Podcast
Here's the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

Bootstrapping a SaaS to $10K MRR While Working Full-Time
This is a story about a guy called Luke who had an idea for a SaaS product. But it took him 3 years to start building a product. He launched in January 2016 and it took him 3 months to land his first customer who paid him $45 a month.

He kept working on the product and trying anything he could think of to find customers. Some things worked, and other things failed miserably. But he kept at it and spent most evenings and weekends on his 'side-project'.

In 3 years, he went from zero to $10K monthly recurring revenue (MRR) while working a full-time job....

Quote of the Week
Here's the quote of the week -- it's about having a bias for action:

"Have a bias toward action – let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away."
-- Indirha Gandhi

Book of the Week
This weeks' recommendation comes from my guest (Luke Thomas). The book is called "Scientific Advertising" by Claude C Hopkins. Here's what Luke said about it:

"It's a wonderful marketing book that was written in the early 1900s I believe. But he talks about all these old school advertising and marketing methods that still apply today. And so it is one of my favorite books on marketing and selling, and it's based around these incredibly simple, yet timeless principles."
