Books are not just about words and pages, but they carry inspiration along with them. If you are a bookworm, so you must be familiar with the impact that a book leaves on you. Books have the capabilities to give you wings so that you can fly high with someone else’s imagination. Whenever I finish reading a motivational book that is so enticing, I usually take a bit of time to finally grasp the reality. After diving in the depth of the pages of the book, desolation overpowers the sanity and the real world seems hoax, isn’t it?

There are millions of books present in the world, and yet, every single book has something divergent to offer. Some challenge your intellectual ability, some help you in finding the real you, some compel you to walk on the road you always wanted to, and some simply pour positivity and encouragement in you.

The love for books does not come with a class. Even the big and successful entrepreneurs like – Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. go gaga over their reading traits. If you are a frequent Facebook user, which you must be, then you would have come across the club that Mark has created on this social networking site, which is entirely dedicated to the books.

Books incorporate various genres. Now, talking about the corporate world – when you decide to take up entrepreneurship, you obviously need a lot of encouragement to be steady on the road and complete your journey. Throughout the way, many people come and discourage you, throw stones at your way, but you need to focus on your goals only; which can be tough. In such a case, a motivational book can help you. Books help you at the time when humans can’t and books encourage you when your own people abandon you. I can say so because I am a fervent reader and familiar with the sense of belonging that the books have to offer.

So, here is the list of top 5 motivational books that you must read if you are going to be an entrepreneur.

1. Rich Dad, Poor Dad – by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter

What would you choose if you get an opportunity to select only one from the two most important persons of your life? Obviously, you will look at some aspects including the influence of the person on you, all the lessons you get to learn from him, etc. But, it would not be an easy choice, would it? The same dilemma is represented in this book.

It is the biography of Robert Kiyosaki. The author has penned down his life in Hawaii and his upbringing by his two fathers. His stepfather was rich and his biological father was poor. The author states how he was compelled to choose the footsteps of either his rich father; who was not a graduate but a successful entrepreneur, or his poor father; who was an educated government employee.

In the end, the author chooses to learn from his rich father, hence the plot revolves around the lessons he had learnt through his successful stepfather. His rich father was not educated enough, but he had created an empire worth of million dollars, just with sheer intellect and hard work. The six lessons of the book teach you a lot of things about the business world.

The author has also talked about the specific traits of the people that could halt them from being rich. These traits include – fear, laziness, bad habits, criticism, and arrogance. The book revolves much around the reflection of the author. Although, he had selected his rich dad but he still didn’t let go of his poor dad, altogether. Social responsibility and the sense of empathy are the traits that he had acquired from his poor dad.

All in all, you also get to learn the power of intellect but a degree to set up your own empire. A motivational book that must be read by all those people who focus more on the education but knowledge!

    It’s a well-articulated post that I stumbled upon during my dull office work. However, why did you write “Books have the capabilities to give you wings so that you can fly high with someone else’s imagination”? (Someone else’s imagination?)

    A person has a habit of relating everything that his/her mind could fathom. We are investing our thoughts in something that resonates with us. We are a great species yet very private of our emotions. We love to dream, we love being hypothetical, we love being a spectator.

    It all rounds to one single thing – Imagination, and it’s ours! That’s why we are creative. We owe a lot to that Character – Bonding.

    And, I also thought that you will mention Ayn Rand’s books as depicted in the cover photo. Though, I haven’t read “The Entrepreneur Mind and Rising Strong”, I’ll give it a try.
