Rework by Fried, Jason, Heinemeier Hansson. It's a classic book for a small startup like us. Recession is looming and I am preparing for serious one.

You should read Selling to the Affluent, by Thomas Stanley, author of The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy. I have been learning from this book. You should be a giver, understand customers' needs

He means no shortcuts for master anything. It takes time, 2000 or 3000 hours or any numbers. People tends to find a shortcut for anything, fox example, buying crypto to get rich quick. I agree that 10000 hours rule is a myth.

he's a genious. I live in Viet Nam and the unemployment benefit is not good so I'm cautious to switch career. That's why i founded a company and be a founder and CEO as a part time job.
