Business leaders face all kinds of challenges and fears as they work to grow their business. Dave Ramsey gets it—because he’s been there. Over the past 30 years, he and his team have taken some right (and plenty of wrong) turns as they worked to build his one-man financial counseling business into Ramsey Solutions, a $250 million company with over 1,000 team members. Now, Dave is sharing what he’s learned from walking through three decades of business growth—so you can grow your business faster with fewer missteps.

Because after more than a decade of helping leaders grow their businesses—and through direct experience with his own company—Dave has found that there are five distinct stages of growth every business has to conquer to reach its potential:

Stage 1: Treadmill OperatorStage 2: PathfinderStage 3: TrailblazerStage 4: Peak PerformerStage 5: Legacy Builder

Throughout the book, Dave breaks down each of the stages and their unique challenges in detail to help you solve the right problems, at the right time, in the right way. You’ll learn how to navigate everything business ownership throws at you—from hiring the right people, to finding and training leaders, to creating and operating a budget, to nailing down strategic plans that get results, and more.
