Which Book Impacted You The Most In Life And Business ?

On January 18, 2011, in Personal development in MLM, Success in 10 steps, Video, by Oliver

Which book impacted you the most in life and business ?

Please watch this video first:

My regular blog readers know that I follow the Success in 10 steps-ebook by Michael Dlouhy in order to build my business and generate leads for my MLM business.

It’s definitely a great book but it’s not the book that started eroding my old way of thinking.

So I want to ask you for a favour today: Please share the book that impacted you the most with us and also tell us why and how it impacted you.

I am going to do the same in an upcoming post on my blog.

The book that impacted me the most is part of my recommended reading list on this blog – but I haven’t written a review about it yet.

So you know now that it’s about “Think and grow rich” or “The Cashflow Quadrant”.

And not about “Little Voice mastery” either.

It influenced my thinking more than I originally was aware of – especially with regard to the business I was doing at that moment then.

The “Cashflow Quadrant” crushed my self-employed mindset but that wouldn’t have been possible without the sting in my flesh I got through this other book.

Please visit the following post that reveals the book that impacted me the most.

What is your opinion ?

I always love your feedback, so please leave me a comment down below with questions, thoughts, or feedback.

And (yes, here’s my call to action) please share this post with your Twitter and Facebook friends by clicking on the share buttons above.

I appreciate you telling others.

To a prosperous life,

Very interested to get a run down on what this book has meant to you Oliver… Can’t wait to see what it is…

I have to say that the book which started this whole journey towards financial freedom for me was ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ by T Harv Eker, brilliant and inspiring, something like a contemporary T&GR…

But as you know yourself there’s so many wonderful books and writings that have inspired and shaped the journeys of all of us and continue to do so…

Can’t wait for the upcoming post!

Cheers,

Jym

Hi Jack,

the Slight Edge is amazing. Alone the sentence “It’s easy to do and it’s easy not do.” is worth its salt.

Thanks for your comment, I’ll keep you posted about mine

Take care

Hey Oliver,

Rich Dad Poor Dad inspired me to finally free my entrepreneurial spirit.

Like Jack, my second favourite book is The Slight Edge – it helped me to focus on taking consistent actions towards my goals every single day.

The purpose of the book is to help you become aware of the slight edge – how it is working in your life, every day, every hour, every moment in every step you take and every choice you make — very powerful lessons!

I can’t wait to hear about your book, Oliver!

All the best,
Mavis

Hi Oliver,

There are actually a few books that influenced my life and business. But on top of them all is “The Slight Edge – The Secret to a Successful Life,” by Jeff Olson. Because, it has shown me that even just doing a little bit consistently every day compounds massively over time.

Thanks for another great topic!

A Rich Man’s Secret and Way of the Silent Warrior, these two books a simple yet powerful. I have read a lot of books including Think and Grow Rich, but the two books I have mentioned above have changed the way I see things.

Hi Oliver,

It would be the ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind’ by T Harv Eker for me as well. As Jym said, this book is like the ‘modern’, easier to read version of TAGR. But I love TAGR, I just sometimes feel that I need more introspection while reading the book, and as Napoleon suggests, it is best for us to read the book over and over again (he even has specific instructions for AutoSuggestion chapter).

I can’t wait to know the book you’re referring to on this post

Hey Oliver, this is a difficult question.

“Think and Grow Rich” definitely has influenced me on this latest journey but thinking back “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey was one of my favs.

Hey Oliver,

I got some books and it’s hard to choose from them:

1. Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren

2. Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard ( I’m in love with this book)

3. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey

4. The Ultimate Success Secret by Dan Kennedy

Everybody is raving about ‘The Slight Edge’. I think I need to get a copy.

Thanks for the opportunity, Oliver!

Hey Oliver, I loved Rich Dad Poor Dad and also Rick Warren’s ‘The Purpose Driven LIfe’.

I also liked the ‘Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace Wattles, written in about 1910.

My favorite internet business book is ‘SEO Fast Start’ by Dan Theis.

Both books are free

Hello,

The book that completely changed my way of thinking towards business is: “Founders At Work” by Jessica Livingston. It’s a great and interesting book with informative interviews with top Internet entrepreneurs. It’s defintely a great way to learn how to do it right and it will defintely help. Reading entrepreneur books is great for learning new strategies and marketing techniques. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences and book.

Best regards,

Maria

Hi Oliver,
Have you ever seen The Secret? It’s a movie based on the premise that if you can imagine it, and work hard enough toward a goal you will find success. I’ve built a life for myself with this exact premise. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for motivation and how to remain persistent.

Hi George,

I haven’t watched the movie but read the book. It’s a great book with some missing elements however. I don’t want to know how many people got misled by this book.

Thanks for your comment.

I got impacted the most by the book YOU CAN WIN by an Indian Author named Shiv Khera, and I must say that it is an inspiring book indeed, a must read for everyone. It has explained in an eerie detail the methods to fight every obstacle in life.
