No business is built in isolation or in a vacuum. Many entrepreneurs have coaches and mentors who lead the way and guide them along the journey of building the business of their dreams.

Additionally, there are ways to gain access to, and consume, valuable information: videos, podcasts, blogs, forums, magazines and of course, newsletters.
Newsletters are often a treasure trove of information. Topical experts painstakingly curate the best content on a specific subject and present it in an easy-to-read format for their subscribers.
Most importantly, this is information you don't have to dig for and find yourself. Someone else has done the work for you, and the only thing you have to do is make the time to consume the information so you can stay up to date in your industry and implement ideas that will help your company grow.
If you aren't subscribed to these newsletters yet, you need to have a look for yourself.
1. SaaS Weekly
In SaaS Weekly, serial entrepreneur Hiten Shah curates the best content across the web to help SaaS business owners grow their business. As you can guess, these new newsletters go out on a weekly basis.
Shah's newsletter focuses on SaaS businesses, but he also curates content related to marketing, sales, product creation, content marketing and more, making it a valuable resource for entrepreneurs in a variety of spaces.

Cybersecurity is an issue affecting all entrepreneurs and businesses using smartphones, tablets, computers and any device with internet access -- and that's most of us.
Keeping sensitive information secure is top of mind for many companies, and this task is only going to increase in importance with the continued proliferation of big data, and developments with the cloud and the internet of things.
Morning Cybersecurity is a daily newsletter that offers insights into politics and cybersecurity. But, of course, security is something that affects all industries, not just the political world, and isn't something growing companies should be ignoring.
