5 must-read books successful founders say helped them get ahead in life via CNBCMakeIt
"This book is about the power of persuasion through authenticity. It helped me dig deep and discover the courage that comes from truly being myself. As a result, I've taken risks that paid off for my clients where other lawyers wouldn't. In law and business, put the tricks and techniques aside and get to know your client, business, case, and most importantly, yourself.
Spence shows you just how to do that. He writes about his uncle Slim, a real-life cowboy, who once told him, 'You can't get nowhere with a $1,000 saddle on a $10 horse.'

That won't work in the long run unless you take time to discover the power that comes from being the unique, authentic, and perfectly imperfect human that you truly are. "5. "The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be:"I used to hang out with people going nowhere, and at the end of high school I wasn't going anywhere either.
Reading it, I had an epiphany every five pages, and several lessons still stand out to me. I learned not to blame others or the world, and to take responsibility for where and who I was. Only then did I have the power to change my situation. Other takeaways: Decide what you want. There's no perfect path; so pick a direction, get moving, and adjust as you go. Finally, don't spend time with negative, unmotivated people, because they'll drag you down with them. If you want to be successful, spend time around ambitious, positive, successful people.
