During our First Quarter Webinar of 2020 titled, “Six Steps to Building a Successful Business”, our guest speaker Joe Siecisnki captivated the audience.

If you missed the Webinar, you can view it here:

During his presentation, Joe mentioned several books that he highly recommended to business owners looking to turn their companies into a maximally profitable, absentee run business; the type of business coveted by buyers.

As the presentation came to the Q&A period, one of the primary questions asked by participants, as well as from co-host John Young of Sunbelt Business Advisors, was for Joe’s list of books that he had talked about during his coaching. Joe’s knowledge during the webinar had certainly impressed, and proved to be a testament of his well-read expertise as an advisor. What Joe then provided to us was a list which he provides to his clients titled, “100 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read.” Joe then stated:

“If you’re not spending at least 10 to 15 minutes a night reading, you’re missing the boat. If you want to earn more, learn more. Life is simple.”

Sound advice we can all agree with. And so, we present to you, Joe Siecinski’s 100 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read, complete with links to the online store where they can be found for sale.
