Based on the hit book "How to Grow Your Business Without Driving Yourself Crazy", this book has our most popular small business advice, condensed into a pocket-sized (4x6) volume.
4 x 6. 44 pages.
FOR ANY BUSINESS OWNER-FROM 1 TO 100 EMPLOYEES
The bigger a small business grows, the more difficult it can be to grow yet larger.
Everyone thinks their own business is unique. However, I have worked with way over a thousand small business owners, and I assure you, the problems are very similar. Once I give the same piece of advice a thousand times, I put it in this little book.
If you just read these pieces, they are platitudes. If you ignore these issues, they become roadblocks. If you heed them, they are a roadmap to business success.
But this isn't rocket science. You won't find the latest management theories and buzzwords here.
Just two things:
- Common sense tips that suggest practical things you can do, or that remind you of what you already know but neglect.
- Questions to stimulate your thinking. Answering these questions for yourself is almost always better than an expert's opinion.
