What are the most essential books for small business owners and entrepreneurs that teach how to run a business effectively?

I’m so glad you asked because I happen to know some of the most essential books for small business owners that you NEED to read. Did you know that Bill Gates reads around 50 books a year? He isn’t the only highflying businessman who reads as though their life depends on it. Warren Buffett reads between five and six hours a day while Elon Musk reads two books per day. Do you see where I’m going with this?

Successful people read. Reading is vital for personal growth. Oh, and it can also help you learn how to run, manage, and grow a successful business. However, with thousands of essential books for entrepreneurs to choose from (and limited time to read them all), what books should you add to your mustread list?
