   Running Lean, by Ash Maurya. It’s a great blueprint on how to start.

   I don't have specific feedback for you, but if you want to improve your value proposition and your messaging, I can recommend some books in the O'Reilly "Lean" series, specifically Ash Maurya's "Running Lean" and Cindy Alvarez's "Lean Customer Development".

   Author here - Sorry about that. Since I haven't been much of a success, I didn't think people would be interested in my recommendations. But here are a few that I found really helpful:

   Indie Hacker Podcast (the forum on the site was also a great resource for me): https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast

   How I Built This Podcast: https://www.npr.org/series/490248027/how-i-built-this

   Stacking the Bricks: https://stackingthebricks.com/

   Books: The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris, The E-myth by Michael Gerber, Running Lean by Ash Maurya

   As the other posted said, any resources provided by MicroConf are also great. Basically look up their videos on YouTube and follow all of their speakers on Twitter or subscribe to their newsletters.

   1. The Millionaire Next Door - I read this as a kid and took away the importance of owning your own business and living below your means.

   2. The Good Earth - Another book that I read as a kid that I think about often…specifically about the choices the family makes as their fortune rises and falls.

   3. Running Lean: Iterate from Plan A to a Plan That Works - I like the 1 page canvas for capturing assumptions and the product & solution interviews.

   More recently, I read Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. I wonder if the central message of this book (“you can’t do it all & how to embrace that”) will stick with me.
