Hello, readers. We've been personally reading between 30 and 50 books per year. And although not all of them are self-help books we do enjoy our share of novels and biographies. A good portion of our library is filled with those focused on building wealth and a life worth living. We strongly believe that this practice of constantly exposing ourselves to valuable ideas, coupled with our discipline and perseverance has been the key to the success we've seen in life so far. top CEOs read over 50 books per year, while the average person reads nearly one out of hundreds of books read, we boiled it down to this list right here for you. You're not going to find this secret or Think and Grow Rich on this list. It's not about attracting wealth into your life. This is about creating wealth through your actions.
Welcome to my blog - The place where future billionaires come to get inspired. If you're not subscribed, you're missing out. With that said, this is the ultimate list when it comes to the best books on getting rich.
