Hello there,
I’m 34, from Europe. I’ve been a freelancer for 10+ years and recently I jumped from a “one man business” to manage a small company. The company is growing, in less than 2 years we went from 2 to 6 people and we are looking for more. I’m looking for books or courses (better if online) to learn how to manage a company, how to manage people, how to manage bigger projects, how to manage money.
We do Software, our clients are Artists, e-commerces, restaurant chains and pharmaceutical industries. I’d like to write even less code and focus on the growth, and I would like to do it in a less amateurish way. What would you recommend?
Ray Dalios book prinicples is a good place for you to start I would also get into if the numbers (financials) of the business. Basically being professional is about being dependable, reliable and delivering what you say you’ll deliver on time, to spec, without drama. Charge fairly and behave with integrity.
In terms of management lots of the Wharton stuff on coursera will help you there and the google project manager course is also very good
Thanks :)
I’ve found the “Ray Dalios book prinicples”

Do you mean this as the Google Project manager?
