Like many others here, I don't have one, single book that I could recommend. In fact, although I totally agree that reading is important, with the wealth of advice available on the internet nowadays, I don't think reading books about business strategy is very important to success. Everything you need to know about sales, marketing, blogging, creating websites, etc, can be found in a few minutes with a carefully worded search.
The books I have read that have made a difference to how I approach business have been the autobiographies of successful business people. Reading a book by one of my entrepreneurial heroes that gives me a window into their life, their journey, and the sacrifices they made to get where they are today, leaves me feeling inspired, motivated and full of new and creative ideas.
So, my recommendation is to think of a well-known business person who you admire, and look for their autobiography. You will learn more about what successful people really do than by reading any number of business manuals.
