    Best business books for a solo founder?

    Looking to expand my business knowledge while I’m building my business. Right now I’m running everything solo so I want to make sure I’m prepared for when I do eventually bring more people on board and I think being a more well rounded leader can help. I don’t have a ton of time to read right now but I am dedicated to it because I want to learn. Any ideas on what I should read and how to read faster? For context I’m building SaaS in the digital marketing space and scaling revenue quickly (current 10k mrr).

      You say you lack time to read. You likely drive and walk. Listen to audio books.

      One good one “22 Immutable Laws of Marketing”

      If you are solo in saas, read books that reduce mistakes not just inspire you. lean startup for validation, e myth for systems, and hormozi for monetization. everything else is optional until you hit scale.

      The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Atomic Habits, The Personal MBA, and How to Talk to Anyone are a few places to start. I’d recommend reading them entirely but if you just want the gist to get going asap just use one of those ai summary apps.

      for solo founders specifically: The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick is the most useful thing i’ve read. it’s short and it changes how you talk to customers forever. Zero to One for the mindset side. and honestly at early stage i’d spend less time reading and more time writing things down, your own lessons from what’s working and what isn’t. the compounding from your own observations beats most business books once you’re in the game.
