Chapter One

Grow Is Not a Number

One sitting, twenty minutes, and do not open any software.

Chapter Two

You Already Paid for This

One sitting, about an hour, and you will need your own login and a phone.

Chapter Three

Both Reports Are Right

One sitting. Nothing to buy, nothing to install, nobody to hire.

Chapter Four

Access Comes With Conditions

One sitting. You are not building anything, and you should not let anybody build anything this week.

Chapter Five

What Did Not Match Is the Finding

One sitting, and you need the two exports from the previous chapter.

Chapter Six

Nobody Gave It Anything

One sitting. You need the outputs of chapters one through five, which is why this exercise is the cheapest one in the book and also the one you cannot skip ahead to.

Chapter Seven

A Happy Answer Is Not a Correct One

One sitting. You need the answer you produced in chapter six, and you must not have acted on it yet.

Chapter Eight

The System Does Not Decide

One sitting, plus one conversation. You need the answer you tested in chapter seven.

Chapter Nine

The Smallest Complete Thing

One sitting, and the output is one page.

Chapter Ten

What This Should Cost

One sitting, and you need at least one real proposal.

Chapter Eleven

If You Cannot Log In, You Do Not Own It

One sitting, about two hours, and you will need to actually log in to things rather than ask somebody whether you can.

Chapter Twelve

Your Best Explanation Is Not Written Down

One week of noticing, then one sitting.

Chapter Thirteen

Your Systems Never Held This

One afternoon. Nothing bought.

Back of the book

The five-line review

One row per stage. Mark what you can judge, what you could, and what you cannot.

Back of the book

The one-page brief

Seven lines. The discipline is that it stays one page.

What has changed since print

Product names, prices, what a given tier includes and where a setting lives will all move. The book keeps the durable part. The current part lives here, listed by chapter.

Nothing posted yet.
When something in the book goes out of date, the correction appears here with the chapter it belongs to.

The book

Fourteen chapters, one exercise each, using only what you already own. If this page reached you some other way, here is where to find it.

This book will not tell you what will happen to your business. Nobody has measured that, including the people who will tell you otherwise.

By Wolf Krammel, who has been building the things businesses actually run on since 1993.

If you want the work done rather than doing it yourself

The back of the book offers three ways forward, and only one of them is buying: do the next thing yourself, do nothing for a quarter on purpose, or buy help now that you can judge it.

Wolf's company, Future Growth Now, does the work the book describes. Get into the systems you already pay for, find out what they can and cannot answer, and build the smallest complete version of whatever comes next, with a baseline written down before it starts.

If you arrive with your five-line review filled in, you will have done the part that usually takes the first two meetings.

And if you never call, the book still worked.
