Founder of a bootstrapped 17 year-old SaaS company here.
I've read countless books on this topic.
The book that helped me the most was "Good to Great" by Jim Collins.
It has memorable nuggets of advice, summarised neatly into insightful chapters.
Once you learn these nuggets you never forget them, and you end up leveraging them regularly in your day-to-day entrepreneurial decisions.
It's a bit like Covey's 7 Habits book, but geared for entrepreneurs wanting to grow a successful business.
Good luck on your journey. It's tough, but worth it.
