"Having been there and done that you know exactly what needs to be done to grow a company and that is a powerful message."

I have grown two companies from $0 to over $100 Million in sales in my career and learned Lots of secrets few people in the world know today. When you think about it for a moment you will realize that you cannot possibly manage a small growth company like you would a medium size or larger company and expect to be successful. You would never launch a product for IBM or GE like you would if you were in a startup. With these extremes it is easy to see the need for a different management style for your company, but how many different ways are there to run a company and how do you know when to "shift gears"? I have been very fortunate to have participated in all sized of companies in my career. I have worked for two multi-billion dollar conglomerates, Grumman Aerospace and The International Thomson Organization. I have helped launch eight different startups now and I have grown two of those to over $100 million in sales pretty rapidly. Along the way I have made many mistakes and invented many systems to avoid repeating them in the future. For the last two years I have spent the bulk of my time writing and documenting these systems that I have developed over 15 years as a CEO and 25 years as an entrepreneur.

How should you adjust you management style, risk appetite, evaluation of opportunities and other factors based on the stage of your company? I have search quite a bit looking for books on this and yet most management books are "generic" for all size companies and give advice that is perfectly good for a large company and could be fatal for a smaller company.

In my experience entrepreneurs, executives and even lower level managers rarely adjust their style properly for the stage of a company's development. What happens most often is people take what they learned at one company and bring those strategies, tactics and lessons to their next company without a lot of thought around one of the biggest variables affecting how you should manage - Namely the current size and development stage of the company.

I have seen brilliant people do really silly things when launching and managing a startup. I have actually seen people pour millions of dollars down the drain by acting like they were at a big company, when they were working for a startup. In fact I think that one of the main reasons so many new companies fail today is that getting this information and experience is almost impossible today. THIS IS WHY I HAD TO WRITE "Managing an Early-Stage Business For Rapid Growth". I can't stand waste and believe so many more people can be successful, and not lose their life savings, if they simply had a framework to help them adjust to the "mode of management" for the five different stages of company development. Besides few people have had the kind of experience I have had at pretty much all sizes of companies, never mind through rapid grow, and so I have developed a system that hardly anyone else could.

  • Modes Of Management Explained - How to shift management gears for minimum pain and optimum growth
  • People Management Methods That Work - There are loads of management philosophies out there and I do not want to create another, but I will give you a system that shows when each of four systems simple systems should be used.
  • A Framework For Employee Growth and Development - This tool will turn around your culture and preempt bad feeling by empowering people to grow as fast as your company. It will prevent the best people from leaving and put each individual in a position to accelerate their own career.
"I must congratulate you on your excellent piece 'The 11 Requirements of a Successful Vision'. I am a CEO of a midsized company with an MBA in marketing. So far, I have not come across so much clarity in any other article on "Corporate Vision. . . . Thank you once again for publishing a masterpiece."  
                                           -- Uday s Desai, CEO, Suprawin
  • Tuning Your Vision - A complete framework for mapping out your vision and making sure it is complete. The ability to use a vision separates the average from the exceptional performers.
  • Risk Assessment and Management Tool - Here is a tool to help find, define and reduce the risks in your business. It will help you communicate these to everyone and also tune risks out of your business model.
  • The Top 8 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service - Amazingly today, even with improved technology, customer service at many larger companies is deteriorating. Understanding why and applying this "Top 10 List" to you business will get you more customers, keep customers longer and get you free word-of-mouth advertising.

  • How To Map Out Your Hiring Plan and Find The Best People - This system will help you better define who to hire using dimensions and considerations that few people consider in the hiring process. You should be able to at least double your hiring success rate using this.

This book has everything you need to adjust your management style to your company's stage of development for more rapid growth and success. This means you will get more sales, invest less capital and have lower costs than competitors. You will lower the risk of failure in many areas of your business and as a result take on new business that might have gone to fighting fires. Starting and running a company is one of the most complex and risky things you will ever do - Doesn't getting help and advice from someone who has done it many times make lots of sense.

Reinventing the wheel and learning these expensive lessons on their own has literally cost people hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions of dollars before; when they could have simply gotten some guidance from someone who was successful doing exactly that in the past. I can pretty much guarantee that you will get the cost of this book back in a single week applying even one idea from this book. As a business owner this information has huge leverage and should make you hundreds of thousands of extra dollars over your career. It will also show your employees you are a professional that works hard to learn and improve and help you build the admiration of your staff.

"In building First Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget, but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to manage a team to get it done, are still the best I've ever seen." -- Jim Rutt - ex-CEO Network Solutions, The Internet Registration Company

I have seen companies crash and burn because they can not adapt to the "startup mode" necessary. I have seen companies frozen in time and unable to shift gears to the next level after a successful launch. I have seen companies built like a battleship that should be built like a speedboat. And yet there is so little material available to study on this phenomenon it is amazing. I guess anyone that has figure this out has long since retired wealthy and doesn't have to work anymore.

I retired once at age 29, then got bored and decided that I would likely work, at least part-time for the rest of my life because I loved it, not because I needed the money. This book could be the difference between you building a $1 million company and a $25 million company.

P.S.- P.S.- This book is not for everyone. It is for serious entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to become world-class executives and learn a proven system to grow businesses to over $100 Million in sales rapidly. If you are not prepared to work hard, or if you are not open to advice and learning from the mistakes and successes of others, then I would recommend you NOT buy this book. It is not a "get rich quick" formula like many products offered on the Internet - It is a time tested system developed by someone who has "Done it before", and who has documented successful systems, philosophies and frameworks so others can benefit, create jobs and build companies and personal wealth.
