New to this platform and new to trying to build a business while full time working. Advice, mentorship, and connections that help me grow are all welcome.

I have recently realized that focus is a main key to success. Any thoughts to further this or to dispute this?

Be your own harshest critic, fail fast, iterate, and never stop. Keep taking time to look at yourself from a high level perspective. Your time is limited and valuable. When you're in the weeds it's easy to think you're making progress, when you're just spinning your wheels - especially when you're balancing work and squeezing in your startup around that.

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.
