Reboot Your Business - A step-by-step guide to reinventing your business for maximum growth is written in three sections. The first challenges the SME business owner to consider their venture through the lens of the enormous change that is impacting us all today as progress gets faster and mediocrity gets left behind. The second is a guide to how to raise cash in order to execute a new plan and especially sources of FREE funding. The final section is a week by week programme aimed at making incremental improvements to the reader s business. Readers will also have access to a set of exclusive online tools. Generally, in life, if you start out at something like a sport, for example, you practise a lot, improve and get more competitive; you then start winning medals and ultimately have the opportunity to retire a champion. And that s how it used to be in business, but no more, alas! The fact is that the average business has less life in it than the average dog. Sadly, 80% of businesses fail within five years and of the 20% still standing, 80% of those statistically will fail in a further five years. As the more numerate amongst you will already have worked out, 20% of 20% is just 4% - yes, a measly 4% survive ten years. That's 96% failure. I mean, come on, these are precious entities that have tied up people's lives, cash, and dreams for years and they are just dropping like flies. It seems crazy, doesn't it? Why does it happen? How can you prevent it happening to your business? These are the two questions that this book sets out to answer, and if you can't answer these two questions as a business owner, then you may be steering your own ship at the moment, but ultimately you will be steering it as effectively as Captain Edward John Smith steered his. And he managed to drive the Titanic into an iceberg. Interestingly, the activity of organising the deck chairs on the Titanic as a strategy to try to calm passengers and remove their focus from the lack of lifeboats has become a famous metaphor for all activities with no real benefits. This is, however, the description that best sums up the groundhog-day way in which most leaders that I see are operating their ventures. This book inspires new thought and action so that readers can create a new and better future for both themselves and their businesses.

Product description

About the Author

Stephen left school with a few O Levels and a lot of unfulfilled potential and from that day he never worked for anyone else. He has travelled the world building export-led businesses, making over 100 foreign trips a year. He once negotiated a deal with a guy who had a Kalashnikov AK47 on his desk, and also won a bet with Sir Philip Green that resulted in him making a cup of tea for his father. Stephen s wife says he s not in touch with his feminine side, which Stephen finds bizarre given that they have four daughters! Stephen spends his time watching and commenting on innovative business funding trends and relaxes walking Barry, the family's pug.

This book really made me think! It was entertaining so didn't feel like a slog like so many of its genre and the points made were well founded. Most usefully I made some changes to what I do in my business as direct result of what I read and generated additional cash almost immediately.

I highly recommend this book to aspiring and established SME business leaders! Great affirmation that we're on the right track in lots of areas but you've provided many interesting avenues for us to improve on to add more value to our business, that we've not previously explored.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2021
This revised edition of “Reboot your Business” is as good a read as the previous edition, however, brought up to date, and is relevant for businesses of all sizes, and in different stages of growth. The ideas and suggestions are grounded, reliable and relevant.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overselling the book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2020
Received a blanket (junk) email to our business address with a link from Funding Nav (The company featuring this book):

"Stephen has also written a book on the subject called Reboot Your Business which is available from Amazon which contains a whole section on how businesses like yours can access free cash that you might like to read."

Wondering if this is a way of getting customers as our businsess is not going to bother!

A really insightful read! The funding section was especially useful for me as I have actioned some of the ideas and already made back my investment in the book about a hundred times over. I would highly recommend this book to any business owner.
