Amazing

Super clear cut and is shown to be the fruit of someone who has been in the trenches of building a small business.

This was a great listen

This is not your average how to grow a business book. This was a striaght to the point problem solving tool to use to close more sales. That grows the business. Great example on how to use the techniques in this book. I am rating a 5 because the book have real value for business owners and sales ppl.

Jumpstart to a better small business

Great playbook for getting your small business to the next level. I treasure the chapter on writing my million dollar pitch and the numerous downloads available through the website.

Highly recommended.

My favorite book on business

Read for instant applicable and actionable insight for new entrepreneurs or seasoned business owners. Truly my favorite book on business. It’s simple, straight-forward and chocked full of wisdom. I am usually an audiobook lover, but got so much out of this book that I bought the hard copy to refer back to. Think of it as a reference book for systems and stability for structuring your small business.

Got me wires to Win!

This information is worth a $5-10k a year coaching program to be successful in any type of business or service that you can think of. I’m determined to follow these steps to become a multi millionaire in the next 3 years.

Holy S Balls, I loved it!!!!

Wow. Just wow. This and The E Myth have been my two favorite entrepreneur books so far. The E Myth is more of a storyline with a lesson, though. How to Grow Your Small Business has a lot of worksheets and provides a more solid way to implement business strategies.

It’s designed as a framework, something I definitely can see how to utilize in my own business. Miller’s other book: Building a Storybrand is widely known and popular. I honestly haven’t read it yet but it’s been on my list to read. This book summarizes his previous book in one chapter and also provides structure around that so you can understand not only how to have a storybrand but build your business around it. I love this. I probably won’t bother reading the storybrand book because I’m not a fan of too much fluff and if this goes over the basics, I think I’m good. The book was released in March of this year so it doesn’t have a ton of reviews yet (I'll be the 99th reviewer on Audible!) but it’s so, so, so good. I highly recommend it for any business owner.

A MUST READ SMALL BUSINESS BOOK

I like this book. It is a book for solid business advice to take your small business from struggling to being successful. I look forward to building my small business using these ideas.

Concentrated

I liked the overall principles and the simple scheme the writer provides. However, I think he should've expanded on some of subjects more. The book ended without me even realizing.

Mini Small Business MBA right here

Great work. I’ve owned a successful small business for over a decade. This book will help me double my revenue. Thank you.

Terrific advice for scaling your small business

I loved the book. Donald Miller has another winner here with this game-changing book for business leaders. I particularly liked his examples and stories.
