How to Grow Your Small Business: A 6-Step Plan to Help Your Business Take Off

Donald Miller's "How to Grow a Small Business" is a great resource for entrepreneurs who want practical advice on how to grow their businesses. The book is easy to read, digest and implement. The advice has an immediate impact on growing my business, and can do the same for yours as well.I liked how thoughtfully the book was organized using the metaphor of the business as an airplane, with the parts of the airplane each relating to the essential parts needed to grow your business, including leadership (cockpit), sales and marketing (engines), products (wings), operations (body), and finance (fuel). The section on cash flow management was particularly helpful to me as a marketer since it's not often included in business guides for marketing professionals.One of my favorite things about this book is how Miller draws on his own personal experience. He knows what he's talking about - he was already a best-selling author before diving into the world of business consulting. His insights and guidance are based on real-life experience, which makes them all the more valuable and relatable.Another thing I appreciate about Miller's approach is how he challenges misconceptions about what types of businesses can benefit from structured, repeatable processes. He argues that processes can benefit almost any type of business, even creative ones. And he provides solid frameworks for each part of your business, using plenty of examples to back up his point. These frameworks are proving to be invaluable to me.If you’re an entrepreneur who wants a smart, inspiring guide to taking your businesses to the next level, I recommend "How to Grow a Small Business." It's conversational, engaging, and provides actionable guidance you won't want to miss.

I wasn't sure what to expect the I purchased this book. I've had a small business for many years. You're always looking for ways to help your business grow. I thought, why not have a look.The book was very simple and clear. The author breaks down complex concepts into east to understand steps making it accessible for entrepreneurs at all levels.The book inspires you to want to apply these principles right away and get the ball rolling to help your business to the next level.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in growing their business and needs fresh ideas to make it happen.Can't wait to see what where applying this information take my business. I'm already beginning to see a change.

I bought this book because our company went through a though time with 10 week delay of one of our best selling product. I hated the first five pages about a small business being like an airplane but the rest of the book is pure gold for a small or medium size business. I will implement a lot of these suggestions and especially the ideas with marketing sales and cash flow (we already did a few things with the cash flow. The book is really a light and quick read but hopefully the ideas in the book will stay implemented in your for years to come. Good luck and never forget small business owners are one of the most important wheel in the economy and the way for you to have a job you love and the freedom to schedule your own time. Good luck.

I picked up "How to Grow Your Small Business" by Donald Miller because I work with a lot of small business owners who feel overwhelmed by the day-to-day logistics of running their own business. This book is exactly what they need to get back on track. Miller presents a clear and easy-to-understand framework that can be applied to any business, no matter the industry.What I appreciated most about this book is that Donald Miller doesn't just provide general advice, but rather he offers specific strategies for finding and hiring the best candidates, organizing your company structure, identifying and reaching your key customers, and increasing capacity to better serve your customers. These are all areas my clients struggled with.I also appreciated that he writes from experience. He knows firsthand the frustration of being pulled in different directions as a small business owner and shares his hard-won wisdom with readers. The book is written in an engaging and conversational style, making it a pleasure to read.

In short, the book is worth buying and reading. The many activities (forms to fill out, conversations to hold) are appropriate, though most readers will only want to or need to complete a few.I've been kicking around this planet and in business for several decades, and this book taught me a lot. That could only be said for a few self-help or business books.Having heaped the above praise, honesty requires one caveat: The book could be compressed into 25 pages or a 7-minute YouTube video. 1) buy it and 2) carefully skim it. Know that if it doesn't significantly change your outlook on business, you skimmed too quickly.

I truly cannot say enough about this book. It is an easy yet educational read filled with vital information and hands-on guides that map out a successful strategy in ways I haven't seen in my 7+ years of working with small businesses.When I set out to embark on creating my own small business, I underestimated just how much there was to do. This book is one of the things that has helped me along my journey the most and I feel like, no matter what business you own, this has something for you.The analogies are so well put, the worksheets are so strategic, and the thought put into this formula is just what I needed.10/10 would recommend!

I ordered the paperback but received the hardcover. That’s fine I guess, I’ve been following Donald Miller for awhile and I’m looking forward to getting into this book! I have the audiobook for Story Brand and I have Story Brand2 pre-ordered. Valuable information in all of his books!!! Marketing made simple!

Atendeu todas as expectativas.

It's a every day play book, great tips for your business

This book is so perfect for entrepeneurs. A straight forward on how to start building your airplane. Recommended for anyone starting a business or for someone that already has one!

If you are in the initial stages of developing your business I strongly recommend this book.The color pages mentioned in the video of Donald Miller are printed in black and white in the copy I received it is very disappointing
