Good Books I'm Reading 📚
- Oversubscribed: guys, if you are trying to build a business, this book is amazing. It explains how to create high demand for products or services and not end up being commoditized, mastering the balance between demand and scarce offer, and building a campaign-driven company. Plus, some basic guidelines on how to start and scale a business. I'm not an affiliate, just found a lot of value in it!!
- Aquí no Hay Reglas, about Netflix’s culture that gives high freedom to employees, like unlimited vacations, unlimited travel budget, and similar. An excellent and inspirational read on how to conduct an extremely innovative company.
