Startup books are like books about screenwriting: the common wisdom is you learn the most by actually doing it. Reading about it without doing it is like reading about the piano or programming without actually doing it.
Now, once you've started the most useful book or resource has to do with the problem you face. If you have customers but need to raise money, its one kind of advice. If you have a customers but the product isn't working, its another sort of advice.
If you don't have customers, well, that's the hard part.
- mettamage 10y agoThe way you related it to programming gave me a whole new perspective. Books and coaching have a role to play in programming, for example. Most of the time it is to accelerate learning it. Yet, you do need to have some momentum to begin with by having an own project. I never looked at it so clearly with regards to startups.
