Reviews

[Jerry Reyes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dan Sullivan does a superb job of separating the two categories of entrepreneurs. Most entrepreneurs, when they start their company, find themselves doing everything, generally, there is no way around that. However, as the company develops, you need to take the time to find out if your strengths is to take a topic, subject, thing and simplify it, or are you the type of person that knows how to market and network to have that topic, subject, or thing and expand it, hence you are a multiplier. The great and successful entrepreneurs figure this out as early as possible and focus on this strength. Take the time to figure this out; your business can grow exponentially and faster than ever.

This book is about a useful mental model.
The world is complex
Simplifiers add value by making some aspect of the complexity in the world more simple. This adds value
Multipliers teach other people how to take advantage of this simplicity. They add value
You should focus on being to be a Simplifier or a Multiplier. Not both.

Short and sweet. I gained some valuable distinctions to consider but there's nothing groundbreaking here.
