Answer

@danielshinall Those are all great books. I read "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing". It's the first book that made me understand what marketing is and what's it's not.

Daniel Shinall · Answer

1 - My go-to suggestion is still The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.
- Some things in his updated version are getting to be a little dated, but it's an inspiring book, a fun read, and helpful (especially if your a new, aspiring entrepreneur).

2 - The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, by Al Ries and Jack Trout.
- This was actually a Tim Ferriss recommendation that I picked up many years ago and I'm about to re-read it for the 3rd or 4th time as I prepare for my upcoming launch. Written in '93, but this book is still gold! Quick read too 😎

3 - Profit First by Mike Michalowicz.
- Mike has some unique methods to help ensure your business is profitable. Of course not everyone agrees with his methods, but I think this is worth reading as he thinks outside the box. Also a fun and inspiring read.

Wendy Olson · Answer

don't even get me started on "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" - it's like the no BS guide to the trials of entrepreneurship, offering really practical advice that every business owner can benefit from.

Joshua de la Llana · Answer

The Hard Thing About Hard Things - Opened my eyes to the realities of entrepreneurship behind the glamour.
Work Rules - Gave me a goal of the kind of team I want to build and the kind of impact I want to create for people working with me.
Fix This Next - This book single-handedly got us through turning around our company from a dying to a profitable entity. It's provides a clear process of what needs fixing depending on what stage you are in terms of business and product

Seriously, "The Lean Startup" is a game changer, it introduces a new approach to business that's fast and efficient, perfect for today's fast-paced world.

Answer

"The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries: This book introduces the concept of lean manufacturing to the startup culture. It suggests that startups can be more successful by efficiently using their resources and focusing on innovation. This book helps entrepreneurs to understand how they can test their vision continuously and adapt and adjust before it's too late.

"Zero to One" by Peter Thiel: Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, shares his philosophy on innovation and how to build a successful startup. The central premise is that true innovation goes from "zero to one," not from one to n. It's about creating something entirely new, not simply improving what already exists.

"Start with Why" by Simon Sinek: In this book, Sinek proposes that the fundamental question every entrepreneur should ask is not what or how, but why. Why does your organization exist? Why does it matter? The book emphasizes the importance of inspiration and purpose in any venture.
