Below are my list of recommended Automation Tools, Books, and everything else I know New and Veteran Entrepreneurs Need!
I use loom to make video SOPs, to quickly talk to my staff or my clients and quickly explain my thoughts or give instructions.
Do you know how easy it is to talk to your team (who is all online) when you can just record yourself doing something via video? It's incredible!
Google Drive is a super easy to use tool that will let you upload your files and organize them online. It's connected to your Gmail Account (Free & Paid) and is an incredible tool to make documents and keep your info somewhere safe
I use the paid version of Google Drive via GSuite (now called Google Workspace) because it gives me more space and more security for when I share docs with my staff. Use these codes to get a discount!

A must read for black entrepreneurs especially. The first black man and man period to perform a Billion Dollar International Leveraged Buy Out.
Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun? is the inspiring story of Reginald Lewis: lawyer, Wall Street wizard, philanthropist - and the wealthiest Black man in American history.
At the time of his death in 1993, his personal fortune was estimated in excess of $400 million and his vast commercial empire spanned four continents. Despite the notoriety surrounding Lewis's financial coups, little has been written about the life of this remarkable man. Based on Lewis's unfinished autobiography, as well as scores of interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, the book cuts through the myth and media hype to reveal the man behind the legend. What emerges is a vivid portrait of a proud, fiercely determined individual with a razor-sharp tongue - and an intellect to match.
I read this book initially while on vacation to learn more about the business acquisition world. Take a look:
Imagine being offered a chance to invest in a solid, debt-free, profitable company that was going to go public tomorrow at below market rates. Now imagine getting that offer twenty or more times a year. This is the model that Callum Laing and his team have been working on since 2015. By marrying the capital markets with the small business ecosystem, Entrepreneurial Investing shows you how you can start investing today in projects that have the fast growth of a tech company, the dividend policy of your favorite cash cow and the job impact that most governments can only dream of.
This was the book that inspired by love for systems and processes. Highly recommended for EVERYONE:
In this first new and totally revised edition of the over two million copy bestseller, The E-Myth, Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. Next, he walks you through the steps in the life of a business -- from entrepreneurial infancy through adolescent growing pains to the mature entrepreneurial perspective: the guiding light of all businesses that succeed -- and shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business, whether it is a franchise or not
A classic read for all entrepreneurs. You have to read this ASAP:
Rich Dad Poor Dad is the #1 personal finance book of all time. Listen today to set yourself up for a wealthy, happy future.
- Explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
- Challenge the belief that your house is an asset
- Define once and for all an asset and a liability
- Show parents why they can’t rely on the school system to educate kids about money
- Clearly lay out what to teach kids about money for their future financial success
This book was given to me as a gift to learn about the power of IULs. I executed on it immediately. Read all about IULs here:
In Mark's third book, learn why Indexed Universal Life Insurance (IUL) has become a new asset class--protecting investors from both taxes and market declines. Why many American families are using IUL as a hedge against inflation, rising taxes and even how they grow their wealth during a recession. Learn how the right IUL can be used to build your personal tax-free family bank
Read this at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey and I still use the concepts to this day!
The author of cult classics The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability.
Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: sales - expenses = profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows.
