Ideas that stood out: Million Dollar Consulting Value Based Pricing Follow Up Dream 100 list (Dream 10 list) Hand to hand combat/marketing Keep your desk clean. Create Dashboards Be repetitive about your mission. Journal every morning (reinforce) Spend time alone. Thank you Noah! You're the best older-brother type business coach. God bless you for all the work that you do! You're right about following up. Many of my wins are from following up, despite that, the rejections sometimes derail me. This video reminds me to keep going. I won't prevent silence of others prevent me following up. The right people will buy. I just have to be persistent.

“Older brother type business coach” is a great description I think :)

[@RodolfoOchoa]

And NEVER EVER wear earrings

[@DemetriPanici]

Definitely a different list than the usual "The 4 Hour Work Week" recommendations

[@alansummitconsulting]

Thanks, Noah! Greatly appreciated. Million Dollar Consulting is in its sixth edition as of November (McGraw-Hill).

[@brothersvanhees]

I like the way you spoke about each book by pointing out takeaways. I also like how you mentioned books that are not extremely popular.

[@choixmelchoir4325]

I own two of these books (The Ultimate Sales Machine and The Road Less Stupid). Another 2 of the books (Work Rules & The Score Takes Care of Itself), I am hearing about for the first time. The other 4 books ( Million Dollar Consulting, Maverick, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits and the Artist's Way), I have heard of before but I don't currently own them! Thanks for the recommendations, Noah. Appreciated. I also appreciate Noah's insights on what the highlights from the differnt books were for him.

[@sacongpauco4743]

Thanks Noah for this! It's great to have unique but effective books on my list. By the way, I really like how you structured your video - You started first with the PROBLEM then added the solution (books). Made a lot more sense to read those books and read more solution-based books. :)

[@docemmet]

Just read The Road Less Stupid few weeks ago... A M A Z I N G ! I will liste to the others. Thank you :)

[@johnroberts5101]

Noah Kagan is "high signal, low noise". I love how much useful information Noah packs into a short video. High-density! High-value!

[@shubhz7164]

Make a vedio about how did your Lifestyle changed and What did you did with the money when you became rich, did you gifted your mom something or buyed a car, what did you did with that huge amount of money? I Love your content, seriously , youtube is an amazing platform to learn if you use it rightly, I am young and these type of content influence my mind so much in the right direction, thankyou so much!

[@sarkardebajit]

Noah, this is a holistic, powerful guide to mastering the fundamentals of business. Thank you for sharing.

[@ForeverDiamonds123]

7:20 I have a better analogy: video games have dashboards. Health, shield bar, stamina, exp, etc. Now you can incorporate a dashboard into your business and make it feel more like a game

[@noahkagan]

Good one.

[@jeanineweise]

Love the Artist's Way! Julia Cameron is fabulous! Will have to check out some of your other recommendations. Great job Noah!

[@kevin-carr]

That ocean wave graphic was a nice detail :)

[@noahkagan]

Thanks KC

[@christopherarmstrong2710]

Great list, Noah! Many new suggestions I've never heard of here. I'm in the middle of reading _Work Rules!_ now, and it's a phenomenal resource to have as a startup entrepreneur.

[@austinbeyak2422]

thanks soo much for this. currently working through my stack of business books and always need more.

[@StephaniRoberts]

Love Julia Cameron’s method and morning pages. So good! Thanks for all the other books I’ve never heard of!

[@JohnLeSieur]

I don't always go on KZbin but when I do it's for Noah Kagan.

[@noahkagan]

THANKS JLS

[@joshcummins3916]

Really awesome list. I think the Million dollar consulting is just up my alley for what I need to consider.

[@noahkagan]

If you want to freelance or consult. Strong book for that.

[@palekenyanful]

❤️ you Noah! Thanks for making this video. This came at a perfect time.

[@noahkagan]

hell yea zach. enjoy

[@victoriaarinze2157]

Thanks for the recommendations, Noah.

[@KyleRutledge]

Why doesn't this video have more views by now? This is fire! 🔥

[@davegraedon8236]

Great suggestions! Keep up the great work, Noah!

[@leahspasova]

Always keen on getting book recommendations! Thanks, Noah! 🍭

[@lemonlaunch]

Going to the (digital) bookstore now. Thank you!

