3 Business Books That Can Help You Succeed

by

Kapten & Son Watch - Business BooksI was going to write a post about my favorite business book, but that’s doesn’t make much sense. Each book has the ability to make you a better or smarter person in a different way, so trying to pick just one didn’t seem right.  If you want to be successful, you should be reading regularly.  It’s like having a one-on-one meeting with a great mentor – except much cheaper and easier.

I’ve recommended 3 books below that can help you be successful – with a small summary of what you will get out of each.

Rich Dad Poor Dad – Robert T. Kiyosaki

If you don’t already have your own business or personal investments outside of mutual funds I highly recommend you read this.  It talks about the mentality it takes to become rich.  This isn’t one of those get rich quick books, but instead helps to put money in perspective.  READ IT.

Contagious – Jonah Berger

Contagious talks about what it takes to make a product or idea spread quickly.  I like to re-listen to it when I’m working on a new business or project, because I’m almost guaranteed to find some actionable advice I can immediately implement.

Predictably Irrational – Dan Ariely

Predictably Irrational shines the light on how just irrational people are.  The key is that they aren’t just randomly irrational, they are irrational in a very predictable way.  Understanding how people will react irrationally can help you to negotiate better, sell your products, or even motivate employees.

I have many more business book recommendations I’ll be posting about soon, so check back for upcoming posts.

This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my go This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my goal to teach out kids something new or give them a unique experience every week this year, we're building @Lego Technic cars from @Target #Ad. I thought Noah would really be into them, but I was surprised by just how obsessed Emma has been with them too. They take a few days to make, so we've been doing a little bit most mornings or evenings. @Target has a bunch of different ones, and even has an exclusive on some of them like the green Mustang we're building, which is one of the less expensive ones. It's been an awesome way to get some good one on one time with both our kids. Check out my stories for more info and some links. #TargetPartner #TargetStyle

We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids out fishing on the lake, but the boat slips here are either on a waitlist or too expensive to be worth it. Instead we’re going to transform this one into something we can drop in the water ourselves and spend less than we would on an annual boat slip. 
It’s not as big of a project as some we’ve done in the last, but this one should get done quickly. 
I’ve got a lot of ideas of what to add to it so we can have “Champaign taste on a beer budget.”
First up is a motor we can drive by a remote and eliminates the need for an anchor by using GPS. Check out my stories for more info

Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able to get back outside. We've made a lot of changes to our backyard and are excited to share it all. One of our kids favorites is definitely the outdoor ping pong table from @Ledgelounger. It's made from high-quality resin just like their signature chairs, so it's going to stand up to just about anything the weather is going to throw at it, so we can simply enjoy it. Check out @leeannebenjamin 's stories for more info. #ad

If you haven’t been following along on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, we’ve been looking for a Florida home for quite a while. 
In this crazy real estate market, even if you put an offer in a house above asking the asking price, there is a good chance you won’t get it. 
We had our offer accepted on this one a couple days ago, and today was the first time we got to see it in person. I shared a walkthrough of the house on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, so you can see more there. 
I’m super excited to let the kids know, but we’re going to wait until the closing is done, so we can bring them both to Florida and surprise them! I can’t wait to see their faces!

Getting some quality time in with the kids. Our en Getting some quality time in with the kids. Our entire backyard has been a construction site for the last 9 months, so we’ve been having to find new stuff to keep them busy. It will be so nice to be able to just walk into our backyard again and not worry about stepping on nails 😂
