Ask HN: What books helped you in your entrepreneurship journey?

While I briefly ran a 'start up' with a friend (we weren't what most people here would consider a start up), we used the book 'Business Model Generation' almost weekly as we adjusted our business and pitched for new work.

I still go back to that when kicking off a new project.

- Awareness by Anthony DeMello

- The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi

- The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand

- Only the Paranoid Survive by Andy Grove

Atlas shrugged, Minto Pyramid Principle, Nail it then Scale it

I've read a tall stack of business books, and in all honesty, I think only one of them was of any real value to me. It also has the benefits of being short and an easy read.

"The Incredible Secret Money Machine II" by Don Lancaster

“The Mom Test” by Rob Fitzpatrick - How to talk to customers & learn if your business is a good idea when everyone is lying to you.
