How to be less amateur? (alien.top)

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?

I highly recommend you start looking into Knowledge Management and how it relates to your business. A lot of the resources out there focus on enterprise level organizations, but from my experience working with individuals it’s just as important to develop in small businesses (especially ones that are growing like yours)

In a nutshell, Knowledge Management will allow you to create the resources and culture to encourage collaboration and prevent your company’s knowledge from getting siloed. In a small company where people wear different hats it’s important to 1) know what’s going on and 2) be able to get the resources/information you need, when you need it, in the form you need it

I can provide some of books and resources or if you have any questions I’m more than happy to answer them
