Sometimes the best asset you can give to yourself and and your business is to purchase books. Most books are very resourceful in any business no matter what the industry. I recently read three books by two authors.  They are Robert Kiyosaki and Jay-Z. I want to thank these two authors for their passion on providing business professionals and the community with insight. Thank You!

The first book I read was "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. I know most of you have read it but read it again (I've read it three times now and I feel I need to read it one more time before I put it down). The book opened my eyes to many things like assets, liabilities and the myths about higher education. I wish I would have read Kiyosaki's book a decade ago. Most of the things he talks about in his book I've experienced and I always wondered "Why me?" Read what Kiyosaki’s rich dad and his poor dad taught him about money and being successful, as he was growing up. The book is a small investment you need in your business to become triumphant so go ahead and add the book to your personal library collection. This could be the first step in you “minding your own business.”

If you get "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" you need to also get part two entitled "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki. What quadrant are you currently in and what quadrant are you working towards? The book will answer this and many other questions. Find out how college dropouts or people with street smarts seem to be the most victorious. Find out why people who are successful would rather read about the headlines, instead of having the distraction of television, to find out what is going on in the world. The more you learn by listening and reading, the more victorious you become. Make this book a permanent collection in your personal library.

Speaking of street smarts, the last book I purchased was "Decoded" by Jay-Z. The book mainly tells about some of Jay-Z's lyrics and breaks them down for you. He also tells the history behind the lyrics. You wonder why he used the song from the hit musical Annie? Do you know the real reason why Jay-Z choose the streets to gain his education? It even has pictures in the book that I think he puts there for you, to take you back to the places he went and see what he saw in his mind. I already liked Jay-Z so I had no doubt that the book would enlighten me. He has always had the hustler mentality so when he wants something he will go for it, no matter who or what is in his way.  Find out how Jay-Z has worked and continues to work hard for his success. They say you should always have business-minded professionals in your circle, I know Jay-Z is flourishing so I wanted his book to be in my collection so I can be a part of his circle.

This is my insight for you and check back frequently to see what I'm reading.
