TAKEAWAYS
FROM THE
WORLD’S BEST
BUSINESS BOOKS
Life’s too short to live
on anyone’s terms but
your own.
1
That “someday”
you’re waiting for
might never come.
2
Focus your energy on
what drives the most
results.
3
4
Acquire or build
income-producing
assets.
5
Focus on cash flow.
The only way to
escape the “rat race”
is to have monthly
cash flow from assets
that exceeds your
monthly expenses.
6
Take calculated risks.
7
8
Work for profits, not
wages.
9
Develop multiple
income streams.
10
Be proactive.
11
Begin with the end in
mind.
Put first things first.
12
Think win-win.
13
Seek first to
understand, then to be
understood.
14
Synergize.
15
Sharpen the saw:
Take time for physical
and mental renewal.
16
Everyone is given the
same 24 hours in a
day.
17
Your business doesn’t
require a ton of risk or
startup capital.
18
The difference
between an amateur
and a professional is
their habits.
19
Be helpful. The money
will follow.
20
Scale that help to
reach as many people
as possible.
21
The easy thing and the
best thing often aren’t
the same thing.
22
“Your competence is
your security.”
23
Pour your heart and
soul into your
business. People will
notice.
24
(If it sounds like real
work, that’s because it
is.)
25
Be first to market.
But if you can’t be
first, just claim a new
market you can be
first in.
26
You can’t be
everything to
everyone, so stop
trying.
27
The best way to get
noticed is to be
remarkable. That is,
markedly different
from every other
option.
28
Do what your
competition isn’t
doing.
29
Use reciprocity:
When you give
someone something,
they feel compelled to
repay you. What can
you give?
30
Gain small
commitments in
advance of asking for
a larger commitment.
31
Use social proof like
testimonials, press
mentions, and trust
signals.
32
Be likeable.
33
Be an authority.
34
Use scarcity:
Sometimes fear of
missing out and
playing hard to get
can work to your
advantage.
35
Ideas are worthless
without execution.
36
Cultivate positive
habits.
37
The stock market is a
poor wealth
accelerator.
38
The best way to make
millions is to solve a
problem that MANY
people or businesses
face.
39
Customer service isn’t
a department within a
company. It IS the
company.
40
Out-care the
competition, online
and in-person, and
people will begin to
take notice.
41
The ultimate customer
service question is:
“How likely would
you be to recommend
Company XYZ to a
friend or colleague?”
42
Happy customers do
your marketing for
you.
43
Ship early, ship often.
44
Launch, get feedback,
and then make quick
incremental
improvements.
45
Less is more.
Leonardo da Vinci
once said, “Simplicity
is the ultimate
sophistication.”
46
Develop a 1-touch
system for incoming
items: Do it, Delegate
it, Defer it, or Drop it.
47
Customers don’t buy
WHAT you do; they
buy WHY you do it.
48
Build your team:
Get the right people
on the bus.
49
Find the sweet spot at
the intersection of:
• What lights you up
• What you’re best at
• What makes you
money
50
You are the CEO of
your own life.
Act like it.
51
Work ON your
business, not IN it.
52
Make progress
everyday.
53

missing?
