1
00:00:00,720 –> 00:00:04,079
Hi, I’m Tomek.
From Waiter To Millionaire.

2
00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:06,260
Welcome to another video.

3
00:00:06,280 –> 00:00:10,185
Today I’m gonna present you
10 motivational books

4
00:00:10,186 –> 00:00:15,414
about business and success,
which had a great influence on me.

5
00:00:15,415 –> 00:00:19,380
These are the best ones
that I want to recommend to you.

6
00:00:19,400 –> 00:00:22,042
You should read these books,

7
00:00:22,043 –> 00:00:27,628
if you think about changing your life,
earning more money,

8
00:00:27,629 –> 00:00:29,699
starting your own business.

9
00:00:29,700 –> 00:00:34,260
If you need motivation and inspiration,
these books are for you.

10
00:00:34,280 –> 00:00:36,900
They are very diverse.

11
00:00:36,920 –> 00:00:40,620
Some of them are about
great businessmen,

12
00:00:40,640 –> 00:00:44,780
the best in their field
and you should learn from them.

13
00:00:44,800 –> 00:00:52,159
The other books will motivate you
and help you to change your life.

14
00:00:52,160 –> 00:00:54,599
Without further ado, let’s start.

15
00:00:54,600 –> 00:01:00,159
But I’ll tell you one more thing –
all motivational books,

16
00:01:00,160 –> 00:01:05,050
inspiring autobiographies,
books on success,

17
00:01:05,080 –> 00:01:09,200
YouTube videos
and all these kinds of information

18
00:01:09,201 –> 00:01:14,085
you should treat as a starting point,
because the most important thing

19
00:01:14,086 –> 00:01:15,414
is to act.

20
00:01:15,415 –> 00:01:20,428
Books should motivate you
and change your way of thinking,

21
00:01:20,429 –> 00:01:24,985
so try to read them almost everyday,
but don’t forget

22
00:01:24,986 –> 00:01:28,286
that in order to
change anything in your life

23
00:01:28,287 –> 00:01:29,857
you must act.

24
00:01:29,858 –> 00:01:33,343
That’s it for the introduction.

25
00:01:33,344 –> 00:01:37,286
Let’s start describing
the best motivational books.

26
00:01:37,287 –> 00:01:42,157
The first is a classic one,
well-known and often mentioned.

27
00:01:42,158 –> 00:01:44,557
“The Millionaire Fastlane”.

28
00:01:44,558 –> 00:01:48,086
It is a great and easy book to read.

29
00:01:48,087 –> 00:01:52,014
Even though you’ll be able to
finish it very quickly,

30
00:01:52,015 –> 00:01:56,671
don’t rush and take time
to absorb valuable information.

31
00:01:56,672 –> 00:02:02,886
It describes a great path
of its author, M. J. DeMarco,

32
00:02:02,887 –> 00:02:07,043
who earned lots of money
from his online business.

33
00:02:07,044 –> 00:02:10,457
In short, this book praises
online business

34
00:02:10,458 –> 00:02:13,443
as the one
which can be quickly scaled.

35
00:02:13,444 –> 00:02:16,686
In this way you can
quickly achieve success.

36
00:02:16,687 –> 00:02:23,014
Let’s move on. The second book.
I reviewed it in my other video.

37
00:02:23,040 –> 00:02:24,629
Check that one out.

38
00:02:24,657 –> 00:02:27,980
It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
“Total Recall”.

39
00:02:28,000 –> 00:02:31,513
Incredible and very motivating
success story.

40
00:02:31,514 –> 00:02:35,157
If you think
that your dreams are unattainable,

41
00:02:35,158 –> 00:02:39,885
read this book and you’ll see
that they are nothing

42
00:02:39,886 –> 00:02:43,060
compared to the ones
that Arnold has achieved.

43
00:02:43,080 –> 00:02:45,340
I highly recommended it.

44
00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:48,614
Next book, a very different one.

45
00:02:48,615 –> 00:02:51,714
“Full POWER of life”
by Jacek Walkiewicz.

