Leap! 101 Ways to Grow Your Business

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!

I bought this book as I started a new venture after years of being in business. This time I was taking a idea I had and building a company based on a patent. So I heard about S. Chandler and her simple approach to the complex topic of starting and running a company. The book turned out to be a perfect review and easy read. One that as an experienced businessman I completely agreed with. But what made the book an even greater value was two things. 1. lots of relevant resources, that I still use today. 2. At the end of each chapter was a real life story of successful people in business and how they did it.This book is a must read for anyone in business or starting a business. GReat Value!

Stephanie Chandler is one of my favorite authors, she puts out books that are easy to read, easy to understand and that give you a clear outline of steps you can take to be successful. In her latest book "Leap! 101 Ways to Grow your business", Stephanie shares practical strategies, tools and techniques you can put into action to take your business to the next level. She has broken the book down into 4 easy components so that you can start where your business needs it, leverage, execute, accelerate and prosper. You choose where you are and what your vision is for your business and learn how you can develop a business-growth action plan, automate parts of your business, find business capital in this bad economy, identify your most powerful marketing strategies, utilize the internet, attract the media and boost profits.

My favorite how-to books are ones that focus on the what-to-do. Background information is all nice and well, but in the end, I want to know what I need to do to get results. LEAP! 101 Ways to Grow Your Business offers 101 nuggets of information you can use to leverage your time, take effective action, move your business forward and make money! The table of contents can be used as a checklist to go through and immediately start implementing the ideas! This is a great book for anyone who needs help on focusing what needs to be done in their business to get it up and running and growing!

As a source of no-nonsense, down-to-earth ideas that small business owners can really use, Stephanie Chandler never disappoints, and LEAP! is no exception. In this neat little package, she somehow manages to touch on all of the most important aspects of taking a business to the next level in today's wired world. But, equally important, she organizes the information in such a way that the reader is never overwhelmed, and can always easily zero in on information about a specific topic. Indeed, the beauty of the book is that you can digest it on an as-needed basis, just the bite-sized pieces most relevant at any given moment.But in its entirety, LEAP! is an amazingly thorough and very of-the-minute how-to manual, chockfull of case studies, highly targeted resources, and checklists, plus the benefit of Stephanie's own experiences in overcoming some of the more vexing challenges. Its content, combined with just the right tone to encourage and inspire, make LEAP! a must-have for any small business owner looking to grow a business.

A great book and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking for info on starting a business or to grow your business.--Sibyl White, author of How to Ditch the Corporate World and Rock Your Own
