2. $100 startup ~ Charles Lebeau

Let’s face it, a whole lot of people are born and raised with the rat-race mentality. Go to school, then get good grades, and then get a good job, then fall in love and then start your family; and you’ll live happily ever after. But they are told very little about how terrible this advice is.

When they realize the importance of finances or money when catering to not just one, but a whole family, and how little most jobs go in satisfying the needs of a family, it may have been too late for regrets and starting all over. But well, this book actually teaches how to escape that race and into financial freedom – this book was written to change that rat-race mindset. That’s what makes it invaluable for budding entrepreneurs and a must-read book for entrepreneurs.

You can actually start your own business, hereby working on your own terms and not just being an employee in an organization that may not really care about any other interests asides from theirs. This thus enables you to spend a whole lot of time enjoying life, rather than just working. This book is a must-read!

In this book lies secrets that have birthed successful millionaires and billionaires by just learning and studying the lives of superiors.
