Founder’s Reading Starter Kit — 5 Books That Rewire How You Build
🧠 Founder’s Reading Starter Kit
5 Startup Books That Could Save You Months of Pain — If You Actually Read Them
Price: Pay What You Want (Free to start)
When I started my first venture, I wasted weeks chasing the wrong advice. Most founders never realize the advice they’re following is actively slowing them down. I learned the hard way.
Then I found 5 books that completely changed how I build. I read them cover-to-cover, distilled every page, and turned it into a Notion system you can steal—so you skip the guesswork and start building with an edge.
I didn’t just list books—I condensed the exact lessons that separate the founders who fail from the ones who actually ship.
