If you are like me, you have read numerous inspirational self-help books.

My top 3 have to be:

Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill

Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway, Susan Jeffers

Now Discover Your Strengths, Marcus Buckingham

What`s your favourite?

One of my favorites is Ballsy...99 ways to grow a bigger pair and score extreme business success by Karen Salmansohn.

It`s filled with short and simple yet inspiring nuggets of wisdom.

Oh yeah, What color is your Parachute is a good one.  I also liked Personality Plus....although I think she`s come out with a newer edition since then.

I think I shall just have to buy `Ballsy...99 ways to grow a bigger pair and score extreme business success` - just because of the title. Wonderful.

I have also come across this blog which states a few more self-help books.

I've read quite a few, my favorite would have to be Bootstrap Business: A step-by-step Business Survival Guide.  It's written by Rich Christiansen and Ron E. Porter.  They are both entrepreneurs and Rich alone has started over 7 multi-million dollar businesses.  It's a great book.  It helped with my company, but my wife would recommend Last Train From Paris by Stacy Cohen.  She is a life style expert who donates millions to children cancer research.  She has also authored a couple of other books as well.

I love the "Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway" book written by Susan Jeffers, her style is unique and the advices she gives are awesome. When I attended the Frankfurt book fair 2013 I saw Karen Salmansohn, she had an amazing speech that left everybody amazed by the things she said, it was truly an amazing experience for me.
