Ask any billionaire or successful entrepreneur and they will stress the importance of reading. All those articles you see on Business Insider, Entrepreneur, and Inc? You know the ones -"Daily Habits of Successful People" and they feature Mark Cuban, Elon Musk, and Richard Branson.

Here are some of my favorite books that have stood the test of time. Okay, Gary Vaynernuck and Simon Sinek's are more recent (2013 + 2009), but Napoleon Hill and Stephan R. Covey have been crushng it since 1937 and 1989. I have read all of these multiple times, and every time I pick up on something new. 

Here's how to get the most out of them: don't rush through them. Read them with a notebook and pen - take notes. Review your notes and put the lessons into action. Do that and you will see a huge transformation.
