Geupdate op: 5 november 2020 Bij deluxery zien we dat veel mensen ondernemen of willen beginnen met ondernemen, maar vaak niet precies weten hoe of welke strategie ze moeten hanteren. Ze beginnen niet, of het lukt niet om met hun bedrijf de volgende stap te zetten. Ondernemers die deze stap wel veelvuldig zetten zijn vaak mensen die continu hun kennis vergroten door het lezen van boeken. Boeken lezen is een essentieel onderdeel om kennis te vergaren en zo je onderneming te starten, of juist naar het volgende level te tillen. 
Het perfecte voorbeeld hiervan is misschien wel Warren Buffet, die op 89-jarige leeftijd nog steeds meerdere boeken per week leest. Hij laat zich niet afleiden door de hedendaagse technologie maar door boeken te lezen zichzelf continu verbeterd.
Daarom zet Deluxery 5 boeken op een rij die je zult helpen met het vergroten van je kennis omtrent runnen van een business, mindset, doorzettingsvermogen en strategie. En dat voor maar een paar tientjes. Misschien wel de beste investering in het je gehele ondernemers carrière
1. Principles – Ray Dalio
Het eerste boek dat we aanbevelen is: Principles – Ray Dalio. Voor 21,99 te koop bij bijvoorbeeld Bol.com
Review: 5.0/5.0
Informatie:
#1 New York Times Bestseller Significant…The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving. -The New York Times Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business-and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals. In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Bridgewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Bridgewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency. It is these principles, and not anything special about Dalio-who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood-that he believes are the reason behind his success. In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of radical truth and radical transparency, include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating baseball cards for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both the Steve Jobs of investing and the philosopher king of the financial universe (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.

3. Think and Grow Rich – Napolean Hill
Het derde boek dat we aanbevelen is Think and Grow Rich – Napolean Hill. Voor 21,90 verkrijgbaar bij bijvoorbeeld bol.com.
Review: 4.5/5.0
Informatie:
The single greatest guide to achieving success ever written, featuring a new foreword by television star and entrepreneur Steve Harvey!
Think and Grow Rich, first published in 1937, took more than twenty years of research to compile. Napoleon Hill was a journalist and writer who later served as an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. His big break came with his interview of Andrew Carnegie in 1908. Intrigued by Carnegie’s assertion that the path to success could be broken down into a simple yet comprehensive formula, Hill accepted Carnegie’s challenge to study and interview more than five hundred extremely successful individuals to determine to what they owed their vast achievements.
This masterwork identifies thirteen principles that every person should adopt if they are serious about achieving success–all are empirically based in the aforementioned decades of research. Hill has synthesized what wealthy and/or exceptionally successful individuals have in common. This classic guide is one of the bestselling books of all time, having sold twenty million copies by Hill’s death in 1970. With razor focus, desire, persistence, and perseverance you too can join the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie.

Most importantly, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. The E-Myth Revisited will help you grow your business in a productive, assured way.
5. Zero to one – Peter Thiel
Het vijfde en laatste boek dat we aanbevelen is Zero to one – Peter Thiel. Voor slechts 9,99 verkrijgbaar bij bol.com
Review: 4.7/5.0
Informatie:
What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. ‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla ‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook ‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan
