Now that Kansas City has truly begun to experience fall weather—with temperatures below 60 degrees, the need to rake leaves from the yard, and the necessity of turning on heated seats in the car—it is also time to start enjoying downtime indoors. Kansas City entrepreneurs, this does not mean frantically checking your emails, clicking through the TV for the latest news, or spending hours on Facebook.
Why not spend this fall catching up on the latest business books? In honor of Book Lover’s Day, which falls on the first Saturday of every November, I have narrowed down some of the bestselling business books that will not only help to inspire entrepreneurs, but also give expert advice from the mouths of seasoned entrepreneurs who truly have “been there, done that.”
