Ask HN: What are some books for first-time entrepreneurs?
- techstrategist 8y agoI wish I had found The E-Myth Revisited before I started my first business, and I'll re-read it more carefully before trying again. It really breaks down the difference between the roles needed: the technician doing the work, the visionary entrepreneur, and the pragmatic manager.
- llampx 8y agoThank you for the recommendation. This looks like a good book.
- throwaway8891 8y agoThe Startup Owner's Manual: The Step-By-Step Guide for Building a Great Company
- akulbe 8y agoI recommend these books, in this order: Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill (this is timeless!! MUST READ) The Personal MBA - Josh Kaufman (this will give you a well-rounded education on business, if I had this before college I wouldn't have been a Business Management major!!) The First 20 Hours - Josh Kaufman (rapid skill acquisition) The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss (how to break down complex stuff into the most essential parts, and win) Tools of Titans - Tim Ferriss (stand on the shoulders of giants and see how other prominent folks are successful)
- llampx 8y agoThanks for the recommendations! I'd already read Think and Grow Rich and The 4-Hour Workweek, the others are new to me.
