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

Traction by Weinberg. Understanding the distribution of your product, how to think about it and how much resources to devote to it was a missing piece for me as a technical founder. I easily fall into the fallacy of "build it and they will come" even when I don't think I do.

The E-Myth - creating systems and processes

The Personal MBA - crash course MBA

Founders At Work - understanding how different startups survived

Buy Back Your Time - management and delegation

The Charisma Myth - to help w/ charm for sales

SPIN Selling - this + The Charisma Myth more than doubled our sales conversion rate

These books were the most crucial for me

The Four Steps to the Epiphany - Steve Blank

The Discipline of Market Leaders - Fred Wiersema and Michael Treacy

It's Not the Big that Eat the Small...It's the Fast that Eat the Slow - Jason Jennings

Mastering The Complex Sale - Jeff Thull

How To Measure Anything - Douglas Hubbard

Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection by Jia Jiang

Highly enjoyable read! This book really captures the entrepreneurial experience of interviewing for insights while focusing on the fear of rejection, which is a major problem that isn't typically found in most other books on entrepreneurship.
