Research has indicated that reading fiction can not only help to boost your imagination but it can also increase your intelligence. However, if you are planning on building or expanding a business, it may be worthwhile spending a little time reading some business dev books. There is a wide selection of non fiction titles aimed at helping you to improve your financial situation but these are some Dilate recommended books for your business, which should be on your essential reading list.

THE 4 HOUR WORKWEEK BY TIMOTHY FERRISS

For many business owners, finding the time for marketing activities can be tricky.

Ferriss uses his real life experiences to assist in reducing stress and increasing available time.

CROSSING THE CHASM BY GEOFFREY MOORE

The book provides Moore’s insights and new marketing strategies for the digital world as well as examples of both successes and failures.
