Making Big Happen: Applying The Make Big Happen System to Grow Big
Most books that teach you how to build and grow a business are organized around the functional areas of business, such as people, finance, operations, and marketing. Those things are important and necessary-no question- but what is missing is an overarching methodology that systematically reels in every aspect of building and growing a successful company and creates a repeatable process to execute on the activities that will lead to BIG growth in your company. In his first book, Make BIG Happen, Mark Moses outlined the four questions that formed the foundation of CEO Coaching International, an executive coaching firm that has helped over 875 companies reach extraordinary revenue and EBITDA growth. Now, in Making BIG Happen, CEO Coaching International’s proven set of best practices have been translated into a simple three-step process, supported by over 30 tools, to show leaders how to achieve extraordinary business growth.

Very similar to Traction by Gino Wickman (and the EOS system), seems to have a bigger scope and more tools, however. Take your pick.

It uses practical examples which makes it more engaging. The book also focuses on accountability, development, and productivity.

Practical tips, to make your business tick
When you talk about value for money, this is one of those books where the scales aren’t really equal, to be honest, not at all. The value hidden in this book is simply priceless. You know, several books on “business success” go on, and on, rambling about the same stuff; discipline, save up, grind hard, etc. This book, however, brings it home. It’s a personal chat with Mark Moses, it’s like someone really coming down to your level and imparting on you. It’s just like getting coached.
What I enjoyed the most were the practical examples Mark gave. They were a mix of real-life experiences that worked, and tips you can do on your own to scale your business. Like I said earlier, it's like being coached, but not just by anyone, a coach who knows what they're doing with artillery of experience.
A fair warning: It's not for lazy folks, though, but I can stake anything telling you, you would love yourself if you can take your time to read this. I wish I did so when I started my business

Making Big Happen: Applying The Make Big Happen System to Grow Big is a book that centres on teaching leaders how to achieve extraordinary business growth.
This book was written by Mark Moses, the Founding Partner of CEO Coaching International, which has coached more than 875 of the world's top high-growth entrepreneurs and CEOs in over 45 countries. With this kind of credentials, I was sure he knows what he is talking about.
The book is very well-written and is filled with incredible and innovative ideas to implement in the business world. A lot of this information is helpful in a work environment, but there were some tips and suggestions that I felt could also be beneficial at home and in my personal life as well.
I highly recommend reading this book!

Making Big Happen by Mark Moses is the Business Mentoring book you could use in many situations. I don't mentor people through a business, but I do as a teacher, and I found this book priceless. I love the question, "How do you hold yourself accountable?" Even as mentors, we have to be accountable to someone, a system of rules, or the character of our own beliefs. I was very impressed with how well this book was written. Nuggets of wisdom are seamlessly woven throughout this book, but the visional aids are impressive as they illustrate the author's point of view. My favorite illustration was the pyramid of miracle growth strategy this hit home.

I love delving into business-related self-help books and Making Big Happen: Applying The Make Big Happen System to Grow Big by Mark Moses is one of these books that I found very helpful for business enthusiasts. I appreciate how the author emphasized that aiming for a huge business is never impossible if you just follow the best practices. This book teaches us that. It also shows and explains different sets of rhythms which were organized in a straightforward manner. I have learned new things through this book and as someone who wants to embark on business (and making it big) one day, I consider this a gem. I am planning to re-read again when I am ready to do business.

Making big happen by author Moses is a book that I am sure would help me rebuild and grow my business. Due to the pandemic I have had some problems with it so I am trying to inform myself as much as possible with books of this kind how to grow the business in a way that it maintains in time.
This book gave me information and ideas that I haven’t thought about before.
Achieving business growth is not something simple and the author has taught me the important point to focus to get this. Also, the book has many pictures and graphs that help me a lot to understand the author’s ideas, not only about how things work, but also about his experience. I would recommend reading it!

Setting up and developing a business is quite a challenge depending on the country where you live. Once we are able to make that happen, we want more, we want to make it big and this is why I have purchased Making Big Happen since it provides tools, practices and tips to take action.
Through a three-step process supported by over 50 tools, this book helps readers grow and shine in business.
Mark Moses is a CEO and he certainly knows what he is talking about and how to transmit it; he is actually kind enough to share his knowledge with all of us through in this easy-to-follow book for success.

There is so much essential information in this book that it is worth every minute of the time it took me to read it. In it, the authors help people to achieve their business goals in three steps. I liked the book mainly because it is clear and I could follow it without a problem; sometimes, business books tend to be a bit hard to grasp.
Another thing to mention is that the approach of this book towards the topic is different from others, it focuses on a methodology rather than on areas or operations.
I liked this book and I would recommend reading it to everyone who needs to grow their company and doesn't know where to start.

Interesting and thought-provoking.
In a few more than three hundred pages, author Moses proposes a methodology to help people grow their business. His vast knowledge on this field has made the information presented in this book as well as the voices of other authors important and believable.
Moses is not the only one who contributed to write this book; Craig Coleman, Chris Larkins, and Don Schiavone are also part of this reading that is interesting and thought provoking.
I would recommend reading it to everyone interested in business practices and how to improve, grow and even, build a business. I liked it.

I have been looking for a read that was interesting enough and that would help me grow my business. When I read the description of this book, I knew it would be more than interesting so I didn’t hesitate to read it.
Making Big Happen provides the tools and information needed to grow a business in a simple (as the author mentions) three-step process. Although I cannot say I believe everything is too easy in this process, I must admit that I believe the information and the process is very clear and I feel it would bring good results. I would recommend reading this book and making your own ideas about it!

I must admit that I really liked this book; but, to begin with, I must also say that I have given this book three stars because I think everything is presented as to be so simple… ”international’s proven set of best practices have been translated into a simple three-step process”. I really hope all this works like this, but until trying myself with my own business I have my doubts. Sorry about that.
Apart from what I’ve mentioned, I liked this book and found it to be inspiring and interesting. Achieving our goals is something we all want and even more so when we are the leaders in the team. I will put the advice and ideas the authors give into practice.
