Why do so many owners of mid-market companies chase bigger, only to end up further from the life they set out to build?
For decades, business books have urged owners to focus on growth. Yet for many, this undisciplined pursuit of more creates debt, complexity, and stress. What began as a dream of freedom becomes a business that drains their energy and pulls them off course.
In Bigger Isn't Better, Better Is Better, Brad Giles delivers a complete rethink of how owners build their companies. Drawing on 25 years of experience owning businesses and coaching owner-led companies, and having built over 1,000 strategic plans, he shows why focusing on building better teams, customers, offerings, and financials, then compounding these gains over time, creates stronger businesses and richer lives.
Through practical frameworks and 35 powerful questions, you will learn how to:
- Build loyal, high-performing teams that stay
- Win customers who trust, return, and advocate
- Create offerings competitors cannot copy
- Strengthen financials with discipline and resilience
- Live with greater freedom through a life created by design
Bigger Isn't Better, Better Is Better is the essential guide for owners who want to escape the pull of bigger, build a business that grows stronger every year, and reclaim the freedom to live the life they set out to create.
