People in business constantly want to work better and do more in reduced time. We do not get extra time for this, unless we are sent on a course. Still, surveys illustrate that most our learning are disused. Salaried people do not have the leisure to reschedule their everyday routines when they get back to assimilate their new ideas.

The answer to this scenario is business audio books, which are on every imaginable subject and can be listened to while traveling, on your computer, or when working. You can surely see the unbelievable value of business audio books compared to expensive courses. However, the real value of these is in the ‘pep’ talk you give yourself every single day. The primary reason I am ill intended to training courses is, that I can not readjust my work program immediately to use my fresh ideas. But, this does not happen with audio books.

If you are unsure about which specific business audio books to buy, here are 5 best ones that any business person would want:

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People - by Dale Carnegie. 

This classic ensures you keep people and relationships, at the head of your enterprise as they are the most important factors. It simply guides you to communicate with people and build important relationships.

2. Winning – by Jack Welch and Suzy Welch.  This 11 hour narration by Jack is easy to listen. It is full of anecdotes and useful advice for business people from an actual winner.

3. The On-time On-target Manager – by Ken Blanchard.  Although ‘The One Minute Manager’ is a modern Bible, this alternative confronts the major problem of modern business, procrastination.
