Scale or Fail: How to Build Your Dream Team, Explode Your Growth, and Let Your Business Soar

Rate this book
MP3 CD Format Scaling a business is not for the faint of heart. It's a mind-bending journey that causes millions of business owners around the globe to either throw in the towel—or avoid risk entirely and suffer from smallness and mediocrity. Most of these businesses fail because they are ill prepared to face the real challenges involved in scaling. Either they don't have the bandwidth to keep up with the sales demand or production, miss out on major opportunities due to fear, or keep making the same mistakes over and over because systems and processes aren't in sync with the rate of growth.

To truly scale, you must upsize your strategic practices, implement new marketing strategies, find new ways to build your team, and expand your mindset to break through whatever is keeping you stuck at the same level. Then you must be willing to take the leap into the giant unknown—to make your impossible possible.

In Scale or Fail , author Allison Maslan shares her revolutionary SCALEit Method® for successfully growing, replicating, and expanding your business. She also shares pivotal mindset strategies she's used to break the fear barrier as a trapeze artist so you can move past any obstacle, take strategic Big Picture risks, and fulfill your dreams of business expansion and skyrocketing profit.

Was not very motivational in my opinion. There were good points about how to treat staff, but no real details on how to do it. She keeps saying ‘you need to show your team that you’re passionate’ but never actually gives tips on how to do so. This is common throughout the book, lots of cute sayings but no real advice on actually how to achieve it.
Also it seemed like a ad most of the time. ‘here, at my website, you NEED a coach to be successful’ and ‘at my seminar, that is ESSENTIAL, you can learn how to…’. I just wasn’t a huge fan.

Broad concepts doesnt get to the derail

Covers broad concepts of scaling but ultimately does not get down in the detail or offer anything new.

The worst part is tht the manifesting, if you think it hard enough it will happen. Tha

Overall, a lot of waffle.

It is more of a mindset book rather than a business book.

I enjoyed the wholesome start of it but as it progressed I realised that it was never going to graduate from
very, very basic stuff.

On top of this, it felt like a marketing tool for her business mentorship programme after the 50th “check out out on www……”

I’ve never read a book that sounded so like an ad.

It was okay, but there are other business books out there that are far more worth more your time.

Unfortunately, the best parts of it were quotes she used from other people.

Outstanding read!

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to grow his or her business from a small startup or a small business with few employees to a large enterprise scale. This book actually ships the mindset and catches all the negative influences of our own belief system that prevent us from growing. Loved every piece of the book and it opened up new horizons for me. Definitely and highly recommend this to every business owner who is trying to scale.

Practical advice

Covers the basics of how to scale your company, with the most important is creating yourself time to think and lead the company, rather than micromanaging it.

Some very basic information and pretty common sense. It helps as a reminder and as a confirmation that you have the right tools to scale your business. The hardest part remains the implementation
