From the Author

Dear reader,

I wrote this book to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in taking their business to the next level. Having sold a business, and currently operating two ventures, I have experienced the struggles and rewards of small business ownership first-hand. I also had a great time interviewing more than 50 authors, experts and entrepreneurs who contributed greatly to LEAP!

I hope that you will find some golden nuggets here that will help you reach the prosperous phase of business ownership.

Wishing you joy and success,
Stephanie Chandler

This review is from: Leap!: 101 Ways to Grow Your Business (Paperback)

I anxiously awaited my pre-ordered copy of Leap! and after just the 1st few pages I was locked in. I read it in 3 sittings and hope every entrepreneur on the planet gets to access it. I write that because I am confident any business owner will find great value from this quick read...especially those feeling overwhelmed with all they have to do to keep up with technology/branding their company online.

The book has a very pragmatic tone to it. This empowers you to apply the principles to your specific niche immediately. Days after implementing a few of these easy to follow "ways" I have noticed improved productivity and results that are measurable. It shed great light onto the growth you can experience when you take a step back to evaluate what you and your team are doing day to day. Most importantly it shows you how to effectively delegate and automate areas of your business that may be draining your time ( and wallet!).

The thorough insight from the experts is the icing on the cake. You will find stories of entrepreneurs from all walks of life throughout the book which bring a very nice flow and personal touch to this great resource. I have read all her books and it baffles me how she keeps the fresh content coming year after year. Job well done on another book that will be by my side all year long!
