What books have helped you the most with your business?

Simple numbers. Straight talk. Big profits! By Greg Crabtree

It is an honest and simple book by an ethical accountant.

 

The Thinking Book By L.Ron Hubbard.

This book is the best bang for the buck to raise awareness for employees and entrepreneurs alike. It is so simple and enlightening.

 

Good to Great By Jim Collins

Raise the bar!

 

There are many great books out there. But these immediately came to mind and for the sake of not being overwhelming I would start by purchasing and reading/studying these three.

Six Tires No Plan is pretty good. The founder of Discount Tire is now a billionaire by treating people right. I also recommend Les Schwab's book. Both are tire business related but the concepts carry over.

 

Waterhouse publishes some basic business skill books for Napa Autocare centers, see if you can hook up with some of the material. Its like business 101 for auto shops.

We are all in the Sales Business. Facts and Benefits, etc. A book that helped me tremendously and has helped put thousand$ and thousand$ of dollar$ in my pocket is How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Bettger.

Some other ones are Guerilla marketing (there's a few, all are good), zig ziglar's "see you at the top", Carl Sewell's book is a quick read although I disagree with his slave labor tactics.

 

Non sales related books can definitely help you as well. I just finished "Zlata's Diary" about growing up in warzone Sarajevo in the 90's. It keeps things in perspective. No matter how stressful work is we still have electricity and running water and can walk down the street in relative safety.

The customer rules. By Lee Cockerell. He ran Walt Disney World for 10 years, managed several Marriott hotels and more. A great read about building and maintaining a profitable business by providing exceptional customer service.
