Lots of Interesting Ideas

Any additional comments?

I think there are a lot of applicable (even if not wholly original) ideas in the book: distinct stages in the life of a company, doing a Minimum Viable Product (using language from the Lean Start-Up), getting out of the way of your own employees, etc. It mostly felt like a mash-up of 4 Hour Workweek and The Lean Start-Up, with some Rich Dad thrown in. There was more "become rich and don't work much" hype than I'd prefer. Overall, a pretty worthwhile read, especially if you haven't read similar books already, but not really a gamechanger for me.

Great book

This is a must if you are learning about business. Talking about a topic that is seldom discussed in books of this type: the stages of evolution of a business and how strategy needs to adapt to the changes. Good narration and quality as well.

Excellent!

Excellent book - very focused, with great advice for entrepreneurs. No matter what stage your business is at, you're sure to find something of immediate relevance.
Only negative for me is the narrator: I would've loved to hear this read by the author himself. The narrator simply does not sound authoritative enough. You don't get the sense that he has any connection to this material; that he been through any of these experiences.

Great business principles

great book with step to step instructions to grow your business and scale regardless of what level of Revenue you are at

I can't stop listening

I've been in business for over a 15 years starting up several companies and I've never read a book that simplifies how to grow a business from any stage, until now. Simply put, this book puts all other business books to shame when it comes to the formula of business success.

Excellent book!

Grabbed some priceless nuggets from this book! I would definitely recommend this book to current or future business owners

The most impressive audiobook I have ever listened to

This phenomenal masterpiece led me to get my first run of sales in my business. This book is the holy grail of people wanting to start a business and a book I wish existed when I was 20. I extremely recommend this book for anyone who wants to get some amount of profit in a business that may be failing or not doing so well.

Best Business Book Ever Written

Everyone owning or wanting to start their own business needs to read this book. He goes over how to grow and scale a business using information from over 50 businesses and the similarities. A must read if you want to be successful!

I'll look back at this is 20 yrs and thank author

Wow. The immense value I feel from reading this is just indescribable. The author really did his best to give his many years of building and growing businesses to entrepreneurs so that they can value from it. Suffices to say I think this book will be a pillar throughout my life and that is just about the highest praise I can give it.
