If there is an “it” factor for books, this has it. The Growth Paradox book is truly one of the most engaging, powerful books on entrepreneurship, life and purpose that I have read, and I have read them all! It is personal, emotional, and practical and goes well beyond the “how-to” or war stories of most entrepreneurship books. This will be a must-read for all my students!

Reading The Growth Paradox was a truly transformative experience for me. As an entrepreneur facing the ups and downs of building my own business, it often feels like I’m on an island. But this book made me feel like I was not alone. The author’s stories and insights were relatable and inspiring, and the practical advice provided a roadmap for navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. If you’re an entrepreneur or thinking about starting your own business, this book is a must-read.

Wow! If you are a starting entrepreneur, this book hits you like a ton of bricks. Everything that was good enough to get here, is not going to be good enough to get to the next step. This book is exactly what every business owner needs to hear to get over the 3 million dollar hump. Highly motivating, and feels like someone is meeting you right where you are.

As a business owner for 20 years, I found “The Growth Paradox” insightful for the “real” and not always “intuitive” problems that I’ve experienced that were never taught in any school or college. It’s not only a roadmap in building a successful business (and team), but also exemplifies a “keep it real” philosophy which I believe most owners appreciate. I would recommend it to both new business owners as well as veterans who are struggling to achieve the type of success they deserve and want out of life.

If you’re looking to supercharge your passion-related battery and elevate your company’s success, this book is for you!

The Growth Paradox will help entrepreneurs steer clear of the mind-trash that is often allowed to happen in today’s small businesses. The lessons in this book are simple, authentic, and required learning for growth minded business owners.

If you own a SMB and want to break through that glass ceiling holding you back, the secrets are within you, as this astute guidebook points out. Straightforward, and relatable, The Growth Paradox will resonate through practical examples of failure and success expressed in an enjoyable story. Highly recommended.

It is clear that The Growth Paradox was written from the point of view of a business owner who has been in the trenches, made payroll and gets that things can get messy. There are many books out there written for consultants who have never actually run a business and the difference shows in the insight she provides her readers.

The Growth Paradox” is a highly recommended read for both novice and seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders. Author Jacky Fischer’s practical insights are a game-changer for anyone looking to achieve sustainable growth in their business. As someone who spends over 1000 hours a year helping CEOs and business owners navigate the challenges they face, I can confidently say that this book has the answers to most of those issues. The emphasis on staying true to your values, employees, and customers while still being able to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances is a valuable lesson for anyone looking to build a scalable business.

The Growth Paradox is excellent reading for potential entrepreneurs or anyone in the early stages of a business that is not yet running a well-oiled machine. This book is easy to read and chock full of practical considerations that come up while trying to grow a small business. Jacky walks through her struggles growing her company to over $50 million and I can attest that I had most of the same issues as I built a startup to over $100 million. Neither Jacky nor I knew what we were getting into at the beginning of our journeys. The reader of this book will know exactly what to expect and in some cases, may be discouraged from even starting a business when they find out how difficult it truly is.
