It has been 12 years since Verne Harnish's book "Mastering the Rockefeller Habits" was first released. This is the first major revision of this business classic. In Scaling Up, Harnish and his co-authors share practical tools and techniques to help entrepreneurs grow an industry -- dominating business without it killing them -- and actually have fun. Many growth company leaders reach a point where they actually dread adding another customer, employee or location. It feels like they are just adding more weight to an ever-heavier anchor they are dragging through the sand. To make matters worse, the increased revenues have not turned into more profitability, so at some point they wonder if the journey is worth the effort. This book focuses on the four major decisions every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution and Cash. The book includes a series of new One-Page tools including the famous and recently-revised One-Page Strategic Plan and the Rockefeller Habits Execution Checklist, which more than 40,000 firms around the globe have used to scale their companies successfully. Running a business is ultimately about freedom. The book shows owners how to achieve it, no matter how big and complicated a business grows.

I have read a lot of business books, literally thousands, and I would put this book in my top 10 for sure. There are many, many absolutely superb books on business strategy, leadership, high performance teams, company culture and such but this is a rare book that not only addresses these core elements of running a successful business but also has the specific "how to" workshops necessary to put these critical ideas into action. This is perhaps the single best book I've ever seen that clearly lays out precisely what the management team must do to lead their entire company through multiple growth phases. Verne Harnish is considered one of the most widely respected business growth experts in the world and this book proves why he has that reputation. I have now read, and re-read "Scaling Up" three times cover-to-cover and have recommended it to dozens of my clients. In my opinion this is a "must read" book if you want to understand how to grow your business with discipline and build a sustainably successful organization. I give this book my highest possible personal recommendation.

I just bought Scaling Up and have to save that I love it and the supporting website (www.scalingup.com) that has all of the free templates and plans. This is definitely a book to read cover to cover and use as a primer to run your business. There are 3 business books, Traction (Gino Wickman) Rockefeller Habits - Now Scaling Up, and The Advantage by Pat Lencioni I only wish I had these three when I started out. Nice work Verne for the book, the shares and the framework.

The predecessor to this book and this book are the top-recommended book(s) I tell entrepreneurs to read to systematically grow their businesses with focus and discipline. Verne's language is very clear, and his approach is extremely actionable. There is no mystery of what to do, the day you put down this book!

This is a useful book, but be forewarned, it's more of a training manual than traditional business book (thus the 4 stars). The book is true to its title, and offers a rich source of well-referenced, practical tools and worksheets for scaling various parts of your business. Another useful contribution are the detailed examples and cases used throughout the book.

Having said that, reading the book is a bit of slog, as it is intended more as a reference manual.
