NYC, NY/Dubai, UAE – Start-ups start out with big dreams: The entrepreneur has a great product or service that can deliver something of value. Eager to share this vision with the world, he or she launches the business and quickly becomes consumed by the day-to-day stresses of putting out fires, overseeing tasks and managing people. The dream has become a nightmare. What went wrong?
“When founders start a business, it’s because they have a great product or a great service. Very rarely do people get into business because of running a business. Those are two very distinct skills,” said business mentor Warsha Joshi. “So how do you set up and found a strong business that is scalable and sustainable?”
Dare to Scale: How to Grow Your Business Gracefully, by Joshi and her business partner (and husband) Evan Le Clus, details an effective framework to help owners of small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) break free from founder’s funk and pursue their dreams with renewed confidence — even amid today’s challenges in an ever-evolving global business climate.
Dare to Scale thoroughly explains the five elements that are critical to growing a business: strategy, business model, people, cashflow and operations, and the role each element plays in a business’s “Scalability Quotient.” The authors expertly simplify complex business concepts using relatable success stories, tips and easy-to-absorb information.
The result is a concise, actionable business handbook that walks readers through a holistic approach to growing a business, beginning with cultivating proven strategies and culminating in delivering great customer experiences. Dare to Scale can help readers reawaken their dreams, reinvent their businesses and reconnect with their chosen paths.
“SMEs are the life-blood of the economy,” Joshi said. “Your vision is achievable. Dare to Scale is a milestone book to enable business owners, entrepreneurs, founders — you — to dare to dream big and achieve those dreams.”
