Whether you’re an employee or a small business owner, these books will give you the tools and mindset you need to slay your finances.
1. I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi
This book was a game-changer for me when I first read it. Ramit’s approach to personal finance is practical, no-nonsense, and actionable. He breaks down everything from budgeting to investing to negotiating your salary in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. I especially appreciate his emphasis on automating your finances so you can focus on other things in life, like making music videos.
2. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
This book is a deep dive into the relationship between money and human behavior. It’s not just about the technical aspects of finance; it’s also about the emotional and psychological factors that shape how we think and act with our money. Morgan’s writing is engaging and insightful, and I guarantee you’ll finish this book with a better understanding of yourself and your money habits.
3. Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
If you’re a small business owner, this book is a must-read. Mike’s concept of “Profit First” challenges the traditional formula of Sales – Expenses = Profit. Instead, he proposes that you should prioritize profit in your business by allocating a percentage of every dollar you bring in to a profit account. This book is not just theory; it’s a practical guide to implementing this system in your business, and I’ve seen firsthand how effective it can be.
4. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
This book is a classic, and for good reason. Robert’s story of growing up with two dads – one rich, one poor – and the lessons he learned from both is both inspiring and informative. He breaks down the differences between the mindsets of the rich and the poor, and the importance of financial education in today’s world. This book is a great starting point if you’re new to personal finance or just need some motivation.
5. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
This book is a timeless classic that has inspired millions of people over the decades. Napoleon’s philosophy of “thoughts become things” is a simple but powerful concept that can transform your life if you apply it consistently. This book is not just about money but about success in all areas of life. If you’re looking for a mindset shift that will take your life to the next level, this is the book for you.
