MKTV #8 – The 3 Most Influential Books My Friends and I Have Ever Read

by Mike Kim 17 Comments

Poor minds compete with one another, rich minds empower one another.

That’s why I recently spent two days at an exclusive mastermind with 8 other business owners in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho (or CDA, as it’s locally known).

One of the best topics we discussed were the 3 most influential books we’ve ever read, and the 3 books we’re reading right now. In this vlog, I share my experiences in CDA. My top 3 books were:

  • Three Kingdoms (a Chinese historical novel)
  • Necessary Endings
  • Codependent No More

In the video however, I share a different business-related book because I wanted the content to be more relevant to you those building a business.
