4. The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchar & Spencer Johnson

5. The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley and William Danko
Some personal finance books promise to show the reader how to become a millionaire. The Millionaire Next Door (by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko) is different. It is built on years of research, on a body of statistics and case studies. It doesn’t make hollow promises. Instead, it profiles people who have already become millionaires. This is a subtle but important difference, and more then 2 million copies sold and three years on the New York Times bestseller list can’t be wrong. Buy The Millionaire Next Door Conclusion
I love Gitomers Sales Bible – you are right to have it as a resource!
Happy selling!
