TL;DR

Ever wondered what makes a bestselling business book best-selling? Well, now you don’t.

  • I compiled a list of the top 25 bestselling business books.

  • Ran analysis on what common principles contributed to their success.

  • Distilled a list of 30 trends into a set of 11 “cheats.”

  • See below for your free copy.

I’mma keep this short because it’s been a somewhat wild week with too little sleep. And why?

So that I can provide you with a new resource. (And selfishly so I could learn all this for myself.)

I researched the top bestselling business books of all time (i.e., the last 100 years) by cross-checking several sources. Then ran an analysis to figure out what core attributes the books had that other nonfiction business authors could learn from.

There were 30 total, but since some of them were more-or-less related, I distilled the list down to 11 key findings—especially the ones that almost any aspiring author can copy.

So here it is… The Bestsellers Cheat Sheet.