46
00:02:51,715 –> 00:02:56,957
Brilliant book. If you look for uplift,
you go through tough times,

47
00:02:56,958 –> 00:03:01,460
you’re on the brink of adulthood
or you want a change in life,

48
00:03:01,486 –> 00:03:03,757
Walkiewicz’s book is brilliant,

49
00:03:03,758 –> 00:03:07,713
because it shows how to
live your life to the fullest,

50
00:03:07,714 –> 00:03:10,956
seek inspirations, achieve goals

51
00:03:10,957 –> 00:03:14,020
and be a good fighter.

52
00:03:14,040 –> 00:03:18,229
One of my favorite books.
I totally recommend it.

53
00:03:18,230 –> 00:03:22,900
Jacek can motivate and comfort you
at the same time.

54
00:03:22,920 –> 00:03:25,660
A brilliant read.

55
00:03:25,680 –> 00:03:28,642
Another book by a successful man.

56
00:03:28,643 –> 00:03:32,271
“Shoe Dog:
A Memoir by the Creator of Nike”

57
00:03:32,272 –> 00:03:34,420
by Phil Knight.

58
00:03:34,443 –> 00:03:38,199
This book is also excellently written.

59
00:03:38,200 –> 00:03:41,260
It is very easy to read.

60
00:03:41,280 –> 00:03:44,313
The story begins in the 1960s,

61
00:03:44,314 –> 00:03:47,940
when the US citizen
gradually starts his business.

62
00:03:47,960 –> 00:03:51,686
He runs it in the basement,
imports shoes from Japan

63
00:03:51,687 –> 00:03:53,871
and creates a powerhouse.

64
00:03:53,872 –> 00:03:56,214
Great company and great book.

65
00:03:56,215 –> 00:04:01,129
I’m gonna buy Nike shoes,
as now I feel like I know the owner.

66
00:04:01,130 –> 00:04:04,900
Let’s move on.
Now something from Poland.

67
00:04:04,920 –> 00:04:08,519
“Just Do Business”
by Mr. Leszek Czarnecki.

68
00:04:08,520 –> 00:04:13,299
It’s a brilliant book on running business,
esp. on Polish market.

69
00:04:13,300 –> 00:04:16,242
It’s a truly amazing read.

70
00:04:16,243 –> 00:04:21,719
Mr. Leszek describes how he started
his journey at the end of the 1980s

71
00:04:21,720 –> 00:04:26,071
and how he was able to
create something incredible.

72
00:04:26,072 –> 00:04:28,020
He’s started many companies.

73
00:04:28,040 –> 00:04:30,971
Cool man. Great book.
Also easy to read.

74
00:04:30,972 –> 00:04:33,340
I highly recommend it.

75
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:34,943
Moving on.

76
00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:39,043
Now something completely different.

77
00:04:39,044 –> 00:04:43,220
“Man’s Search for Meaning”
by Mr. Viktor Frankl.

78
00:04:43,240 –> 00:04:44,843
He was a psychiatrist

79
00:04:44,844 –> 00:04:48,340
who lived during the war
and concentration camps.

80
00:04:48,360 –> 00:04:52,356
He describes how human brain
works when it comes to

81
00:04:52,357 –> 00:04:55,980
motivation, meaning of life
and will of life,

82
00:04:56,000 –> 00:04:59,828
basing on concentration camps
and hard times.

83
00:04:59,829 –> 00:05:04,359
He shows how people fight for
their life or give up on it.

84
00:05:04,360 –> 00:05:07,657
It’s a book for those
who seek meaning of life

85
00:05:07,658 –> 00:05:10,580
and want to be motivated and uplifted.

86
00:05:10,600 –> 00:05:15,580
A brilliant, excellently written book.
And also thin.

87
00:05:15,600 –> 00:05:17,540
I very highly recommend it.

88
00:05:17,560 –> 00:05:19,740
Now, an all-time classic.

89
00:05:19,760 –> 00:05:22,780
“The Power of Positive Thinking”

90
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:25,243
by Mr. Norman Peale.

91
00:05:25,244 –> 00:05:27,420
Not sure how to pronounce it.

92
00:05:27,440 –> 00:05:32,100
Great book. I’ve recently read it
for the second time.

93
00:05:33,129 –> 00:05:37,879
A classic of its genre.
I highly encourage you to read it.

94
00:05:37,880 –> 00:05:41,557
Although it seems
a little dated at times.

95
00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:45,940
Mr. Richard Branson
needs no introduction.

96
00:05:45,960 –> 00:05:49,980
He’s started a lot of companies.

