It is that time of year again! Exams come to an end, and we all receive our hard-earned holiday breaks. A time to relax, enjoy, and recharge for the winter semester ahead.
Why not spend some of that downtime tweaking your business knowledge! What better way to spend a winter evening that with a book by the fireplace.

In speaking with many successful business leaders, I often ask them what they do to stay on top of their game and what factor contributed the most to their success.  They often can never pin point to a single event or an attribute they possess but they always come up with aproximately the same answer; ” If you want to succeed in business, be prepared to read and learn voraciously and continuously, and on top of that, put 70 to 80 hours of work in per week doing whatever it takes to succeed”.

Well since we can’t help you work 70 to 80 hours a week, we’ve decided to help you with the second half of that and provide you with a list of must read books.

THE TOP 7 LIST

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie

Overview: This is a great read on how to manage business relationships and how to make good long lasting impressions, which is key to being a successful business person.

Type: Management
