It's Not Just for Creatives This whole series of books is well conceived and executed. The chapters are concise, fast and well edited. For anyone who wants to learn from some of the top performing business and creative individuals in the country, these are great books to learn from. The key factor of these books is that they teach you on what's important in moving forward in your life, not just in your career or in your creativity. In today's economy, we all need to be self-d. Get Motivated A good little quick read on building businesses with customer in mind. I read it in one night and it served as a motivator more than a lesson book. The message in the book is simple and easy to digest. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the beginning stages of an idea or the first year of business. A great book to re-read after your second year of being in business to make sure you are achieving your vision.. Riley said For the small to medium sized business, not individuals. A good book for those running a small business looking to grow. I wanted something that spoke to a wider audience of single individuals and small companies. If you're just starting your career in entrepreneurship this may be a little advanced for you.
