Top 5 Business Audio Books for Kindle Geeks

1. The 4-Hour Workweek

4 hour weekThis is the runaway best seller from Tim Ferriss who also happens to run a hugely popular blog, by the same name. The idea is simple, outsource or die. To be more specific it’s about transforming your dreaded 9 to 5 into a lifestyle of choice and having an actual say in your day to day work activities.

Tim does a great job of creating an entire movement based on his zen philosophy of creating an ideal work environment where productivity is set up in such a way as to produce the most results in half the time. An enjoyable read and a must have in your audio book collection.
2. Crush It

Crush ItWritten by one extremely energetic wine shop guru, Crush It is the #1 New York Times best selling book by Gary Vaynerchuk. He also runs a highly visited blog and the book covers the subject of passion. Do you have it? Do you care? and Will you do what it takes to succeed in this new media business world? These are the questions Gary asks and answers in his debut business book. If you lack even a tiny bit of motivation, run out and grab this audio book, because after reading it, you will be born again. A born again business marketing maverick. A highly entertaining book meant to inspire some fire out of whoever reads it.

3. Made To Stick

Made to StickOne of my personal favorites from brothers Dan Heath and Chip Heath. This book is all about making your ideas stick, as in creating something people believe in and will follow till the day they die. The book is filled with loads of examples of stories and entrepreneurs who have made their ideas into multi-million dollar businesses that captured a willing and eager audience. This book will give you numerous tips on how to take your idea from a possibility to a viable concept that you can profit from for years to come. The two brothers have another book out called Switch that is also worth your time, as is any book the Heath brothers come out with.

4. Start Something That Matters

Start SomethingThis title speaks to the new generation born and raised on the web. It’s a fascinating read on how and what makes us likely to follow a brand and or cause. Written by Blake MyCoskie who runs the wildly successful online shoe shop Tom’s Shoes, he delves into the way he runs his company and how you too can choose to profit from good noble business ideas.

In a down economy, his company is thriving and scores of evangelists sign up daily to purchase and consume his goods. That the Tom’s Shoes way.

5. The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur

Toilet PaperThis funny and engaging book from author Michael Michalowicz is perfect for that long drive home or that upcoming 7 hour plane trip that you’re not too excited about. It takes a no holds barred approach to getting things done without whining and complaining, and taking your business to the next level. Michael is a great story teller and he definitely “tells it, like it is” in this entertaining and fun read.

With our ever busy lives and constant on the go world, it’s nice to know technology can lend a hand via tools and devices which make life go a tad smoother and entertainment is a click away. The text-to-speech feature built into the Kindle along with the audio capabilities, makes this e-reader one to keep an eye on.
