I went from barely finishing high school to now flying my private jet to speak at John Maxwell events.
But none of that would have happened if I didn't read THESE 11 books.
Seriously…
When kids yell through the window of my yellow Ferrari Pista and ask me what I do…
I tell them… I read books.
Specifically biographies.
That's where you learn from people who’ve built the most impressive companies in the world.
And it took me 111 biographies to build this list for you.
Read these, take the advice, and get rich.

Nixorus holds the key to forbidden money books, which have truly transformed my life, it's worth exploring.

[@PatriciaMary11]

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

[@IsabellaJulialove]

Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.

[@BrianShannon241]

It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.

[@BradleyRaiph]

The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.

[@TheoXavier-5]

Many individuals report success in investing in stocks, forex, and cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), yet I continue to struggle. Can somebody help me out or advise me on what to do?

[@GraceAmber369]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.

[@keajd1178]

Wow, great video, sir! I just wanted to say that the book "Trailblazer" mentioned in the video is fantastic. I've read a similar book called "Bleuprint For Unlimited Success," and personally, I think it's even better. I highly recommend both books to everyone.

Thank you for the list! ❤

[@mamasoliev_u]

Brother just wanted to say thank you very much. As a teenager in the third world thats tryna make it, youve been very helpful. Will do my absolute best not only to talk the talks or listen the listens but also to walk the walks. Would appreciate a lot if you shared a few pieces of advise for people at their teens or early 20s, would love to learn and expand with the atmosphere that has been created for me thanks to people like you. Thanks again sir

[@danmartell]

Appreciate the comment! Will keep sharing my best stuff Appreciate you

[@homodeus8713]

Well done. Great attitude 👏👏👏

[@eatingfreelyprogram]

I have a quote from Jack Ma (founder of Ali Baba), on my vision board - "once in your life, try something. Work hard at something. Try to change. Nothing bad can happen" . ❤ Whether you start with a job to learn from the inside or start your hustle straight away, just keep going and see every experience (success or failure) as learning. I wish you great luck and success. Emma

Also Ray Kroc's Grinding It Out, about his work with and ultimate 'takeover' of McDonalds.

[@TimoTalksTech]

Thanks for the list! Was just trying to ask something like this few months ago on X but didn't get this deep. Obviously Elon and Steve Jobs popped but none of the others

[@Sulber007]

Such an amazing video! I will start reading those books as well. About five days ago, I bought the book 'Manifesting Money.' It is really an amazing book; you should all read it.

[@danmartell]

That’s what I learned from 111 biographies:) Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments below👊

[@Scottweeier846]

I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Patricia Annie Brooks

[@Josephbasta827]

I'm surprised that you just mentioned Annie Brooks here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.

[@carolynvo7802]

Annie Brooks has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's

[@Rodriguezpaul-9]

I'm a long term investor, I withdrew my profits of over £61,000 during the covid-19 pandemic.

[@AmandaStewart0908]

Her good reputation already speaks for her .I’m also one of the beneficiary of Annie Brooks. So happy I gave it a trial after being skeptic of the process.

[@Scottweeier846]

she's mostly on Instagrams, using the user name

[@andod881]

I’d add Poor Charlie’s Almanack (though it’s not really a biography) and Made in America by Sam Walton.

[@danmartell]

Great book

[@kency96]

[@fixhormones]

Your book is definitely on my top books to read list!!!

[@danmartell]

I’ll put it on the next list;)

[@GabrielRyanCo]

He ain’t lying re: Shoe Dog. So well written to keep you turning the pages, which makes it easy to extract all the powerful lessons from Phil Knight’s story. If you just pick one, it’s Shoe Dog.

[@danmartell]

So true I couldn’t put it down Such a good book

Thanks Dan for this great video. I’m just at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey but I promise I will read these great books ❤❤❤❤

[@danmartell]

🙏🙏🙏

[@JeffSMcCallum]

I love that most business problems are personal problems that is 100% true

[@danmartell]

Yup!

[@Andrew_Lewis01]

Thank you Dan, followed you for a while and have found your content good value. From what you have read and studied it is no wonder that you create good videos that people watch from beginning to end.

[@danmartell]

Appreciate you!!

[@Painmore]

Thanks for everything, Dan! Also I just want to applaud your video editor, amazing work! The audio is desynced later on tho. Can I follow him somewhere?

[@danmartell]

Appreciate you! I’ll relay to the team

11 very interesting books to read every night🌜🌚 And thank you for sharing these 11 very important books💯👍🏻

[@NateSecor]

I just bought all the books minus musk which I already read, for 88 bucks on Amazon including shipping and mostly hard cover. Education really isn't about money. Neither is financial success. Thank you for your video, your authenticity, and your contribution to all you employ and help.

[@danmartell]

Appreciate the kinds words🙏 Trying to do my part

[@tonispark5626]

Interesting, i was expectin the typical books like Think and grow rich, Rich dad poor dad, Richest man in Babylon and so on kind of books,,,but again thank you Dan for sharing with us these books, cliché but so important reading books. A man who doesnt read has has no advantage on a man who cant read

[@Phil-zc4mx]

I live in UK, I've got several airbnbs, I'm building a house and I trade with over a million in the markets. Listening to people like Dan is what will get me from several million, to 10 or 20 million, I'm so glad I've identified that - previously I thought all coaching was mostly nonsense.

[@danmartell]

Appreciate the kind words👊 Pumped you got value

[@Bikegypsy-Studio]

Merci Dan! I write a book review blog. You’re my next ‘Entrepreneur book list’ subject.

[@Ammar_Abdilghanie]

Thank you Dan for sharing these amazing gems with the community!

[@LRHK]

Some great books and I have a few to add to my list!

[@danmartell]

You bet! Keep it up👊

[@towersofzeyron]

I've learned that the book is important, make no mistake about that. It makes a lot of difference, but it's not what does it. What does it and gets you to a million, is you doing the million dollar work. So, buckle up and actually apply the lessons! My own favorite millionaire biography, in terms of applicability, is probably Mark Anastasi's The Laptop Millionaire!

[@kency96]

Thank you for sharing ❤, very helpful

[@peaklifebrandon]

Love it! Thanks Dan. I would also highly recommend Build by Tony Fadell (the guy behind Nest Thermometer) and some of the best Apple products.

[@danmartell]

Such a great book

[@Aher02]

In what way you read books. What method of reading you use how you remember what you read for weeks abd months ?

[@danmartell]

I study books, highlight sentences, create content around ir

[@andrewdavidcourtney7665]

Time for a biography binge session. 2 weeks, 11 books. Who’s up for the challenge? Report back when done ✅

[@maxwellanderson007]

Cool List. I will give it a try.

[@nikolaassmit4791]

There's a guy who stood up in a seminar who said "I have read over 200 books in self development, business and life" and he still wasn't successful or wealthy?

[@alvinprettyman1802]

THANKS for posting starting with Henry Ford.

[@danmartell]

You got it👊

[@methodlab07]

Henry Ford also destroyed urban Detroit by buying out the public transportation, shutting it down (so that everyone had to buy his "affordable" cars), and firing those that had no way to get to work... leading to massive unemployment and the ensuing crime cycle

[@egyleader]

Love the content … love the title ❤
