Thrive: Strategies to Turn Uncertainty to Competitive Advantage
Thrive is the roadmap of how to grow your business and drive sales in highly shifting, constantly changing economic times.
It is the story of those leaders and organizations that have seen consistent growth through several economic crisis-companies that were founded in the late 1700’s to early 1900’s and they are still in business thriving today.
In this book we share their stories, their struggles, and tell you exactly how they have not only overcome adversity, but thrived through it.
Praise for the Book:
“We live in a time when uncertainty is the order of the day. THRIVE is a must-read for all who strive to grow intellectually and to succeed through the opportunities an uncertain world offers.”
—Ken Langone, Founder, Home Depot, American Billionaire and Philanthropist
“Talk about the right book for the right time! What I liked most about THRIVE are the case studies of real companies and real people who weathered the storms and emerged more successful than before. THRIVE is both practical and inspirational. I’ve ordered copies for my entire team.”
—Bill Cates, CSP, CPAE, Founder, The Cates Academy for Relationship Marketing, Author of Radical Relevance
“In THRIVE, Meridith weaves in 250 years of business history to show how resilient businesses and people find opportunities in every situation. This is a must-read to gain ideas and perspective in a sea of change.”
—Mary C. Kelly, PhD, CEO, Productive Leaders, Author of The Five Minute Leadership Guide
“You do not merely read this book; you read, you think, you develop next steps. Meridith does a masterful job of detailing companies doing it right and then goes further by adding her insights to create a playbook of what you need to do. Perfect book for the time we’re in right now!”
—Mark Hunter, CSP, “The Sales Hunter”, Author of A Mind For Sales
“The only certainty in business is there will be times of great uncertainty. It’s how you react when your world—or the world—doesn’t go as planned that determines your future. Meridith studies how companies have thrived in their uncertain times to become global market leaders and shares the proven success strategies that you can implement in your business to do the same. If there was ever a time where our world needed this book, it’s now. Read it. Study it. And thrive!”

Good use of historically successful companies that have consistently followed patterns to grow despite uncertainty

I have known about Meridith for quite some time and see her postings regularly on LinkedIn. What I didn’t know, was how brilliant a business strategist she is, or how great of a storyteller she’s become. Thrive is filled with solid, logical thinking that will help your business reduce or eliminate the retaining forces that threaten your progress or survival and maximize and add the driving forces that will push you toward your desired outcomes. It’s also full of examples, stories, and real-life illustrations of the principles and methodologies she shares.
I’m sincerely impressed by this book and highly recommend and endorse it.

Disclaimer: I won this in a Goodreads giveaway.
There were so many good, detailed examples for each of the tips and steps, and most of the brands she mentioned I knew and a good many of them I've bought from. Her writing style was so easy to read, and made it such an enjoyable book to work through.

Buena referencia…
Una buena manera de ver las cosas cuando existe mucha incertidumbre y que definitivamente hay que sobreponerse a toda las dificultades que se nos presentan. La propuesta del autor ayuda a seguir un método el cual creo que cada uno podrá hacer algunos cambios para ajustarlo a sus necesidades.

The real life examples of companies that embraced change and what we all can learn from them are excellent. You must read all the way to the end to also see solid advice on applying these principles to your personal life. Thank you!

The last two chapters are great summaries of the contents. Skipping to the end does not sacrifice significant material.
