If you ever want to start you own business, these are 4 books that you should definitely read, which will give you an unfair advantage. 1 - No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings who is the founder and CEO of Netflix. Netflix does not have a leave policy. The way they kind of hire people and promote people is fundamentally from any other organization. So how Reed Hastings thought about this and how he went on building this organization from scratch, is something that I think people should understand. And thatโs why this book is very very useful. 2 - The Hard Things About The Hard Things by Ben Horowitz, one of the epic books when it comes to understanding founder mentality or understanding how a founder needs to function. 3 - Start With The Why by Simon Sinek. And what he says is that purpose drives organizations. So unless and until you know the why, you will not be able to work on the right things when youโre building a business from scratch. 4 - Venture Deals by by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson. It speaks about how VC funding works, itโs a great read for you if you are somebody who is trying to start a startup or is trying to pitch to VCs. And to unlock more solid information related to business, startups and growth overall, subscribing to my newsletter through the link in the comment.
