@uma_venugopal 1-3 are AWESOME additions to my list πŸš€ Things from 1. and 2. I use every single day, and the Grit is also a must-read πŸ˜„ Never read the 4. and 5. but I'll probably give them a try. Thanks for the recommendations! 😊

@omwow "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" comes so often as a suggestion, don't know how I still haven't read it πŸ˜… Lean Startup is a masterpiece, Eric Ries had a product launch recently. Go and say hi! πŸ˜„ https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@kwaku_amprako yeah #1 and #3 are awesome books. I use things from #3 almost every single day πŸ˜„ Never read 12 months to $1M, but putting it on the list πŸ˜„
Thanks for sharing these Ivan, I have added them to my read list. I would recommend Lean Customer Development: Building Products Your Customers Will Buy - By Cindy Alvarez

@jaka_koprivec great recommendation Jaka! I've never read it before, but I actually already have it on my reading list, so, upping the priority I guess πŸ˜… By the way, Eric Ries, the author of Lean Startup actually launched the product on Product Hunt pretty recently: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
@ralic Haha I really recommend it, you will go through it in no time. Interesting! Will check the product out πŸ˜„

I would say The Lean Startup, Zero to One, and HOOKED (by Nir Eyal) changed my mind, but it's more like it FREED my mind. As someone coming from a software developer background it's really hard not to get caught up in the little details all the time

@manjur_ahmed1 yeah exactly, Zero to One especially gives you that visionary mindset to really build something big πŸ˜„ I really need to read Hooked it was recommended by so many people already πŸ˜„
