Over the last 30 years I have experienced many highs and lows as an entrepreneur.
Despite the fact that my professional career is now exclusively focused on investing in companies and holding strategic roles, I have a great deal of respect and empathy for anyone that has chosen the entrepreneurial path.
While I’m not making any new investments at the current time (so please don’t approach me for investment), I can recommend a range of resources that can help you at the various stages of the “Start - Scale – Sale” journey.
Brian has been a close friend of mine for 20 years and this is one of the best books on goal setting for individuals and businesses.

You can find links to lots of Dan’s books and podcasts for free here.
One of the best playbooks for scaling a company. Designed for companies with 50+ staff but still has some very useful tools for smaller companies.
A leading venture firms free book on how to scale from 0 to 1,000 people.
I first met Jay in 1999 and he is a good friend and mentor. One of the best strategic and tactical marketing brains alive today.

A very interesting biography which provides a great insight into the world of private equity.
