Two books I highly recommend!

1. The Blessed Life - Robert Morris
2. One Minute Manager - Ken Blanchard

Both of these books are excellent at applying important principles to help you become a success! Good Luck!

Those are off line books. This is an e-book and it is Priceless. It is written by one of my Great Teachers (Many of their names have been mentioned above like Robert Kiyosaki)

My reccomendation list

Theres plenty of good books on entrepreneurship out there. My personal favorites are the ones that have specific action to do to become a successful one. When you get specific on what industry, I think those books are the most helpful...aside from earlier posts which I recommend these books:

Rich dad, Poor dad - a great book for entrepreneurial mindset for starters
The 4 hour work week - Timothy Ferris
How to Win friends and Influence People - Dale Carnigie
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.
Never Eat Alone - ?

My choices would be:

1. Think and Grow Rich --> Best entrepreneurial book available, changes your mindset.
2. Four Hour Workweek
3. E-Myth
4. Trump - a number of them
5. Cashflow Quadrant
6. Business Stripped Bare
7. You call the shots
