This autobiography about Tesla is probably the best book Iāve ever read. Not sure how I stumbled on it but it was so good. Highly recommended, especially considering the crowd Radar gathers.
Someone on Twitter recommended this book and I never regretted checking it out. In fact itās one of my favorite business books til date. A codified version of my sentiments about business, proven by someone way more successful than I. Documented proof that business could be done the way I dream of.
I never thought Iād find the Stock Market interesting. It just seemed like glorified gambling to me. Still does in a way, but I learned a whole lot more about what it could be used to accomplish. The tip on this came courtesy of Warren Buffett by way of Bill Gates. Grateful I checked it out because it changed my mind on what the stock market is and how it could be used.

I would also add Never Eat Alone. This is a great book that can be continuously referenced back to as you are learning how to build relationships. I also believe in the Nigerian context this book will help you stand out when trying to grow your network.