97
00:05:50,000 –> 00:05:53,300
A very successful man.

98
00:05:53,320 –> 00:05:55,759
His story is very cool.

99
00:05:55,760 –> 00:06:01,099
His youth occured during the 1970s.

100
00:06:01,100 –> 00:06:05,086
Maybe even earlier.
Sorry, I don’t remember.

101
00:06:05,086 –> 00:06:11,242
But he describes his life in England,
when he started Virgin Records.

102
00:06:11,243 –> 00:06:15,370
He contracted famous bands,
then sold the company

103
00:06:15,371 –> 00:06:18,060
and started Virgin airways.

104
00:06:18,080 –> 00:06:22,099
You may also know about Virgin Mobile.

105
00:06:22,100 –> 00:06:27,879
He was a man of big businesses
and vast scope of thinking.

106
00:06:27,880 –> 00:06:33,970
It’s also a very cool story
of a very cool man who achieved a lot.

107
00:06:33,971 –> 00:06:36,457
The story is very nicely told.

108
00:06:36,458 –> 00:06:40,742
It shows how an average,
hard-working and happy man

109
00:06:40,743 –> 00:06:43,380
achieves great successes.

110
00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:46,357
I also very highly recommend it.

111
00:06:48,320 –> 00:06:52,500
Here we have
“Awaken The Giant Within”

112
00:06:52,520 –> 00:06:57,771
written by Mr. Anthony Robbins.

113
00:06:57,772 –> 00:07:01,460
Probably the thickest book I’ve ever seen.

114
00:07:01,480 –> 00:07:07,320
It will work well, if you need to
add weight into your backpack.

115
00:07:07,320 –> 00:07:12,299
It is an incredibly motivating book,
showing that

116
00:07:12,300 –> 00:07:15,380
you are able to achieve everything.

117
00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:20,070
I recommend this man.
He’s a very well-know figure abroad.

118
00:07:20,071 –> 00:07:23,460
He’s an incredible source of inspiration.

119
00:07:23,486 –> 00:07:26,143
The last book…
A bit jokingly.

120
00:07:26,144 –> 00:07:32,371
The previous ones were about great,
inspiring, motivating people

121
00:07:32,372 –> 00:07:35,399
who’ve developed great businesses.

122
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:41,740
But to conclude,
I would like to warn you against

123
00:07:41,760 –> 00:07:45,660
excessive motivation,
so you can remember

124
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:51,557
that all of your achievements
mainly depend not on reading books

125
00:07:51,558 –> 00:07:55,740
and motivation, but on your own work.

126
00:07:55,760 –> 00:08:00,586
Because many people
want to sell you some bullshit,

127
00:08:00,587 –> 00:08:05,580
claiming that you can do anything,
but not showing you how.

128
00:08:05,600 –> 00:08:08,500
Robert Kiyosaki writes great books.

129
00:08:08,501 –> 00:08:13,128
This is “Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant”,
but I won’t talk on it.

130
00:08:13,129 –> 00:08:17,786
Another very famous one is
“Rich Dad Poor Dad”,

131
00:08:17,787 –> 00:08:22,200
in which Mr. Kiyosaki shows
the basics of investing

132
00:08:22,201 –> 00:08:27,471
and talks about financial independence,
while motivating readers.

133
00:08:27,472 –> 00:08:33,429
The problem is that he reportedly
earned millions on talking about millions.

134
00:08:33,430 –> 00:08:39,000
I don’t think he’s the only one,
but he’s an interesting example

135
00:08:39,001 –> 00:08:44,380
of a man who was accused of earning
millions on talking about millions.

136
00:08:44,400 –> 00:08:47,940
However, I recommend “Rich Dad Poor Dad”.

137
00:08:47,960 –> 00:08:54,629
Just be careful and don’t be fooled,
because these books really…

138
00:08:54,630 –> 00:08:59,371
Remember that you should act,
not just read about it.

139
00:08:59,371 –> 00:09:04,886
Success, joy and getting out
of your comfort zones

140
00:09:04,887 –> 00:09:08,986
stem from your own actions.

141
00:09:08,987 –> 00:09:13,299
Don’t be afraid to act.
Get inspiration from these books.

142
00:09:13,300 –> 00:09:17,700
Maybe some day I will present
the rest of my books.

143
00:09:17,720 –> 00:09:22,686
