10 “Top 10″ Lists Every Entrepreneur Should Read

Business By AJ Vaynerchuk Dec 17th |

Over the years I have learned that there is a large group of entrepreneurs who feel as if they are always too busy and can not dedicate too much time to something they do not consider critical to the business. With that being said, I decided to make a blog post that highlights the 10 “Top 10″ entrepreneur related lists that I think entrepreneurs would enjoy – simply because each post is quick to read (aka a list) and relates to entrepreneurship. Enjoy: ( also keep in mind not all of these lists are actually 10 items long, sorry! )

1. 10 Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read – Reading isn’t essential but it can be a great way to relax, yet still work.

2. 10 of the Best Social Media Tools for Entrepreneurs – Tools are important, and so is social media.

3. A Dozen of the Best Start Up Pitches on the Web – Good perspective for anyone who likes product and marketing. Also for the start-up in you.

4. 10 Definitive Tips for Writing Captivating Emails – Email marketing is still a great tool for business, and this is a good read.

5. The Eight Best Questions we got While Raising Venture Capital – Always good to know more about Venture Capital.

6. Essential Online Tools for Your Startup – A bit different than #2, worth reading as well.

7. Are You an Entrepreneur? – Just for fun really.

8. Rules of Productivity – A lot of entrepreneurs stress productivity (including me).

9. The First Jobs of 10 Wealthy Entrepreneurs – Just a good read to keep things in perspective. Also shows you why patience is key.

10. Keys to Entrepreneurial Success – Everyone wants to be successful right?

  • This is a really great list with some fantastic suggestions! I'm always on the hunt for great ideas that will help me to expand my business.
  • A top 10 list of top 10 lists... genius (and very useful).
  • Charles, appreciate the kind words. I think it's probably a bit more useful than genius :)
  • Thanks for including my article in your post. These ten lists are all great reads.
  • No problem, the post deserved its inclusion!
  • Great list, AJ. I love that it's got both good resources and some great amusement in it. It also brings up another point (which I wrote about), which is that one-size-fits-all does not work with advice for entrepreneurs, because each of us has different ventures, different visions and different goals. Thanks for the read!
  • Alora, thanks for the kind words!
  • Awesome list, thanks AJ! lots to get through but all looks worthwhile!
  • Thanks for the kind words Tyron. This list was actually compiled over a 1-2 month span. Every time I found an article I liked, I added it to a text doc in preparation for this post.
  • Love the list, except the part about reading isn't essential...
  • Mike, just a personal thought. I truly don't think you need to read books to run a great business.
  • Fantastic list AJ. you should check out my buddy @andrewwarner website for startups called Mixergy.com. In fact, he did an interview a while back with @garyvee.

    Everyone should check out: Keys to Entrepreneurial Success – Everyone wants to be successful right? @lance is a startup rockstar.
  • Jonathan, thanks for the kind words and suggestion. Little known secret, I was one of the first interviews on mixergy (before video) - http://mixergy.com/aj-vaynerchuk/
  • Great list AJ! This comes at a good time as I am trying to decide if I should continue to look for employment or start my own internet marketing firm.
  • Joel, thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your decision. If you'd like, shoot me an email anytime. aj [at] vaynermedia [dot] com.
  • Great list, thanks for sharing! Would love to add a list of ten startuper's blogs to follow.
  • Thanks Andrew. Might have to look into the startuper blog list.
