by Steve Preda, Gregory Cleary

TURN YOUR BUSINESS INTO A CATEGORY OF ONE IN YOUR INDUSTRY

Do you own a small business with more than a handful of employees? Are you frustrated that your organization has flat-lined? Do you feel drained by working long hours and only dreaming of having an energized team ready to step up and lead? Do you nurse an ambition to scale your business into one that dominates its niche? Are you concerned that time is running out and you may never fulfill your dreams?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you are holding the right book in your hands.

Look at somebody who is fit: they have a system. Look at somebody who has a great marriage: they have a system. Look at somebody who has great kids: they have a system.

So, is there a system that enables you, the entrepreneurial risk-taker, to acquire the business skills and structure you need to play bigger and dramatically grow your privately held business, without getting an MBA?

I was honored to receive advanced reader copy of this book and delighted to share my review.

This the second book from Steve that I am reading and the quality is great as always. The book provides valuable contents to support C-level people for business hypergrowth. The focus of business growth is around people, purpose, performance, playbooks and profit. All these elements need to be orchestrated in harmony to drive 5x growth. In the section of people we learn about company culture, functions and coaching of team mates to support their development and commitment for company's profitability. Purpose covers business vision, strategy and alignment between strategy and vision/purpose of the business.Playbooks help with operational side of definite tasks, organizing them and optimizing delegation. Performance section covers objectives and goals and how to measure sucess. When you reach profit chapter, you will learn how to price, optimize costs and work on the revenue side that will help you to accelerate your business.

Very interesting and full of rich example book that can support new way or thinking and/or organizing your thoughts and ideas into a structure that will help your company grow and thrive.
