's but it's as still true today as it was then.

    I've learned a lot from this book especially - persistence. If at first you don't suceed keep trying, if the original idea is good, eventually it will all come good.

    There's 13 chapters, which basically explain how millionaires think and what you can do to get that millionaire mindset.

    Well worth a read! You can get a PDF copy for only $10 from my website bigredtomatocompany.co.uk

    I highly recommend Duncan Bannatyne's book - Anyone Can Do It. It's a very good book for about £7.99 ($11-12) and gives you a good insight into how Duncan started up, expanded and managed to own a multi-million pound empire. He's a great role model to aspire too and built up from nothing - he came from a poor background with no qualifications proving that experience is key entrepreneurialism.

    Very good read!

    The Magic of Thinking Big - David Schwarz
    Emerging Markets - David Lindahl - good for real estate investing and had great economic indicators on where to start a conventional brick-and-mortar business.
