On June 6, I’m presenting online for the 1BusinessWorld Leading Entrepreneurs of the World 2022 Conference, which starts that day and runs through June 10. Last month I presented virtually for the 1BusinessWorld Young Entrepreneurs of the World 2022 Conference.
Participating in these events has reminded me how important it is for current and prospective entrepreneurs to have access to solid information about the many varied aspects of entrepreneurship. Since there is an overload of books about this complex subject, I’ve curated the following 29 lists, from a wide variety of sources.
I’m convinced that entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking are needed more now than ever. That goes for startups, and small and large businesses that want to gain or maintain an edge in the unforgiving economy of today and tomorrow. It’s also applicable beyond the business world, to social entrepreneurship ventures, and the considerable amount of entrepreneurial activity related to universities.
Even if you are not an entrepreneur and have no plans to become one, knowing more about the subject can help you advance your career and become more effective in your work and studies, no matter what field you are in. And chances are that you are or could be working for an entrepreneur in the future. It’s not a bad idea to learn more about their mindsets, motivation, and how they contend with the daily challenges of entrepreneurship.
