This book provides entrepreneurs with a clear, specific road map to successful business and growth management, explaining the vital details of techniques for executing changes in day-to-day business operations to handle rapid business growth.For many entrepreneurs, the transition from start-up to rapid growth is the most difficult and risky time for them and their companies. Failure to manage business growth occurs not because entrepreneurs choose the wrong growth strategy; it's because leaders and employees fail to execute the right internal strategies to scale up business operations to handle market success.This book explains how to overcome the two fundamental challenges facing successful entrepreneurs as their businesses grow: how to develop the efficiency, reliability, and cost control of a successful company given the common constraints of too little time and too few resources, such as money and people, and how to achieve these essential attributes of business performance without losing the entrepreneurial creativity and spirit that made them successful in the first place. Readers will learn why so many smart entrepreneurs fail in managing business success and growth, as well as how to change day-to-day leadership approaches and techniques in moving from fledgling start-up to the rapid growth stage that involves many more expectations from employees, customers, and investors. The book serves as a "how-to" guide for leading growth that demonstrates how to execute internal growth strategies to develop the needed flexible systems, performance measures, management techniques, and rewards and risk management strategies.

Between 2012 and 2014, the authors of this book met regularly on weekends to discuss the entrepreneurship scene in India and Kerala in particular. We swapped stories of the budding entrepreneurs, their struggles and successes. We worried about the disappointments, cheered the excitements and patiently waited for the turnarounds of the young men and women who had taken the plunge into the exhilarating environment of entrepreneurship. Over the course of several months, from what we saw firsthand, from what we heard and from what we read, it dawned on us that there is a pattern among the success stories. We began a more structured analysis to see if our hunch was correct. This book is the product of that investigation. We share our realization that more than luck or genius, it is the presence of certain habits that consistently lead to sustained success in the turbulent world of business startup. If you are already on the path to business success, the content will help you fine tune some of the habits. You can look at your own progress from a new perspective. If you have been thinking for a while to get going, let this book be the guide that assists you to acquire the right habits for Startup success. If you are student looking for a safe, salaried job upon graduating, we urge you to read through in order to understand how the business world operates and is fundamentally guided by the entrepreneurial spirit. If you have never thought of being an entrepreneur but have been merely curious, we hope to inspire you to give it a shot, again and again...

Combining emerging trends in collaboration, democratization, and urbanization, this book examines the emergence of entrepreneurship and innovation as a primarily urban phenomenon, explains why urban environments are rapidly attracting global innovators across three distinct forms of "urbanpreneurship," and lights the path forward for entrepreneurs, innovators, and city governments.The world is urbanizing rapidly. Currently, 600 cities account for 60 percent of the global economy; by 2025, it is predicted that the top 100 cities will account for 35 percent of the world's economy. Emerging trends in collaboration, the sharing economy, and innovation are opening up new opportunities for entrepreneurs in urban environments-"urbanpreneurs"-to participate in everything from tech startups in cities (instead of suburban tech parks) to makers and on-demand service providers to roles in civic entrepreneurship for those interested in solving the challenges that growing cities are facing. Readers of this book will understand how the converging trends of collaboration, democratization, and urbanization are rapidly attracting global innovators to cities capable of creating the enabling environment for aspiring innovators. The book discusses how entrepreneurs can best capitalize on the opportunities in urban settings, identifies what large and small cities can do to encourage more urbanpreneurship, and concludes with a consideration of the future of entrepreneurship in urban environments.

Customers are the lifeblood of any modern company but how do you go about capturing their business? Robert Lerner reaches back in time to the customer acquisition strategies of four of the most successful entrepreneurs of ancient Rome: -Eurysaces built an extensive bread making enterprise in the last few decades before the birth of Christ. -Eumachia played a significant role in ancient Pompeii's woolen trade. -Scaurus controlled nearly 30% of the Pompeian fish sauce market using innovative techniques to communicate the quality of his products to potential customers. -Atticus' successful banking activities, spanning decades of turmoil, uniquely demonstrate the importance of establishing strong client relationships. Based upon the marketing and promotional techniques of these four ancient entrepreneurs, this book provides powerful lessons in customer acquisition that survive the passage of time and apply across today's broad spectrum of digital communication techniques.
