Builder's Delight - SMBs, SaaS IndieDev & Startups
@BuilderDelight
Curating & showcasing the best of work from indie hackers & creators, solopreneurs & SMB owners to hustlers & startup founders.
Company of One by Paul Jarvis How it helped: Paul breaks down the benefits of staying small, rather than going big. Key quote: “There’s nothing wrong with finding the right size and then focusing on being better. Small can be a long-term plan, not just a stepping stone."
The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business by @ElainePofeldt How it helped: Does a great job at breaking $1M businesses into six, digestible parts. This makes it feel more achievable. Key quote: “Uncovering an idea that you will enjoy thinking about every day...is the secret."
The $100 Startup by @chrisguillebeau How it helped: Chris helped me understand that passion was just one part of the equation. Skills and customers matter. Key quote: “I can be very passionate about eating pizza but no one is going to pay me to do it.”
Atomic Habits by @JamesClear How it helped: Gave me systems and frameworks for building strong, repeatable habits. For a systems guy like me, this is critical. Key quote: "Goals are good for setting a direction but systems are best for making progress."
Zero to Sold by @arvidkahl How it helped: I felt like I could see parts of myself in the book, and I don't find that often. Key quote: "They'll be willing to pay if the solution saves them time, saves them money, or makes them money. If it does all 3, it's a guaranteed hit."
It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work by @jasonfried How it helped: While I no longer work in an office or with a team, this book is a great reminder to stay focused & eliminate distractions. Key quote: “Following group chat is like being in an all-day meeting with no agenda.”

Zero to one and hooked. Especially hooked is a good one
Running Lean (3rd edition) by @ashmaurya
You listed 3 great books For me, it's The Minimalist Entrepreneur If I were you, instead of the lean startup, I'd go with MAKE first, and then Zero to Sold 🔥
What is your favorite book about building a (SaaS) business? Also, but not necessarily if your goal is to sell it eventually. I'm thinking about staring with one of those books: - The Lean Startup - Zero to Sold - MAKE: The Indie Maker Handbook
