Back when I worked for someone else, I never dreamed of reading business-related books outside of work. I remember when everyone was reading Showdown at Gucci Gulf and I was like, “NERDZ!”. There’d be no non-required business-reading for me, thankyouverymuch, I was done with school!
Ah, youth.
Since then, my father (also a CPA) recommended The Big Short. While about things kinda-related-to-my-profession, The Big Short is written like a thriller and I’d recommend it to everyone CPA or not. Yes, it’s a thriller about the bond market. Just go pick it up at the library. What do you have to lose?
Now, as a newly-minted business owner, I’m gobbling up business books. Or, rather, specific chapters in a wide array of business books. Right now, my focus is marketing – getting my name out there as someone to turn to with accounting queries. Enter, The Ultimate Sales Machine, my current text. I got it used, so I’m already ahead of the game in the money-savings department.
That yellow post-it flag? It marks the Marketing chapter. I’m going to start this bad boy in the middle.

Awesome! I might have to check this out. I’ve avoided reading business books so far simply because my reading time is when I wind down for the day, and it doesn’t really make sense to read something business related then. But I’ve been thinking about carving out a little time during the work day to do some business reading, maybe during a lunch break or something.

Yeah, I’m a HUGE “for fun” reader so the idea of business books was a little… unwelcome… but they make good down-time to-dos!

Any reading suggestions for someone who’s looking to get a handle on slightly more than the basics of financial literacy and “The Economy” in general? I’m getting to the age (I hate that I just said that) where I need to start getting a little more savvy about 401ks and IRAs, but I have no idea where to start.
Helena says
Naked Economics! I read that book solely so I could explain things to people. He has funny, relate-able examples but tells you real stuff.
Erin says
Thanks, lady! I put it in my Amazon order today. Looking forward to making it my bedtime book 🙂
