Story
There's no shortage of networking and entrepreneurship advice in books and on social media in today's world-but it's harder than ever to know what's authentic. To make matters worse, taking the wrong advice can result in superficial connections, transactional relationships, and unsatisfying interactions with others without any real rapport. Fortunately, as entrepreneur and marketer extraordinaire Joe Polish has discovered, there's a simple (though sometimes not easy) way out that begins with one question: "What's in it for them?"

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.

Story
Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business.

Story
Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

The ultimate cheat sheet to being a successful entrepreneur
There’s honestly nothing better than listening to an audiobook, read by the author. There’s a level of soothing listening to Mr. Distante share his life’s story that makes you want to keep listening just to hear what he has to say next.
There’s also the added benefit of the information being absolutely on point, coherent, and incredibly easy to understand, no matter your level in the entrepreneurial journey.
I will say that this audiobook works best when paired with the hard copy, as it opens up a whole new experience that brings you deeper into the amazing journey of entrepreneurship, by expanding on the ideas in the chapters, bringing in other experts in their respective fields, and allowing you to fine tune the experience to your particular situations.
Never would I have expected a book about financing your business to be so in depth, immersive, and mindset-altering, but here we are. These aren’t wild theories. This is the real deal, and I highly, highly recommend this to every entrepreneur, no matter their experience, industry, or success.

An effortless education for founders, investors and dreamers.
Finally! A book on investing written by an investor that won't put you to sleep. I love Steve's writing and teaching style, which blends real people and real business examples with principles that feel evergreen, even in a world of massive change and volatility when it comes to raising capital and funding new ideas. I feel like any founder or investor at any stage of experience will benefit from this multivitamin of a book.
