“Never split the difference” by Chris Voss

If I had to start over, I’d begin with Overdeliver by Brian Kurtz and No B.S. Direct Marketing by Dan Kennedy.
Overdeliver is especially seminal — it’s the first and last book you’ll need, whether you’re getting your toe in the water or preparing to scale.

My favorite has to be **’Start with Why’ by Simon Sinek**. It really shifted the way I think about entrepreneurship. Sinek’s idea is that people don’t just buy **what** you do, they buy **why** you do it.

If you’re building SaaS definitely product lead growth. If your SaaS will have network effects read the cold start problem. Founders Dilemmas if you’re building with cofounders and of course the lean start up. Traction is also very good but better once you’ve established yourself and your company

I’m enjoying Buy Then Build
But I realized very quickly it doesn’t help me a lot since I was looking at buying companies with no current revenue (or extremely little) lol. Which the author does not even entertain.

“Shoe Dog” is a classic.
Really good when you need some motivation.
More practical – “Rework”.

I think “Zero to One” by “Peter Thiel with Blake Masters” gives a different perspective for entrepreneurs.

Good to great is one of the besties, and thinking fast and slow, its about the psychology of decision-making.

I’d recommend ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins. It really dives deep into what makes companies excel and sustain success. I’ve taken some key insights from it that have helped shape my business strategy. Curious to hear what others have found impactful!

Books from MJ de marco, I started late with “the millionaire fastlane” because I found the name cringe (or that is was yet another financial guru book) but oh boy how valuable it is
