The one strategy that has made the biggest impact on the growth of Marissa Levin's multi-million-dollar, self-funded, global business is the implementation of an advisory board. After carefully researching the process she used to create a board that took her business to the next level, Levin created SCALE, a patent-pending method that helps other business owners recruit, implement, and leverage their own business-altering advisory boards.
In Built to Scale: How Top Companies Create Breakthrough Growth Through Exceptional Advisory Boards, Levin uses her proven SCALE framework to guide you step-by-step as you build the advisory board you need to become an exceptional, connected, knowledgeable leader with a successful and profitable business. Whether you're a start-up or an established $50 million firm, Built to Scale will give you the knowledge and tools you need to:
Select the people you need to take your business from where it is now to where you want it to be while helping you develop exceptional leadership skills
Compensate your advisors (you'll learn about monetary, non-monetary, and equity-based options along with the legal and financial implications)
Associate them into your organization with an effective change management strategy that minimizes disruption and maximizes effectiveness
Leverage your advisors for business, process, and infrastructure development as well as for networking and strategic planning
Evaluate and evolve the board as your organization grows
