"The 5 Books That Helped Build and Sell a Bootstrapped SaaS in Under Two Years" by @arvidkahl summery

A thread

1. The 4-Hour Workweek

A book about escaping 9-5, living anywhere, and joining the new rich.

Arvid calls it a "transition manual".

After reading the book he had a new perspective on what was possible.

2. Built to Sell

This book inspired Arvid to sell his SaaS. It's about creating a valuable, sellable company.

To create a company that's sellable, you need it to be able to run without you.

3. Hooked

This book is about creating habit-forming products. Products that form habits turn out to be incredibly sticky.

If you succeed, your product will generate long-term revenue.

4. The E-Myth Revisited

The myth here is that you can build a technical business just because you have technical skill.

The book teaches you to create a well-structured business.

5. The Mom Test

The core point is: don’t ask friends and family about your product.

Don't ask your mom because she will try to protect you from both success and failure.
