The Science of Scaling: Grow Your Business Bigger and Faster Than You Think Possible
New York Times Bestseller!
What if scaling wasn’t about working harder—but seeing your business through an entirely new lens?
Are you stuck growing 10–20% a year while dreaming of bigger impact—and wondering why scale feels out of reach?
Here’s the hard linear growth isn’t just slow—it’s a sign your business is heading toward stagnation. Research shows that businesses that don’t scale quickly usually fail altogether. Why? Because most leaders are focused on the wrong things, operating from the wrong assumptions, and setting the wrong goals.
In The Science of Scaling, organizational psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Benjamin Hardy, and Blake Erickson, co-founders of Scaling.com, reveal a revolutionary framework that helps companies scale bigger and faster than they ever thought possible. In fact, companies that apply this framework routinely grow 10–100x within just three years.
You’ll
The single starting point every scaling company must define—but most completely miss How to use time as a tool to eliminate dead ends and force focusHow to identify your blind spots—and stop justifying the decisions that keep you smallHow to simplify your business model and system so it actually scalesHow to attract and empower world-class talent who deliver exponential results
Before you finish this book, you’ll experience a paradigm shift so profound that it will change how you see everything. You’ll realize you’ve been playing small, operating linearly out of fear. And you’ll finally understand how to scale the right with bold, impossible goals, extreme honesty, and the true “focus”— defined as filtering for only the people and paths that align directly with your highest vision.
If you’re satisfied with small wins and incremental gains, this book isn’t for you.
But if you’re ready to stop optimizing what shouldn’t exist—and finally build a business that scales—this is your playbook.

This was so good! I've read all the other books written by Ben Hardy and enjoyed them. This was even better than that one.
Like all his stuff so far, it's not a complicated concept. But he has a way of cutting through the noise, getting to the heart of the idea and making it tangible and achievable.
I've rethought a couple of my plans thanks to this book already and I'm super excited to see what comes next.
This is especially good for those who have big dreams that are coming along slower than you hoped.

Great book, it didn’t exactly line up with where my business is, but I took so many great nuggets of truth from it. And don’t skip the epilogue - his discussion of time and its meaning was my favorite part of the entire book.
