About the Book

What does it take to really grow a business big?  Thinking big is not enough!

As successful business owners, we grow our company to a certain level—and then we seem to plateau. How do we take our business to the next level?

Louise Pasterfield has worked with business consultant Michael Walsh to grow her UK company from £400,000 per annum to £2 million in four years. With Michael’s continued help, she plans to go to £10 million in the next 3 to 4 years. While reviewing her progress, she and Michael identify the myths and misconceptions that limited the growth of her business, and the perspective shifts, strategies, and tools she has gained along the way.

This book contains practical ways of looking at growing a business and offers tools to help owners achieve their goals for more profit and more freedom. Providing a framework for creating strong, sustainable business growth, readers learn how to take their business to the next level.

“If you are a small to medium sized business owner and want to grow your business, this book is a MUST read. Through a detailed journey of one of his clients, Michael identifies the myths and misconceptions that can prevent you from achieving your goal. Along the way he describes in detail all the elements and structures necessary to grow and maintain a successful business.  I know that this approach indeed works, as Michael assisted in the growth of our company from $3M to $11M as well.”
