One of the things successful people attribute to their success is their reading habits. CEOs, Fintech founders, CFOs, and other highly accomplished individuals acquire knowledge and business know-how from the books they consume. Despite their busy schedule, the average CE0 reads 60 books each year. Therefore, an investor must make out time daily to extract the nuggets of wisdom and knowledge that books contain. We will be looking at 10 of our favorite finance books written by Nigerian authors.
Over the years, many figures have risen and fallen in the churning sea of business and finance. Although it can be difficult to narrow down the exact formula that makes one successful in finance, certain principles have stood the test of time. The law of supply and demand, sowing and harvesting, are just examples of principles that govern the business sphere.
The principle on display today is the value of investing in knowledge. As Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
If you intend to join the ranks of successful entrepreneurs, then you must develop the habit of reading books on money and finance.
