Booked for Success

Reading how others have become successful might give you the inspiration and insider knowledge you need to hit those wealthy heights as well.

So here are some books that could be worth their weight in gold for aspiring tycoons:

Duncan Bannatyne has a knack for knocking out the odd book or too, and by all accounts gives value for money.



Bannatyne's publications include: "Anyone Can Do it: My Story", "Wake Up And Change Your Life", and "How To Be Smart With Your Time: Expert Advice From The Star Of Dragons' Den".

Of course, other dragons have brought out books too. Peter Jones - "Tycoon"; Theo Paphetus - "Enter The Dragon"; "The Real Deal: My Story From Brick Lane To 'Dragons' Den'" from James Caan; and Deborah Meadens' "Common Sense Rules 'What You Really Need To Know About Business."



Getting away from 'the Den', and personal finance author Robert T. Kiyosaki has an extensive range of books on generating wealth starting with "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". He followed that up with "Rich Dad, Poor Dad 2: Cash Flow Quadrant - Rich Dad's Guide To Financial Freedom"; "Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money"; "Rich Dad's Increase Your Financial IQ: It's Time to Get Smarter with Your Money"; and others.



And to round off, how about a book that should stand anyone in good stead. Dale Carnegie's timeless insight in "How to Win Friends and Influence People".
