I wanted to provide a quick overview of some resources that can help anyone start from zero and start to develop their idea. This article will be divided into two posts. The first will concentrate on books and materials, and the follow up article will cover the next steps, highlighting some things you can do to start the process.
Books
Getting Things Doneby David Allen.
Let's face it. Most small business owners who are just starting out do not have the resources of unlimited time and money. (If they did, they would be on the beach!) Most businesses starting out are run on the side, usually while the owner is juggling a full or part time job, a family, and numerous other commitments. Getting Things Done will help you manage the workflow in a manageable way. A word of warning: GTD (as it's very fervent community refers to it) is not for everyone. It will seem over the top. It is impossible to walk away from it though, without changing some of your practices.
The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber.
Many of the business books that are very popular are really good, but not many deal with the new reality that is the online environment. The E-Myth Revisited digs into the new online culture and what it means to business.
Good to Great by Jim Collins
This book is a classic. Collins drills down into companies who are doing it right. Small businesses will not have the resources that many of the subjects in the book do, but any company can be helped by studying their best practices.
Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary defines following your passion and doing everything with openness and transparency.
