Reading List For Leaders

Welcome to my reading list for network marketers page. On this page I will share a list of must read books for network marketers. I have this list broken down by category.
Please keep in mind that most of these are not network marketing books, but books that will BENEFIT network marketers. They cover a variety of topics such as sales, marketing, lead generation, small business, leadership and entrepreneurship. If you’re looking for a list of the best MLM Books, check out this post.
Before I share my recommended reading with you, I want you to know a few things.

# 1 Leaders are Readers

It’s a proven fact, leaders are readers. Heck, you’ve probably heard that before. Study any successful entrepreneur or person in any industry and you will quickly discover that they have a large personal library at home. You need to do the same thing. If you can’t afford to buy books, get them from your local library. If you hate to read, learn to love it. Make a commitment to read at least 10-pages every single day. Within a year, you will fall in love with reading and you will never stop doing it.

# 2 Invest in Your Business Education

All serious entrepreneurs invest in their business education. They read books, attend seminars, have mentors and join mastermind groups. You need to do the same thing. Be willing to spend at least $50 per month on business education, right from day one in business. Learn everything you can about your chosen profession. Be a student of your business.

# 3 Books are the Cheapest and Fastest Way to Learn Something

Books are the cheapest education you can buy. A new book normally costs $10 to $20. If you shop around and buy the book used, you can get it for a fraction of that price. And if you buy the kindle version it’s even cheaper. That’s a small investment for your own future. What I like most is you can read a biography of someone successful, and learn in three to four hours what took them a lifetime to learn.

# 4 You Should Read About a Variety of Topics

One of the best things you can do is educate yourself about a variety of different topics, not just network marketing. I’m not endorsing drama, romance or fiction, but I do believe you should have a well rounded library with books on a variety of topics such as business, marketing, network marketing, relationships, leadership, wellness, mindset, and more. This gives you perspective, and general knowledge on a large variety of subjects.
