 Shoe Dog (Nike) is supposed to be good. 

 Just finished it! It’s bloody amazing. 

 The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. Sahil founded Gumroad.

Promise you it’s going to blow your head on fire. It’s all so relatable and immediately actionable, it’s crazy.

Highly recommend. 

 It’s not directly a business book but it helped me more with my business than anything else I’ve read: Atomic Habits. 

My biggest take away is that winners and losers both have the same goal.  results = identity plus habits. Habits can be hacked and help us to change the way we identify ourselves. 

 Not recently but Guerilla Marketing. 

 Where are you getting stuck? I have different recommendations for general entrepreneurship, marketing/sales, business operations, team/people management etc.

A few books that immediately come to mind:

Navalmanack - @naval
ReWork - Jason Fried and DHH
The Advantage - Patrick Lencioni 

 Thank you!!

 For systems, check out Traction by Gino Wickman. Really helped me.

 Never split the difference - Chris Voss

This is a book on how to negotiate 

 I don't read. 😂 But my problem solving technique is to hone in on specifics. 
What do you want to accomplish with your business? When you answer that write the steps you need to do to achieve that.
If finances are your struggle look up useful spreadsheets. Figure out projections and put together PNL and what not or get an accountant. If its marketing, how do you get yourself in front of more eyeballs? Etc.
But if you have really want to read something I'm told read economic books not business books- Human Action or Anatomy of the State.
