You could read lots and lots of business books explaining each and every aspect of building your business. Or you can read this book that takes the great ideas and points and combines them into one resource.
My problem with growing my own business was I didn't realize what I didn't know. This book had so many, 'oh that will save time', 'I'd never thought of it that way', 'why didn't anyone tell me this sooner?'
"You can either learn from mentors or mistakes"
I'll add one more to that quote, sometimes you make mistakes and learn nothing because you think the idea doesn't work. This book has helped me go back and try ideas again that I'd failed with before because I didn't know the best practice strategy. I'd tried and assumed it just wouldn't work for my business.
These ideas in the book aren't just ideas in a vacuum, they are supported by case studies, practical examples, and other notable quotable from industry leaders.
I will be reviewing this book every 6 months as I continue to grow my business.
A must have resource for any business owner or anyone thinking about starting a business. Do it right and learn from best practices, don't reinvent the whole wheel yourself.

Review
"...both entertaining and informative. Your humor combined with the powerful information is like combining Steve Martin and Steve Forbes."
- JIM STOVALL -(Emmy Award winner, International Humanitarian of the Year Award winner, Entrepreneur of the Year Award winner, best known for his bestselling novel The Ultimate Gift)
From the Author
This book is the culmination of years that I have spent business coaching diligent business owners like you that have a sincere interest in developing the time freedom and financial freedom that they have always wanted.
When it comes to business growth and consulting, I can confidently say that the action items, stories, Marination Moments, and "notable quotables"will help you succeed in business, and also in life. Become proactive with your business and transition from working IN your business to ON it.
From my vast experience business consulting, everything you need is now in one book. Inside this book you will find unfiltered entrepreneurship - real and raw stories that allow you to learn through us as mentors rather than your own mistakes.
From the Inside Flap
Walter Isaacson, author of the authorized biography of Steve Jobs, recorded these thoughts from his subject, "It was absurd, he added, that American classrooms were still based on teachers standing at a board and using textbooks. All books, learning materials, and assessments should be digital and interactive, tailored to each student and providing feedback in real time."
Steve was right. Those kinds of archaic teaching methods are absurd. Welcome to the business school Steve Jobs would have been proud of.
"Vision without execution is hallucination."
~ Thomas Edison
(Inventor of the modern light bulb, recorded audio and recorded video)
If you invest the time needed to read this book and implement the strategies found within these pages, I GUARANTEE that you will become successful financially and you will create massive quantities of time freedom. When you choose to use the proven strategies, systems, tools, workshops, training videos and templates found within this book, you will achieve much more, much quicker than if you were out there alone trying to learn through the process of trial and error.

Not worth the .99 cents I paid. Even if free, it's useless without the needed files.
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2021Verified Purchase
This book was so frustrating to read because every link that was provided was no longer working, and believe me, there were lots of of them throughout the whole book, which makes this book useless, in my opinion if you can't access any of the needed downloadable files. I even went to the thrive15.com website and saw a list of all the downloadable sheets, but when clicked on, all it does is takes you back to the same page. Very dissatisfied.

As someone who has read many excellent business books throughout his career before meeting Clay Clark and Marshall Morris, I can say there are many great books on business and how to start a business. However, there are exactly ZERO books better than this one. The Start Here book doesn't just provide you with the steps, but also the templates and platform you need to point yourself toward a pathway to success. The passion of the authors shine through and this is a book that should be the only textbook an business student needs during their education, whether in college or on ones own. With such an actionable book from start to finish, it is easy to give this book 5 stars and my only wish would be to be able to give it 10 stars. It is that good.

Well this is Actually Michael Desrochers on his wife's account. I digress though. When it comes to business books most people think boring legal self help crap. When reading this book it has inspired me, but also giving me the knowledge and information needed in order to Thrive not just survive in life. Not only with my Finances but with my Family, Friends, Fitness, and most important my Faith and Fun. I recommend any book written by Clay Clark. This Is an awesome and amazing read you wont want to put it down

I just finished "Becoming the Elephant in the Room" co-authored by Clay Clark! Was recommended this one as his second read and very much looking forward to it!

I've read several similar books: Scale, Michael Gerber books, Jack Welch's Winning, etc. I wish I'd just started with Clark and Morris' book. It has them all and more. Definitely worth the read. Also, check out their podcast. It's a great, funny resource. I also find their coaching incredibly valuable for the cost.
