Shark Tales by Barbara Corcoran
If you haven’t seen the show Shark Tank, you’re really missing out. If you have, then you definitely know Barbara Corcoran, the shark who has invested nearly $5.5 million in products seen on the show. This book shares everything you need to know about how, exactly, she has that much money to invest. It’s Barbara’s tell-all story about how she went from failing at 22 jobs to creating a multi-billion dollar real estate company from a $1,000 “loan” from a boyfriend. No really – that's what happened. Pretty incredible, right?
#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso
Sophia Amoruso is the founder of Nasty Gal and Girlboss and self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur” (she recently started offering her own online courses about starting your own business). Her book #GIRLBOSS is all about her story of moving from an outcast and school dropout to a CEO. If you’re feeling some imposter syndrome, this book is a great reminder that you don’t have to be a Harvard grad to start your own business.

She also shares some personal stories about creativity that have stuck with me since I read it for the first time. It’s a quick read that will leave you feeling ready to take on the world and your business!
