Below, I've listed the books that have been most influential, most helpful, or most inspiring out of the hundred of books I've read over the years. The books listed here are my personal favorites. And, if a book has been particularly helpful or influential for you, please send me the title and a short review about why it was helpful to you. This is one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to almost all of my clients who own a small business or run a professional practice.
Most entrepreneurs start with a dream.
But soon, the business either grows and threatens to take over their lives, or it fails to grow, and that takes over their lives in a very different, and more painful way. The reality of running a business, doing paperwork, making sales, ordering supplies, hiring and supervising staff becomes exhausting. Sales go down, stress goes up. Profits suffer and the owner must find a new way. Gerber writes with insight, wisdom and compassion.
