    t is very hard to keep up with the new books on business. I find reading Harvard Business Review magazine http://hbr.org/magazine keeps me on top of what is happening in the business world.

    "The Go-Giver" and "Go-Givers Sell More" are fantastic!

    "Hug Your Customers" has been out for a long time but it really put my head on straight back then.
    The 4 Hour Work Week" realy helps you prioritize what to outsource vs. keep on your plate too.

    I've enjoyed reading ReWork - it's a quick read and very much to the point. The points are applicable to any business, but in the creative industry is is super applicable. I've also enjoyed The Wealthy Freelancer. This is a must read. Even if you aren't a "freelancer" per se, if you own your own business, you kind of are...

What do you think?
