Scale at Speed: How to Triple the Size of Your Business and Build a Superstar Team

This book is concise, useful, clear and comprehensive. I tend to approach growth formula or scaling business books with skepticism, because I’ve read too many bad ones. This won me over because what it said that I already knew was spot on, what I’d forgotten was what I needed to remember and the new things to me rang true.

Having worked with marketing and digital businesses that have gone through the 2Y3X programme, I know that Felix's approach works, and I was keen to see how it was done. This book generously shares his practical step-by-step blueprint for scaling service businesses. You might have to ask tough questions and do things differently, but the payoff will be worth it.

I love this book. If you're a business owner or team leader, I really recommend it. It breaks down step-by-step how to create a 3-year plan that you and the team are excited by. Alex shows you how to create a core team-within-a-team, who are responsible for taking ownership over moving things forward. It's a really interesting way to make sure the business goals are owned by everyone, and not just the one or two people at the top. This is a great book to read if you're stuck on how to set business-wide goals, or if you find you're setting goals without a clear action plan to achieving them.

I have run my agency for about 15 years and its fair to say that it not where I would like it to be. This book feels like it could unlock the latent potential that lies hidden. It an enormously exciting read because it starts to make the transformational journey seem possible. Don't get me wrong its not a quick fix. Its full of practical advice that demands organisation and commitment. But at the end of the book I had a clear idea of what the road ahead looks like and a taste of what it would feel like running a business and a team that is optimised for growth. Clearly the next couple of years are going to be very busy indeed.

I raced through this book in hours as I was fascinated at how a relatively simple format could provide a clear route to scaling. I've worked in businesses that operate hand to mouth, that can barely see the wood for the trees, and only focus on the next revenue hit rather than setting and sticking to a plan. Its chaos and leads nowhere. What Felix Velarde has created here is a super accessible model to implement in your business - bringing your top talent on the journey and creating and breaking down a 3 year strategy into a series of short term outcomes that will build your company through sustained focus. It's well structured, logical, and delivered with brains and heart.

Any entrepreneur who wishes to take their creative business to the next level would do well to read this book.

I have read many books on business domain. They enlist good techniques but seem to lack some key step(s) in how to actually perform the 'doing'. This is a dream book for a business architect. Contains the entire technical strategical plan encapsulating key pillars that run through as a golden thread through the fabric of the pillars that hold internal and external growth to be sustainable. Its a must have for any business visionary or leader.

If you're highly experienced then this book offers the most succinct way of rounding up all the important business lessons you've learned but mislaid over time and enables you to reach for them easily and transfer them into fresh results. If you're not experienced then this advice is like discovering buried treasure. Read it, use it and if you're smart get 2Y3Xer on board!

This book is so epic, every business owner should read it. If there's any specific thing I could add by reviewing this book I would say that it's particularly perfect if you're a small business owner who has gained some traction already, built up a small staff, sales are going strong, and you're starting to think about an exit. You hear these big multipliers people are getting and you're starting to think retiring on an island sounds good. This book gives the sometimes hard advice that in order to scale big and sell for a big multiplier all the ducks you need to have in a row. Now that I think about it, I wish I had understood this stuff the day I started my business not so many years later so I recommend this book highly to any business owner, manager, or even business school student.
