Capacity is mostly about how building a system helps entrepreneurs to scale in their businesses. It talk about the five pillars on how businesses scale such as executive strategy, financial strategy, etc.

What I like about the audiobook is its clear explanation of the concepts drawing from the author’s wide experience and expertise. It especially helps busy executives and extrepreneur to get powerful ideas with enough context or background.

I’d recommend this book to any business professionals who would like to scale their businesses especially if they feel they don’t have much time reaource.
