Book review 2: Your Business Growth Playbook

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!
​
Without false modesty — I know my stuff.

Executive roles, HR transformations, team architecture, leadership coaching. I’ve spent 15 years helping organizations build cultures that actually move the needle on revenue, costs, and performance. That’s my domain, and I’m confident in it.

But running and growing my own business? Still learning. From every valuable source I can find. Just like Jeremy’s award-winning book, Your Business Growth Playbook: Breakthrough Strategies to Scale Your Business for Business Owners Who’ve Outgrown Hustle.

Being excellent at the work and knowing how to grow the business around it are totally different skills. Jeremy Shapiro wrote his book for the established business owner who's already built something and hit a ceiling that more hours won't fix.

The book centers on three levers every business can pull to scale: getting more of the right customers, increasing what they spend, and improving when and how often they buy.

If you read my book CLICKING, you know I love practical tips, checklists, and applicable frameworks. And Jaramy’s book has it all. Practical, sequenced, built for people who need a clearer framework for where to focus — not more motivation to try harder.

It’s part of a Kindle Flash Sale running April 20–23—fifty-plus books dropping to $0.99, no opt-in required.

If you’re an expert in your field and still figuring out the business side — this one’s for you.

Hi Reader! "I'm not a creative person."I hear this a lot from the leaders I work with. Smart, experienced, capable people — who have somehow decided that creativity is a trait they weren't given.And I get it. Most of us grew up being sorted: the artistic kids and everyone else. If you couldn't draw, you were filed under "not creative," and that was that.But the more I learn about creativity, the more I realize that it has nothing to do with drawing. (or at least drawing is just one side of...

Hi Reader! I have some news to share — and I felt really grateful and emotional when I got it. My book CLICKING has been honored with the Outstanding Literary Achievement Award from the International Impact Book Awards 2026 in the Leadership – People Management & Team Leadership category. When I wrote this book, I was thinking about one specific person: the leader who is doing too much, carrying too much, and wondering why the team still can't run without them. The one who genuinely cares...

Hi Reader! According to MIT's State of AI in Business 2025 report, 80% of organizations are already using AI. And yet 95% are getting zero return on investment. I've been sitting with that number since November, when I started interviewing HR executives to understand what's actually happening inside organizations navigating AI transformation. Fifteen-plus conversations later — leaders across tech, financial services, healthcare, payroll, insurance, organizations from 150 to 220,000 employees...
