Join any of the following course of Entrepreneurship courses from any one of the reputed University, so that you have all important books as well as the a good degree or master degree. So, review it careful and enjoy then.
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Entrepreneurship program is designed to prepare future entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge to start their own businesses. The program will focus on identifying, analyzing and evaluating global and local business opportunities; creating new independent business ventures or new ventures within existing firms; developing creativity and understanding innovation; ethical and social responsibilities for entrepreneurs; environment assessment for new ventures; marketing research; financial planning; developing effective business plans to obtain financing; sources of capital; legal issues related to starting and operating a business; valuation; family owned businesses; succession; and opportunities for women and minority entrepreneurs.
The MBA in entrepreneurship has always been the subject of much debate – is it necessary for would-be entrepreneurs to build up a suite of skills at business school, or is it a waste of time and money that would be better spent actually launching and running a business?
For some, the degree will be a huge help in building a professional network, seeking venture capital, and building a successful startup. It also affords you a rare chance to fail in a safe environment, whereas a failed venture outside of a business school environment can be devastating.
The Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship certificate courses provides students with an understanding of small business planning, financial management, and integrated business topics on entrepreneurship and small business management. Upon completion of this program students will be able to examine small business marketing opportunities, identify innovative small business strategies, evaluate financial management decisions, and address the challenges and opportunities specific to small business management and entrepreneurship.
The Small Business Management & Entrepreneurship Certificate (Undergraduate) requires a minimum of credits, which may come from a combination of required and elective courses.
Bob Fifer - "How duplicate your profit"
Eric G. Flamholtz and Yvonne Randle - "Growing Pains"
Edward Hess - "Grow to greatness"
Benjamin Graham - "The intelligent investor"
Chris Zook and James Alle - Repeatability: Build enduring business for a world of constant changes"7
Noam Wasserman - " The Founder´s dilemma"
Peter Thie - "Zero to one: notes on startups, or how to build your future"
...several examples more.
But beside books I would suggest that would be better you make some good trainings, workshops, mini-course, etc, to improve your skills in different areas. Mainly in financial management, marketing, strategic management. And of course, potentiate your attitude for partnerships.
