1. “So many books, so little time.” ― Frank Zappa
In this week’s article, 5 Ways for Becoming More Entrepreneurial Minded, I mention the importance of books in entrepreneurship. A simple Google search on the best business books will yield countless of results, with each book sharing different lessons and walking you through a unique experience. If you don’t like taking big risks, then a good business book will be your best friend; Rather than making mistakes and learning from them yourself, you’ll learn from other people’s mistakes and save much time and money.
2. “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” ― Mark Twain
Being open and honest about who you are and what you do is the best way to make friends. This is especially true in a business setting, where relationships matter more than most other things. Don’t be afraid to share your authentic self and let your personality shine. Others will respect you for it.

3. “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ― Rob Siltanen
Until next week,
Mike van der Poel
