Books can be a treasure trove of wisdom and insight on just about any topic you could imagine. So many authors, so many unique minds and experiences, and so many different ways of perceiving similar things. While good novel books are fun books that entertain the reader, books about business are where it’s at when you’re in the midst of growing your brand empire.
Granted, not every business author offers astounding information in their books, but there are many who do, and mining those tomes for gold nuggets you can apply to your own life (and business), is a luxury of the modern age that was much harder to do before the world went digital.
However, we understand not everyone has the ability (or the desire) to read and sift the good from the meh. So, we did some of the legwork for you. Below are three great books recs to add to your TBR list.
Shoot the HiPPO: How to Be a Killer Digital Marketing Manager by Tom Bowden & Tom Jepson
If you’re on the hunt for marketing books, this is one book rec you don’t want to skip. Published in 2020, this book will teach you everything you need to know to ace being a digital marketing manager. The name, Shoot The HiPPO, is actually a reference to the HiPPO in digital marketing; i.e., the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion.
It will teach you how to survive and thrive under the harsh conditions of the fast-paced world of digital marketing, connect the dots, and make sense of the data, so you can make the best decisions possible and ensure you shoot down the HiPPO successfully.
Not only does this book explain the managing aspects of digital marketing, it also deals with the technical side of things.

The goal is to make sure someone who is new to business and entrepreneurship can understand those things and actually be able to implement them. Definitely a tiny but mighty powerhouse of a book for any entrepreneur.
Your Strategy Needs a Strategy by Martin Reeves, Knut Haanæs, Janmejaya Sinha
This is a wonderful book rec for business-focused people who are trying to make it big in their industry. Succeeding in any business venture comes down to one dominating factor; your business strategy.

This book is great because it takes you through the steps you need to follow to assess your business strategy, and gives tips on how you can predict and prepare for potential issues.
