Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

Must read for any business owner or leadership team
- By Rhyn D. Nasser on 22-12-2016
Publisher's Summary
Here is the second edition of the best-selling, number-one-rated business book Making Money Is Killing Your Business, which has transformed lives and businesses worldwide. Includes:
- You're too busy making money - no business can survive that
- Build a business that makes money while you're on vacation
- Get a grip on why businesses never grow up and how yours can
- Move your business from survival through success to significance
- Grow a business quickly that you can enjoy for decades
The second edition of Making Money Is Killing Your Business is built on profoundly simple ideas that have been around forever and ignored as being too simple to work. Chuck Blakeman has learned the hard way that profound things are always simple. Four Building Blocks, Seven Stages of Business Ownership, Business Owner's Game, Freedom Mapping, Strategic Plan, Lifetime Goals and many other practical tools will revolutionize any business willing to give up complexity for effectiveness.
Making Money helps business owners move from a focus on trying to make money to building a business that does it for them when they are not around. It debunks the idea that small business is a 30-year grind and introduces the concept of building a business in just three to five years that runs itself.
Making Money also replaces the traditional concept of retirement with using your business to quickly build your ideal lifestyle, moving you and your business from survival through success to significance.
Your business should produce both time and money, not just money. This book helps business owners make more money in less time, get back to the passion that brought them into business in the first place, and build a business they can enjoy for decades.
Do you want to get off the treadmill? Listen to Making Money Is Killing Your Business and build a business you'll love!

Good points but very laborious
Lots good points but very laborious and time consuming. Author takes a long time to make his points. Could be half the time.
I dislike that the chapters don’t have headings - so you have to trawl through hours and hours to find relevant content.

Eye opening with no fluff
Really good information, some of which challenged my thinking and ways of doing business. No fluff, just really sound suggestions. I will buy the workbook/book now because there are exercises that I want to do that didn't translate in the audiobook well enough for me to implement them.
I would listen to this again, though, to keep my thoughts focuses on the right areas for growth. Thanks, Chuck.

Nice idea, but over simplified
As other business experts will tell you, the best way to amplify your efforts is to hire a team of people to allow you to work on what you do best. The problem, is that this book (along with many others), make hiring these people sound as easy as picking a snack from a vending machine. As a business owner for almost the last two decades, assembling a team of qualified and motivated people is harder than anything! On another note, I did like the chapter on strategic planning.

Fantastic— stop playing office!! GET MOVING
Chuck the author hit in on the spot wit his term, “your just playing office”.
Us entrepreneurs listen to books, watch webinars and go to seminars for some type of silver bullet to fix our business.
While this book could be another example of that learning but not doing loop I and so many other business people do. It is not. It is the one book that I actually stopped reading because chuck told me that if your up to this point in the book and didn’t do the exercises your just playing office.
Funny but brutally honest way to look at procrastination.
I stopped, did the exercises and now have finished the book but not the exercises.
I’m looking forward to joining my local 3to5 group to master mind and move forward!

An excellent book on business
As a wanna be businessperson I was deeply challenged by the principles presented by Chuck. I especially like the thinking behind the business business profile and the balance one must create to succeed. Acting into anew way of thinking and the ‘bad plan’ are new concepts that just get me going. I would recommend this to any business owner, aspiring and otherwise. Thanks Chuck
