You might have a great, profitable idea, but putting it into action and building a business from the ground up involves research, knowledge, and proper execution. Rest assured, there are plenty of great books out there to provide you with the resources you need to be a successful entrepreneur. Here are our five must-read books for starting your own business:

The Entrepreneur Mind:

100 Essential Beliefs, Characteristics, and Habits of Elite Entrepreneurs

The Entrepreneur Mind: 100 Essential Beliefs, Characteristics, and Habits of Elite Entrepreneurs by [Johnson, Kevin D.]

Blueprint to Business:

An Entrepreneurs’s Guide to Taking Action, Committing to the Grind, and Doing the Things That Most People Won’t

Michael Alden, like our first author, is founder and CEO of a multimillion-dollar company. In addition, he is also a television host and bestselling author. His original mantra and the overall message of his first two books is “give more, get more,” showing readers how to get more out yourself, your life, and those around you. This book is a real-world guidebook to starting your own business, covering the inevitable pitfalls you will face and giving strategies on how to overcome them. As a budding entrepreneur, one of the best things you can ask for is real advice from someone who knows the hardships that will come your way, and has solutions to help you grow personally and in your business.

The Art of Startup Fundraising:

Pitching Investors, Negotiating the Deal, and Everything Else Entrepreneurs Need to Know

 

One the most pressing challenges startups face is raising money. Financing a startup has become more complicated by the fact that money is moving online. Alejando Cremades knows a thing or two about fundraising in the digital world as the co-founder and executive chairman of Onevest, the world’s largest digital-first, invitation only investor network. New regulations and online fundraising mean new territory to navigate, and as the old advice become increasingly relevant, this book is an easy-to-follow guide on how to raise startup money in the digital world of finance. Every business needs financing, and having the most relevant information will keep you one step ahead.

The Startup Checklist:

25 Steps to a Scalable, High-Growth Business

While most entrepreneurship books lean towards strategy, this book is a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide for how to get started with your new business. David S. Rose, an Inc. 500 CEO, serial entrepreneur and angel investor, how founded or funded over 90 companies. He is uniquely qualified to explain the ins and outs of getting a startup off the ground, including management, legal issues, execution, and more.
