6 Six Most Important Categories For Entrepreneurs

Relationship Riches. This is the basis for everything that enriches both your personal and business life.

The following is from Yanik Silver. He has always believed our lives change from 1) the people we meet, 2) events/experiences we take part in and 3) books/knowledge products we invest in. I would agree. I am taking the liberty to repost this list of book resources as I believe you will find it very valuable.