[@TDOLLA]

I own Ultimate Sales Machine but never read it. I think I’m gonna pull that one off the shelf. Also I love that as I am watching this video I get an email from Noah Kagan. I love Noah’s emails and just the way he markets in general. I am the type of person who signs up for everyones email lists and always lets my email be captured just so I can observe the way people market and how they follow up. Noah is definitely top tier in this regard and provides A METRIC SHIT TON of value.

[@masonharris8613]

Noah, I'd like to also respectfully suggest that you take a look at "The Chutzpah Advantage - Go Bigger. Be Bolder. Do Better." You and every one of your side-hustling, entrepreneurial, determined, self-help-minded fans will see themselves in the book, and leave with actionable takeaways. It has been endorsed by colleagues of yours, including one author you recommend. Oh, full disclosure, I'm also the author. (That's chutzpah.) Great list of books - thank you!

[@alexanderlewis2533]

These recommendations are fire. I added a few to my Amazon list. Great video, Noah!

[@mattkahnfinance]

Thanks for the advice!

[@victorblancotech]

Thanks Noah! great contribution

[@OvaisHusain]

Yelp, this video still hits. Bought your book, Noah.

[@teamalloy]

I’ve never thought of myself as a creative person either, im going to check out The Artist’s Way. And try morning pages.

[@rachelleolivar]

Let me start on “Work Rules”. Thanks for these recommendations Noah. 😄

[@johanneszwilling]

0:45 Also look up "Breaking the Time Barrier: How to Unlock Your True Earning Potential". Should be a freely available PDF/eBook published by Freshbooks about value based pricing.

[@garyhundle7553]

Great video, well said.

[@MarketingHarry]

These sound amazing, Noah. Never heard of some books here, but will definitely consider reading a couple from this list! Thanks for the recommendations. 👍

[@dpklabs]

Great list - definitely adding a few of these to my list!

[@RezaMuradi]

Thanks noah currently I am reading business communication and I am giving away a free copy of how to win friends and influence people in the digital age to my subscribers love your videos😃

[@flipb18b1]

I can't recommend the ultimate sales machine enough

[@zen662]

Why so?

[@coasttocoast-bn3yi]

Great content thankyou

[@hustlenationpodcast]

Love your content Noah. What's your favorite book?

[@CB-td4fz]

There’s a updated version of the Rockefeller habits now, with a recommendation from one of the founders of Atlassian!

[@masonharris8613]

Hi CB - Verne's follow-up book is Scaling Up. Good recommendation!

[@DouglasWidick]

Great Video, Noah!

[@hypesystem]

I know time passing feels super odd, and I hate to break it to you: but Semler's work in Semco covered in Maverick is closer to 30 years ago than 20 :D

[@Johnhasa1]

Now I need to find a summary video for each book🤓

[@edwardnygma5549]

Audible is your friend

[@noahkagan]

sometimes the summary / quick audio misses the depth / value of a book

[@estebangodoy386]

Reading is so freaking cool !!

[@torio9007]

Amazing one!

[@nicolasgramnea1324]

Amazing list. Thank you!! I was looking for the next read, good timing 👌

[@noahkagan]

wooooooot

[@shubhz7164]

Yes Uncle Noah 😍

[@mr.potato4276]

Underrated video

[@JoeDoe1]

Thank you.

[@danmanning6759]

I love that Noah uses a dollar bill for a bookmark... It's the old joke, "If you spend more than a dollar for a bookmark, you've wasted your dollar." Def checking out The Artist's Way! Some other books I really enjoyed about the subject of creativty: Creativity by John Cleese, about his process for writing Monty Python sketches The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp, which is about creativity through the lens of a choreographer, which was really eye opening Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman, about reverse engineering creativity and reproducing it.

[@noahkagan]

hell yea dan :)

[@banuandrei6702]

Ima read them all

[@LeanneHughes]

Yes! Upvote for Million Dollar Consutling!

[@nikovelikov]

Added the books to my Audible wish list! Thaks!

[@hrishikeshsingh69]

[@upvotecomment2110]

A video remake? I think you already recommended this books in a past video of yours

[@Alex_Donnovan]

It's always a great idea to recommend books.

[@HellenicWolf]

THANKS, NOAH. WHERE'S YOUR BOOK THOUGH?

[@andriimaslov1226]
