1. All You Can Do is All You Can Do by Art Williams

I’ve read this book at lease five times. Art Williams started one of the largest network marketing companies in the world that is now known as Primerica. Art breaks down the key to winning in network marketing and in life. If you’ve heard me speak, you may have heard my talk on “Dreams are the fuel that fire desire” which comes straight out of this book. Art is a no nonsense, plain-speaking multi-millionaire who lays out his secrets to success in this page-turner!

2. Raising a Giant: A Books about Network Marketing by Bob Crisp

My copy is filled with highlights, underlines, notes and almost completely worn out from reading it so many times. Trust me – an amazing read!

3. Mach II With Your Hair on Fire by Richard Brooke

He nails it! This is the one book that hit me right between the eyes and revealed to me exactly why I hadn’t had success in life. Self-motivation and visualization are the key focus points in the book. And, boy, does he make it simple, understandable and exciting. I’ve known people to sit down with this book and not get up until it’s finished. He teaches you how to direct, produce and star in your own movie that is your life! Richard, my friend, thank you so much for writing this book!

4. The Greatest Networker in the World by John Milton Fogg

John Milton Fogg uses a parable here of a guy who’s close to quitting NWM when he meets a MLM leader deemed as the greatest networker in the world.

7. Your First Year in Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell

Your First Year in Network Marketing may be the best book on the mindset of how to become a professional networker. It lets you know what’s coming when you approach people, how to handle it (avoiding the rejection rocket) and how to grow with it. Some of the scripts he gives in the book I don’t necessarily agree with as I feel they’re a bit out-dated, but Mark is an amazing philosopher and his overall attitude training cannot be argued with.

8. Feeding a Giant by Bob Crisp

This is a great follow up to read after #2, Raising a Giant by Bob Crisp.

His specific strategies and advice will definitely make a difference in your mlm career.

9. The Mary Kay Way by Mary Kay Ash

This books provides timeless principles by America’s greatest female entrepreneur. She shares her proven success principles she learned and developed over her 35 year career in network marketing.

13. Big Al Tells All: The Recruiting System by Schreiter

This is another oldie but a goodie. Warning – it is very cartoonish but the principles are as solid as they come. I actually just read this in a mastermind and people were amazed with all of the gems hidden in here. It’s not going to talk about NWM in the 21st century but will cover the types of recruiting strategies you will and will NOT want to use. His examples are often hysterical yet happen every day.

14. How to Be Like Rich DeVos by Pat Williams

DeVos is a great example of how to win the right way. He is the founder of Amway and owner of the NBA’s Orlando Magic and possesses traits rarely found in business leaders today, including leadership, wisdom, putting others before yourself, giving back, patriotism, focusing on family.
