Scale or Fail: How to Build Your Dream Team, Explode Your Growth, and Let Your Business Soar
Do you ever feel like you are stuck in the business Twilight Zone— where you are working harder than ever and spinning in circles while you can't seem to get your company to that elusive next level?
Scaling a business is not for the faint of heart. It's a mind-bending journey that causes millions of business owners around the globe to either throw in the towel—or avoid risk entirely and suffer from smallness and mediocrity.
Most of these businesses fail because they are ill prepared to face the real challenges involved in scaling. Either they don't have the bandwidth to keep up with the sales demand or production, miss out on major opportunities due to fear, or keep making the same mistakes over and over because systems and processes aren't in sync with the rate of growth.
Congratulations! You've reached a crucial—and exhilarating—point in your company's evolution. Scaling your business may seem like a terrifying leap, but it's essential if you hope to double, triple, or even 10X your revenue.
In Scale or Fail, author Allison Maslan—who has successfully scaled ten companies from scratch and has guided thousands of small businesses to do the same—shares her revolutionary SCALEit Method® for successfully growing, replicating, and expanding your business. She also shares pivotal mindset strategies she's used to break the fear barrier as a trapeze artist so you can move past any obstacle, take strategic Big Picture risks, and fulfill your dreams of business expansion and skyrocketing profit.
Featuring a wealth of real-life success stories, visual tools, and exercises that are prescriptive and inspirational, Scale or Fail offers proven strategies and a proactive approach to:
-Creating your Big Picture Vision and building a plan to achieve it
-Getting off the roller coaster and producing a consistent stream of cash flow
-Establishing a powerhouse dream team that functions well without you
-Developing systems that reduce errors so you can get your life back
-Becoming a true leader to create impact and leave your legacy
Whether your business specializes in manufacturing, consumer goods, brick and mortar, digital sales, wholesale, consulting, or anything in between, Scale or Fail provides a proven roadmap to scale your business, give you your life back—and empower you and your team to soar through the sky with the greatest of ease.

Was not very motivational in my opinion. There were good points about how to treat staff, but no real details on how to do it. She keeps saying ‘you need to show your team that you’re passionate’ but never actually gives tips on how to do so. This is common throughout the book, lots of cute sayings but no real advice on actually how to achieve it.
Also it seemed like a ad most of the time. ‘here, at my website, you NEED a coach to be successful’ and ‘at my seminar, that is ESSENTIAL, you can learn how to…’. I just wasn’t a huge fan.

Practical advice
Covers the basics of how to scale your company, with the most important is creating yourself time to think and lead the company, rather than micromanaging it.

Some very basic information and pretty common sense. It helps as a reminder and as a confirmation that you have the right tools to scale your business. The hardest part remains the implementation
