For me: Steve Job's biography.

I learned a lot from this book. Lessons learned: content is king and this quote :
“If you act like you can do something, then it will work.”

it's a stupid quote... it will never work for real, because if you know nothing in medicine and pretend to be a doctor it won't work))

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Simply teaches you that regardless of your situation you can find unlikely allies in unexpected forms, when you do take them along for the ride and together there are no boundaries to your possibilities

I quite like "The 1-Page Marketing Plan" by Allan Dib. A very concise, easy to read book with good insights as to what to focus on in marketing. After all, all companies need sales where marketing work plays a major role to it.

Jim Collins' book "Good to Great" focuses on the difference between companies who perform well and those who don't. He argues that if a company wants to succeed, they need to focus not only on their products, but also their customers and employees.

1. The Art Of War - Sun Tzu
This classic work on military strategy written by Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu is considered the foundation of strategic thinking in the West. In addition to being a great read, it's full of timeless advice that still rings true today.
2. The E-Myth Revisited - Michael Gerber
Michael Gerber's seminal work on entrepreneurship was first published in 1989. He revisits his ideas about how small businesses can create real value for their customers.
3. Good To Great - Jim Collins
Jim Collins' best seller looks at what separates companies that succeed from those that don't. His research shows that companies who make the transition from good to great have clear goals that inspire employees and align everyone around them to achieve success.
4. Think And Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill
Hill's 1937 classic offers a step-by-step guide to success. It covers topics including self-discipline, goal setting, and personal responsibility.
5. Built To Last - James C. Collins & Jerry Porras
The authors behind the wildly popular 'Good to Great' follow up with a look at longevity and how successful companies stay strong for decades.
6. How To Win Friends And Influence People - Dale Carnegie
Carnegie's 1936 classic on persuasion became a modern classic over 80 years later. Today, thousands of people use its principles each day, whether they realize it or not.
7. The Power Of Habit - Charles Duhigg
Duhigg breaks down how habits are formed and how entrepreneurs can leverage them to build competitive advantage.

That's a great pick! Steve Jobs' biography definitely offers some valuable life lessons. The quote you mentioned is a solid reminder of the power of self-belief and confidence. Fake it till you make it, right? Makes you wonder how much of success is just stepping up and taking the reins.
