Being an entrepreneur takes equal amounts of careful planning and risk taking. Not sure how to balance those? Reading about successful entrepreneurs can inspire you and help you understand what you need to do in order to make your real estate business thrive.

These are a few of the best entrepreneurship books for beginning business owners:

  • “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson. This best-selling biography provides insight into the mind of one of the technology industry’s most well-known entrepreneurs. While Jobs is praised for his innovative ideas, the book also gives business owners an important lesson on the importance of treating those around you with respect, which is something that the former Apple CEO struggled with.
  • “The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life” by Alice Schroeder. Buffett is a well-respected investor, but it took years of effort for him to achieve that kind of success. This book lets entrepreneurs know how Buffett went about building his financial empire and explores the principles he follows, such as keeping debt to a minimum and taking risks when others are afraid to.
  • “Shark Tales: How I Turned $1000 Into a Billion Dollar Business” by Barbara Corcoran.  This book provides an entertaining read on the life of businesswoman Barbara Corcoran. Her story differs considerably from those of Jobs and Buffett. Corcoran started out as a waitress working at a diner, then slowly and successfully built up financial success through careful investing.

These entrepreneurship books for beginning business owners give you the chance to read what others have done in order to become a success. They’re a great source of inspiration for those who are just getting their real estate business up and running.
