BOOK 1: "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries
Our first contender is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries. This book is like a roadmap for turning your startup idea into a successful venture.

BOOK 3: "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek
Moving on, we've got "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek. Sinek's golden circle concept – why, how, what – will help you articulate your business's core purpose and connect with your target audience on a deeper level.
Remember, people don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. This book will guide you in crafting a compelling brand story that resonates.

BOOK 4: "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel
Number four on our list is "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel.
Mr. Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook, offers unconventional wisdom on innovation and building a monopoly-like business.
He encourages entrepreneurs to focus on creating something entirely new – going from zero to one – rather than copying existing models.
A true eye-opener for those aiming to disrupt industries.

BOOK 5: "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael E. Gerber
Last but certainly not least, we have "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael E. Gerber.
