      Highly recommend Micro Conf videos. Adam Wathan & Jason Cohen are some great ones to start with.

      Rob's (above poster) podcasts are often very good as well.

      Disciplined Entrepreneurship books by Bill Aulet & his online courses (on either EdX or Coursera) are great.

      Tons of other great amazing info, but incorporating your first business & talking to potential customers is an absolute must first step. Don't become another person who just reads about businesses for fun & dreams. You need to spend most of your time testing out ideas on people & trying to build your business. Books & videos are great for relaxing & edu-entertainment.

      Disciplined Entrepreneurship by Bill Aulet.

      He’s actually had a couple of exits which can’t be said for most authors in the space.

      For anyone else who, like me, is prone to the excitement of new company ideas and has a tendency to gloss over questions like "is it even possible to monetize this?" I'd recommend reading Disciplined Entrepreneurship. It's not the One True Way but the steps they recommend cover a lot of questions that you should think about during the process.

      Give this a read. Literally a step by step to get a successful company off the ground.

      Since no one mentioned it so far I’m happy to recommend “Disciplined Entrepreneurship”, which I found more useful than Eric Ries’ book and very actionable. And above all, it really is a step by step guide:
