Recommended books for freelancers and entrepreneurs

Here, we want to recommend some books for freelancers and entrepreneurs to read in the summer season. They are primarily focused on a professional field. It is not the only thing we should read, we must take advantage that we are not working to decompress our mind, occupy our head with other issues. Perhaps when we have succeeded in doing so, it is the moment where we can be more receptive to take advantage of some of the teachings of these works.

1.      The boxes of success

Unlearning to learn again is one of the lessons we can find in the boxes of success of Aritz Urresti. How a successful professional by a series of professional vicissitudes comes to understand that his way of working so far was not correct and how bad he was doing his job. And this despite having a profitable company and professional success. The book is full of examples, from a taxi driver to a hairdresser or senior business executives who attend their seminars and those who change their lives radically. There is another way to work, have more free time and be happy.

2.      The 4-hour workweek

Work to earn money and be happy. Timothy Ferris in his book the 4-hour workweek explains how many of us self-deceive ourselves, how we ended up working much longer than would be necessary to then not achieve the ultimate goal of being happy. The book offers us clear guidelines to free up time and at the same time generate enough income so that our life really makes sense and we get what we want. For this, he will teach us strategies, to use tools that we have at our fingertips and to which we are not able to take advantage.

3.      The 7 habits of highly productive people

This is one of the classic books that every entrepreneur should read. Stephen Covey offers us in practical way habits that we have to incorporate into our routine in order to have the necessary determination that leads us to triumph. It is not easy, because breaking bad habits requires a lot of effort. At the same time making every learning habit becomes a time, so including the seven that he proposes will be a long way.

4.      Finance for entrepreneurs

It is another of the 1st entrepreneur books. The financial education is something that fails miserably in many who want to lead their own company. It's not just about having a solid business plan. Antonio Manzanera teaches us how financial education will allow us to close investment agreements in an advantageous way offering security and trust for investors.

5.      Productivity to work in the office

Concentrating in the office may seem impossible. Regular distractions, constant meetings, tasks that always seem urgent and constant interruptions prevent us from being productive. Berto Pena teaches us to prioritize tasks, work with our boss, however; also with colleagues and learn to handle the interruptions of others. In short, it shows us the way to be productive in the office in spite of everyone and also to our regret.
