Thanks, Mark, for this great book. It cuts to the chase on how people in small service businesses can radically improve their ability to get business. Your "defining statement" concept is a work of genius.

"Growing Your Business" has become my desktop business bible!This book takes the grey area out of running your business, and gives you a simple, common sense way to run and grow your business. The A.M. and P.M. questions got me focused and on track in 24 hours! The MAP Attack alone gives you a systematic, consistent methodology for getting your products and services in front of the people who want to buy, but you'll want to use the entire system for the best results!

I love Mark's ability to get you to think about your life and business in a whole new light...because when we're running a business it's all to easy to forget the balance of other things and people in your life.

In "Growing Your Business", you'll find the best way to articulate what you love to do, what you need to do, how to do it with little stress and (in Mark's words) with your fun meter on MAX! That's my kind of life! Thanks Mark!

I first met Mark LeBlanc when he did a talk in Charlotte, NC, and I was extremely impressed with his presentation. This book is much of what he covered in the seminar, and believe me, it makes incredible sense! If you are seeking a no-nonsense, very usable guide to positioning yourself and your business, Growing Your Business is a must-have. I have tried LeBlanc's methods, and they are solid gold!

The best part of Mark LeBlanc's book is that his ideas are ones that can be put to use immediately. One concept that really got me going is what he calls Target 25. He discusses this on pages 65 - 67. It is so easy to use and I have found out a principle that underlies it: other people really do want to be part of my success! In return, I continually offer myself to them as their partner in success. Mark's approach is positive, within your reach, and it works! I am grateful to Mark for sharing these ideas with his readers.

Mark LeBlanc's Growing Your Business is a succint yet thorough approach to how to effectively grow a business. I'm very discerning about what information I pass along to my clients. This book is definitely worthy of being passed along to every one of my clients.

Mark's book is simple, straightforward, and filled with ideas that you can use to grow your business. The "Defining Statement" is a gem that gets you clear on how to answer the question "What do you do?" He helps you develop a clear and concise business model that you can actually put to use every day. I love his wrapup of the 3 Rs; what can you Realistically do, on a Regular basis to Reach your goals. I highly recommend "Growing Your Business" and enjoyed it so much that I gave away 5 copies to friends.

The book was smaller than I thought but full of great information. It arrived in perfect condition and shipped quickly.

This is a small but powerful book. If you own or are thinking about starting a professional services business, then you should read this book.
When running a business, there are two important aspects to making it successful over the long run: the marketing and running the business. This book touches on some aspects of running the business. Its real strength is in creating a simple, repeatable, totally doable structure for sustainable marketing.
This book will be on my list of recommended reading for all small business owners!

This short book provides concise and clear advice on how to grow your business, with useful exercises that will help you find clarity on the business process. The Early morning and evening question especially is useful for helping a business owner get oriented on what needs to be done to make a day successful. I will note that the book, due to the shortness of its length, doesn't touch on all aspects of a business or what a business owner might need to do with those aspects, but what makes this book so useful is it provides the necessary clarity combined with exercises that are easy to implement, making it a must read book for growing your business.

I constantly refer to Mark's great little book, especially when I forget any of his helpful information. It is written just the way I like it: direct, excellent and clear. I have given this book away to many of my own prospects.Great job, Mark!Vision with a Capital V: Create the Business of Your Dreams
