    OK, so I have read many motivational books over the years and must say that only one is really needed for those who are starting out in online marketing or offline business.

    The first and most important book that you will ever need is called:

    Think and grow rich
    By Napoleon Hill

    I am not saying that you should not read other books, but if you just put to practice what you learn from there, you will be successful sooner then later.

    That one is on the list Tal. I have read "the Greatest Salesman In the World" by Og Mandino and highly recommend that too.

    "Think and Grow Rich" and "The Greatest Salesman in the World" are two excellent and inspirational reads.

    I'd add this one to the list: The Richest Man in Babylon - George S. Clason.

    talfighel: Think and grow rich By Napoleon Hill
    For those who don't know, there is a 2012 version of Think And Grow Rich.
    It is titled "3 Feet From Gold" by Greg Reid of the Napoleon Hill Foundation.
    You can find video clip previews on YouTube or Greg's website.
    He interviews a lot of modern success stories to show you why
    You should never, ever, give up... 3 feet short of your goal.

    If you don't know the story behind Think and Grow Rich, it is a story worth hearing.
    Napoleon Hill was a rags to riches story who spent 20 years writing the book for free.
    Dale Carnegie is the one that gave Napoleon Hill his contacts to interview for the book.
    Visit ThreeFeetAway.com for more information on Greg and the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

    Earning comes with LEarning.

    p.s. Greg just became a new daddy a few weeks ago, a healthy boy named Colt.

    Check out Greg's new video about 3 Feet From Gold and Think and Grow Rich
    http://vimeo.com/40665216
    If the video hesitates, click HD on the player to change quality to normal.
    2 1/2 minutes that will change your thinking about failure and success.
    Greg was living in his car not that long ago, got a new caddy last week.
    Guess he wants his kid to be more comfortable?[​IMG]

    And now for the 3rd "Think and Grow Rich" book from The Napoleon Hill Foundation:
    "Think and Grow Rich; Stickability"
    http://stick-ability.com/ Watch the Stickablitiy video, awesome song.
    or on YouTube without the book promo.
    Interviews with Steve Wozniack and the inventor of the cell phone along many others.
    Even the founder of Word Press which so many of us use to create sucessful websites.
    So, "the only book you will ever need" is now 3 books, plus a few.

    "Think and grow rich" is a retro! It still rings the bell but there's a ton of books on business which are waaaay more relevant today. "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World" by Harry Browne or "Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt Into Fuel for Brilliance" by Jonathan Fields to mention just to mention a few. That is, I'm not even talking about all those amazing blogs on e-business. I know what I'm saying since it's been quite some time since I said "no thanks" to corporate world and got my business going with the help of all this insightful stuff and some cool SEO software.

    I have just ordered a book online called:

    chicken soup for the entrepreneur's soul


    Should be interesting and very inspiring.

    Wake up call? I'm now being "followed" by Napoleon Hill on Twitter. I do lead a strange life, lol.
    Had the privilege yesterday to see & hear both authors of "Think & Grow Rich; 3 Feet From Gold".
    Sharon Lechter has just published a New Release by Napoleon Hill called "Outwitting the Devil".
    It was written in 1938, the year after Think & Grow Rich, then locked in a vault for 64 years.
    Sharon is the co-author of Three Feet From Gold and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series.
    She was asked by the Napoleon Hill Foundation to edit and publish his manuscript.
    It is about Napoleon Hill's own doubts and fears and how he conquered them.
    Doubt and Fear are the devil that causes us to sabotage our success.
    I highly recommend "Outwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill.

    Think & Grow Rich was rejected by ~250 publishers before it got accepted.
    Never give up.

    I agree - Talfighel. One of my favorites.

    Wouldn't say that's the only book you will ever need, because continuing to learn is always important haha :)

    Recently read $100 startup by Chris Guillebeau and thought that was great for our kind of people. Very inspirational and also practical!

    This is a great book to read! But I wouldn't say that it's the only book that you would have to read!

    Don't Miss The BIG Event That Was Over 75 Years in the Making...​
    Del Mar, California October 25-27th, 2012​

    Join us for a HISTORIC 3-day event where today’s top business and personal development minds honor the timeless message of Napoleon Hill and his classic books. Make plans to attend the extraordinary, Inaugural Think and Grow Rich 75th Anniversary International Summit!

    WHY THIS EVENT WAS CREATED?
    Finally! An event geared to positively impact and share the timely message of Napoleon Hill’s classic book, Think & Grow Rich, and his latest release, Outwitting the Devil and to give you specific skills to succeed within your life and business.

    The event is poised to commemorate the life’s work of Napoleon Hill, expose and teach new skills to combat distraction, adapt to today’s challenges, to mastermind, re-imagine Hill’s teachings and launch a new era of positive change and prosperity!

    With the economy and the free-enterprise system often portrayed in a negative light, this 3-day summit will present the other side of the story. This event is not for everyone! By design, the program will inspire attendees and focus on opportunity, instead of fear, negativity, and controversy, which is given far too much media coverage and attention.

    Many of today’s brightest minds from business and personal development will share their own stories of persistence, Hill’s impact on their life and the valuable lessons and wisdom we can all benefit from and use in our own endeavors.

    Books on motivation can help, but motivation without knowledge about how to accomplish a specific goal is useless. A lot of people have all of the motivation they need, but no knowledge about how to do it, or knowledge that is just plain bad advice, which could also be called misguided motivation. Just a thought...
