There are literally millions of books out there with great insights and messages for any entrepreneur. In fact, that is why one of the key success principles of high performing entrepreneurs is that they are voracious lifetime learners and are dedicated to their personal growth. There is always something new to learn.

Recently, I was asked if I could recommend the top 5 books for a young entrepreneur. I laughed because it's a trick question and totally subjective. What I think are the best books for a young entrepreneur will be totally different than what someone,say Marc Cuban, thinks are good, etc. So who is right? Neither. I think the most important lesson I can give a young entrepreneur is to embrace a personal growth routine and commit to lifelong learning. My best advice? Go to the book store or library and start reading titles, you'll find you gravitate to certain ones. Start there and then branch out. Never stop learning.

Ok, back to the question at hand. Inevitably, as mentioned above, I will leave some great work of entrepreneurial genius off the list below that you think should be on there. Oh well. What I wanted to do with the list below is give you books that you may not have heard of and that are not as mainstream, but are better than the ones that are.
