Written by two highly experienced business practitioners, this book sizzles with practical insights of how to avoid some of the typical and not-so-typical business-growth problems. Most entrepreneurs are too busy doing their business to recognize many of the problems growth produces. They keep running it like it was 10-15 years ago. It just doesn t work. The authors take the reader through a life-like story of a business struggling with the Seven Critical Issues (sorry, you have to read the book to find out what they are). The reader is given some valuable insights how these miss-steps can be avoided, if you take the time to read the book. This information can save a business owner a lot of heartburn---and money. Who should read the book The big guys in the big companies probably know most of this by now or they would not continue to be big guys in big companies (the Fortune 500). But the majority of entrepreneurs who started their companies 15-20 years ago are probably the right target. Most likely they are still running their business based on what the knowledge they developed in the trenches - practical experience. They probably don t know what they need to know (unconscious incompetence) about how to transition their business from the early-entrepreneur model to one that can deal with today s highly competitive environment. Please get this book to as many small business owners as you can. You will be doing them a big favor.
