#3 The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber
The author stresses the importance of mindset which is the foundation for every endeavor. Additionally, what makes his book so important is that gives you the formula of how to build a business by implementing systems and processes.
He speaks about the need to become an entrepreneur and business owner rather than a master tactician within their own business. Master tacticians often become burned out and lose their excitement about becoming their own boss and starting a business or Kickstarter.
