Before we begin, let me make one thing clear:
You can read these 5 books all you want, but if you don’t TAKE ACTION with what you learn, you’ll waste your time.
You must learn, apply, succeed and repeat.
Got it?
All of these books are a gem.
You’ll gain the power and knowledge to DOUBLE your income FASTER than you thought possible.
Don’t make the mistake of reading them just once.
They contain a TON of information and must be read a minimum of 7 times.
So grab a highlighter, take notes and teach others what you learn.
Why?
Because when you teach others, you learn the material 10x better.
With that said, let’s get started.
Here are 5 books that changed my bank account and continue to do so.
1) Think and Grow Rich
This one shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Unless I’m the first “success blog” you read, you’ve heard about Think and Grow Rich.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
Period.
The success principals inside are pure GOLD!
Anyone who lacks an understanding of these principals will not increase their income.
Sure, you might make a couple extra bucks an hour at your job if you put in hard work for MANY years.
But…
You’ll never experience a FLOOD of thousands of dollars into your bank account without reading Think and Grow Rich.
There’s a reason why countless successful people recommend it…IT WORKS!
Honestly, I don’t take anyone serious who hasn’t read it.
…And you won’t either after you read it.
2) The Millionaire Fastlane
Do you have a job?
If so, you’ll want to quit immediately after reading The Millionaire Fastlane!
What a ride this book is!
It’s not a short, but the writing style and entertaining stories (especially the one about the limo company) makes it a THRILL to read.
MJ DeMarco opens your eyes to the realization that you’ll never truly enjoy life working a full-time job.
The whole working 40+ years, saving every penny you can, and investing in a 401k will never allow you to travel the world and enjoy everything life has to offer.
Sure, you might be able to do it when your 65, but not NOW when you’re young, full of energy and craving experiences.
See the difference?
This book lights a fire under your ass to start your own business venture so you can quickly replace your current income and then double it within 5 years.
3) Cashvertising
This book is extremely under priced.
If you ask me, it should be sold for $500.
It’s like the author took his best money making ideas, stuffed them into a machine gun, and shot them out all at once.
Inside Cashvertising you’ll learn how to motivate people, how to sell to them, and the real reasons why people buy.
If you start a blog, write articles, create an eBook and apply the information inside this book – money will quickly begin to flood into your bank account.
You don’t need to know a damn thing about copywriting, selling or motivating people.
This book shows you all the basics.
Cashvertising is one of the few books I’ve read where every page teaches you something – There’s absolutely ZERO filler!
4) Triggers
Triggers hooked me from chapter one.
There’s a story about ordering a sundae at a diner that’s very interesting.
The author asks for the same order twice, but in different ways.
Interestingly enough, by ordering the SAME thing in a different way, he gets it cheaper!
You immediately realize how and why people are willing to pay more for the same thing depending on how it’s positioned.
If you’re SERIOUS about making money on the internet, you MUST read this book so you can understand how and why people make buying decisions.
You’ll learn 30 powerful triggers that motivate people to buy your product immediately.
If you read this book and study the sales letters I’ve created for my eBooks, you’ll notice how I use many of the techniques shared inside.
5) Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
Influence is an all-time classic!
A priceless chapter is where the scenario of using the word “because” at a copy machine is mentioned.
I won’t give away too much because it’s injustice to the author, but this one golden technique alone makes the book worth $100
It’s so interesting how the smallest and most simple things can get people to say “Yes”.
Inside this book, you’ll discover 7 proven ways to motivate people to do what you want.

Hey Alex,
I’d also add anything by Robert Greene as essential for learning insights on how to understand and deal with the people we cross paths with. After all, financial success almost always comes down to how well we understand our target market and/or career success working for someone else. The 48 Laws of Power is a book that guys like Jayz and 50 Cent swear were their biggest influences.
Alexander Writer says
Hi Chad,
Yes, 48 Laws of Power is a fantastic book. Another classic by Robert Greene is Mastery.
Remy Apker says
Triggers and Think And Grow Rich are available on Kindle Unlimited. It’s a great investment each month for books.
I got a Kindle Paperwhite specifically for the Kindle Unlimited books, and have not regretted either. So many books on mindset and marketing, as well as diet and exercise included in the membership. I recommend it.

Thanks for sharing Remy!

If you haven’t already read it, you should read, The Richest Man in Babylon. It is another great book to read.
