    This is awesome.

    Really changed my mindset.

    Throw in Sam Carpenter's "Work the System, and maybe "ReWork" by 37Signals... and you'll be looking at your Internet business from a completely new angle.

    The reason that the world is in such a state is down to the attitude of Tim Ferris and his 4 hour work week. Everyone want's someone else to do the work but will glady take the credit. He's just cashing in on the trend of everyone wanting everything now, which is the total opposite of what the other books in your list will teach you.

    You could also add Rich Dad, Poor Dad to the list, and also get some copywriting books will help you when it comes to marketing your product / services.

      Isn't that what business is about upto a certain extent, Steve Jobs gets credit for the iPhone and iPads, but he's not out in the trenches physically making it, right?

      I'll send a message to all the people I outsource and say I've got to sack them because globalization isn't fair.

      If you want to build a successful business it's recommended. I'll leave it at that.

    A long list of good to the best copywriting books is listed in the sticky over in the copywriting forum:

    http://www.warriorforum.com/copywrit...ooks-ever.html

    Gary Halbert's (a deceased direct marketer) newsletters (free) are well worth reading, especially the Boron Letters. Lots of gold if you can recognize it .
