Have you ever heard of the 'Six Figure Speed Bump' or the 'Quarter Million Dollar Speed Bump? It's the entrepreneurial glass ceiling that prevents a person from advancing to the next level of success, and though it happens in nearly every business, it's a particularly big challenge for service professionals such as coaches.
Most if not all of you know my friend and colleague Michael Port, who wrote the best-selling classic 'Book Yourself Solid.' In his follow-up act, Beyond Booked Solid, Michael addresses the issue of growth - innovation and growth to be exact - in other words, how to grow your business well, sustainably, meaningfully and lucratively.
Starting a business is one thing, staying in business another, and really taking that business over the top, to the place where you're here to stay, playing for the long term, and ultimately being able to sell that business perhaps, that's what BBS is about.
In a nutshell, many clients I work with relate too well to what Dave Buck says, 'I'm self-employed and I work for a lunatic.'
Michael's book gets a top recommendation from me as a how-to guide for curing that lunacy. And further points for walking the talk - every business book is written under pressure from publishers to be the best it can be (in their definition, which is sometimes different from the author's.) I'm so happy to shine a light on Michael's commitment to go the extra mile, evident in every chapter. He's included both the doing and the being elements of success - bravo Michael!
