Decisions equal success - nothing happens until one is made. Businesses make millions of decisions every day. But once in a great while a leader makes a truly game-changing decision that shifts not only the strategy of a single company but how everyone does business. These big decisions are counterintuitive - they go against the conventional wisdom. In hindsight, taking a different direction may seem easy, but these bet-the-company moves involve drama, doubt, and high tension.

Story
The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan. It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic Good to Great, Jim Collins teaches listeners how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel’s momentum and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence.
Publisher's Summary
It's been over a decade since Verne Harnish's best-selling book Mastering the Rockefeller Habits was first released. Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It...and Why the Rest Don't is the first major revision of this business classic. In Scaling Up, Harnish and his team share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed from over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities (and weight) that come with scaling up a venture.
This book is written so everyone - from front line employees to senior executives - can get aligned in contributing to the growth of a firm. There's no reason to do it alone, yet many top leaders feel like they are the ones dragging the rest of the organization up the S-curve of growth. The goal of this book is to help you turn what feels like an anchor into wind at your back - creating a company where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money. To accomplish this, Scaling Up focuses on the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash.
The book includes a series of new one-page tools including the updated One-Page Strategic Plan and the Rockefeller Habits ChecklistTM, which more than 40,000 firms around the globe have used to scale their companies successfully - many to $1 billion and beyond. Running a business is ultimately about freedom. Scaling Up shows business leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync to create something significant and enjoy the ride. Bonus material for Scaling Up may be found at www.ScalingUp.com.

Excellent content, narrator difficult to follow
The content is unbeatable, although I think you'll need a hard copy of the book also in order to digest the numbers and visuals. Unfortunately, the narrator has a rather unnatural style, making him difficult to follow at times. Nevertheless, if you are on the move and into this topic, it's worth a listen.

You will still need a copy of the book. This version will provide a solid overview of the key themes however it can be difficult to picture the forms and outcomes unless you see the formats in the book.
All the examples are of larger businesses so be prepared to adapt some of the concepts for startups or smaller businesses.

It's good – but mostly for large companies
It's a good book. Dense and full of wisdom. Highly practical too – lots of worksheets to fill out.
It's mostly for companies 7-10 employees and up though. I can't help but wonder why there aren't more books written, targeting the solopreneurial startup phase: from 1 (you) to those 2-3 employees and up to the 8-12 employees where books like this one can take over, offering helpful advice for those stages.
Yes, there are plenty startup books with advice on how to select the best team members – but few that talk about the dangers of taking in/on those initial few employees: cashflow-wise, it can be a huge killer to any little business.
When should one hire the first employee – and what signs and pitfalls should one look for, in times of distress (bad cashflow for example)... And should one even hire ANY employees at all? Or rather find a solid business partner and a mentor, essentially making it a small company of three?What are the pros and cons of such a constellation?
Again: very few books seem to target this market and those vital questions. Without first finding the answers to them, and the challenges they represent; there's little need for a book like Scaling Up – many of us just aren't there yet.

Just what the doctor ordered
Would you listen to Scaling Up again? Why?
I will have to listen again but this time with a pen and paper ready to take notes.
Any additional comments?
This is the perfect book for business owners that have gotten over the "start-up" hurdle and are beginning to enjoy some success. It really gets specific on how to carefully grow your company as to avoid some common pitfalls...mainly running out of CASH!!! I have seen our company sales growing rapidly but could not figure out where all the cash was going. This book hit me right in the face! My problem was not sales it was cash flow!!! I now have several specific action items I went to work on immediately.

Literally Useless | No Way 5 Star Reviews are real
What disappointed you about Scaling Up?
This book is literally Useless. It has no meat. No real advice. It's filled with a string of unconnected thoughts, thin metaphors and anecdotal stories that barely scratch the surface of any real business issue. It's filled with useless phrases like "the first rule of money management is don't run out of money" and then it moves on to a completely separate thought like "business is like climbing everest...". It feels like it was written by a high school student. It's SOOO Bad.
What could Verne Harnish have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I wish he had done some first hand research, and/or had some first hand experience in business. It sounds like he's just regurgitating things he's heard from amateur entrepreneurs.
What aspect of Spencer Cannon’s performance would you have changed?
Performance was fine, content was mind-numbingly awful
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The first 3 chapters were literally Useless. The rest of the book was maybe 90% useless (if I'm totally honest)
Any additional comments?
Normally the reviews you find on audible are fairly reliable, but there is literally no possible way that the 5 Star Reviews on this book are real. They have to be faked becuase this book is seriously useless. The only way those 5 Star Reviews could be real is if they all came from people who have zero actual experience running a business and instead they thrive on pep-talks and spend their days dreaming about "one day I'll start a business..." but if you want real help scaling up a business, stay away from this book, you'll find nothing useful here.

Would you try another book from Verne Harnish and/or Spencer Cannon?
Sure, as long as there is a different narator
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Couldn't get past the naration
How could the performance have been better?
Hiring a human to narrate the book.
Did Scaling Up inspire you to do anything?

Any additional comments?
The narrator has this weird cadence, he starts low, goes high, then goes low again, long pause at each period, than starts again on the next sentence. The whole thing feels like he is reading a bullet point list, it is very taxing to listen to.

What did you like most about Scaling Up?
Its simplicity to follow and how easy to use some of the tools provided in the book and online.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
as its not a story book its not really the question - the logical way its presented that makes it easy to follow and use

You need to have a physical copy of the book to understand and see what the narrator is narrating.

Fantastic book
Couldn’t recommend it more highly if you’re looking to scale a business. Full of brilliant tools and insight that you can immediately put into practice.

Great book but poorly translated to audiobook.
Lots of references to diagrams etc. that just didn't exist in audio format! narration was poor too.

so-so
A few good ideas and lots of boring stuff and repetitions. Could be 30% shorter.
