The 5 Pillars of GUARANTEED Business Success: Why most businesses will stay small and what YOU do about YOURS.
Published by Empower Business Solutions Pty Ltd (Australia)
2008.
Dr Chapman has written this book divided into two key areas.
- The life cycles of a business:
- infancy
- adolescence
- growing pains
- maturity
- decay
- The 5 pillars of guaranteed business success:
- the plan
- marketing strategy
- business systems
- people systems
- you!
For any budding entrepreneur growing a small business or anybody that has ever grown and sold their business you will find yourself nodding (or crying) in agreement with nearly every aspect of this book.
However, rather than providing a ‘road map’ for your business this is more a ‘how to drive the car’ instructions manual that is incredibly useful and lets you know how to slow the vehicle down, speed it up and ultimately get you to where you want to go. The where you want to go is up to you.
The key to this book for small business is that it inspires and shows you how to drive and really gives you the tools drive.
Where you want to go is up to you. Take it for a test drive. Pointless having a map if you can’t reach your destination.
I highly recommend this book for any small business owners and suggest that you get along to one of Dr Greg Chapman’s Seminars. More information at www.gregchapman.biz and australiansmallbusiness.net.au
