The awesome and entertaining story of Virgin with lots of great advice and startup David vs Goliath inspiration. Will make you consider what determination and the little guy can achieve.
I keep coming back to this when I feel like I need a morale boost.
Losing my Virginity by Richard Branson All these are fantastic and very intelligent autobiographies by the very awesome people.
It made me realize I've never really hustled in my life. Reading it was a humbling experience. When I finished the book I was on the verge of tears, an odd mix of shame and wonder.
The book inspired me to stop making excuses and be more confident.
