Top books worth my dollar spent: By Katie

• Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki: For years, we’ve heard of this book. I’ve finally picked it up and suggest you do the same. The book encourages you to OWN a company instead of work for one and make the money work for you. Kiyosaki offers start-up knowledge we can use instead of bragging about his own achievements.
• The Girl’s Guide to Starting Your Own Business by Caitlin Friedman and Kimberly Yorio: Great nuts and bolts to beginning a business. The book is targeted toward young women, though if men don’t mind the pink cover, they’d be wise to open this book, too.

Books not worth wasting your dollar:

(In other words, I can’t believe I wasted my money here instead of making profit-growing investments somewhere else)

• Trump: Think Like a Billionaire by Donald Trump: If you’re interested in pictures of Trump’s trophy wife, which wines you have to have for Trump to consider you successful, and Trump’s esteem, you might consider this book. If you want to gain insight into how you can find success, don’t look here.
• The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy (Rich Dad, Poor Dad series book, believe it or not): The book contains a few good tips if you’re willing to spend the time sifting for them. The most successful people I know in real estate seemed to follow the completely opposite strategy from that suggested in this text.
• 
  
  Who Moved my Cheese? By Spencer Johnson and Kenneth H. Blanchard: While this book is interesting, we’re trying to become rich for ourselves, not readjust within the rat race, 9-5 structure. This book isn’t for us.

I’m always reading, always learning. As a result, I’ll be sure to keep you posted on books worth your investment money.
