A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Informative! Action steps included!
For the business owner that needs help WITHIN the organization. There are dozens of other books relating to business structure, systemization, management, prioritizing... etc. However, this is the BEST! It combines all the important aspects of those books then clarifies the points with actionable tips. There is no fluff, banter, or unnecessarily long stories. I didn't fast forward once for this book! ❤️

An EMBA for Dollars not Thousands
Would you listen to Scale again? Why?
This is a great book with actionable, simple tools from two people who have learned the lessons the hard way and then put them into action to great success. It is well done and succinct. I'm going to suggest this to accelerators and incubators.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Scale?
The tool box.
Which character – as performed by David Finkel – was your favorite?
Jeff of course, but I relate more with him.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
