In signing up for GoodReads I came across three books that I want to read:Lean Startup by Eric Ries
Zero to One by Peter Thiel
Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki
All different aspects of the Entrepreneur.
I have so many books I would love to read as a means of building on my business skills. Here ar my current top 4The 7 Day Startup -Dan Norris
Zero ro One -peter Thiel
Think and Grow Rich- Napoleon Hill
Get Rich Lucy Bitch-Denise Thomas-Duffield
Some of my faves are: - How to Say It for Women by Phyllis Mindell
- Nice Girls Don't get the Corner Office by Lois P. Frankel
- all the Rhonda Byrne books but especially 'The Secret'
- Write it Down, Make it Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser
I watched Mandy's ChicScope with the three titles under consideration for our September read. Since I really should be doing something else, of course I spent time on Amazon checking them out. Here is my quick comparison: Lean Startup by Eric Reis
• 336 pages
• Published in 2011
• For entrepreneurs - launching
• 884 reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $10.99
Write It Down – Make It Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser
• 250 Pages
• Appears to be more about business philosophy
• Published January 2001
• 237 Reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $13.99 (paperback $10.67)
Zero to One by Peter Thiel
• 223 pages
• Business strategy and motivation
• Published September 2014
• 1,069 Reviews on Amazon
• Kindle version $11.99
I'm inclined to vote for Zero to One because it is the most current, and I am a babe in the virtual woods, I need to learn specific strategies that work right now in today's business environment.
Hey ya'll!!! It appears we were at 50/50 on Write It Down and Zero to One. Let's do this. Since we decided on bookclub a little later in the month let's read Zero to One in September and Write It Down in October?
