David’s Top books for Business Development
The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business
By Patrick M. Lencioni *
Narrated by Patrick M. Lencioni
Retailer’s Description
There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are.

By Grant Cardone

To reach the next level, you must understand the coveted 4th degree of action. This 4th degree, also know as the 10X Rule, is that level of action that guarantees companies and individuals realize their goals and dreams.

4. The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business
By Josh Kaufman
Narrated by Josh Kaufman
Retailer’s Description
Getting an MBA is an expensive choice-one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping business school altogether.
