Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It…
A friend, Craig Wasilchak with Crushing B2B, gave me a copy of “Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It…and Why the Rest Don’t” to read as I work on my business. It was a great gift and a fantastic book!
There is a ton of information in the book that will help any business owner looking to continue their growth. That is kind of an understatement because this book in one that I wish I had read much sooner. It’s also going to be there as a quick reference guide on my desk for many years to come.
The thing that I like most about this book is there is instant value for any business owner on any level that wants to learn something. Any entrepreneur can learn a few things from this book that they could immediately implement into their business.

How to Drink Like a Writer
The initial chuckle an elder woman experiences arises when she glimpses the cover of “Senior Moments.” Packed with comics that resonate with and amuse individuals of a specific age, this book proves that laughter serves as a potent remedy. Reading through it is bound to contribute a couple of extra years to her life.
Want to get a notebook for someone that also needs a laugh?
I like having a little notebook around, even though the kids tell me that I can just use my phone.
I tell them that studies suggest that writing by hand can help you process information better and retain more than typing; which makes the book funny and practical for us old folks.
This portable 6″ x 9″ notebook, with 120 wide-ruled pages, goes anywhere with you.
This is one of those books slash gag gifts where you really need to know your audience; unless you’re the boss.
If you’re the boss, it is a hilarious weekly planner. This is a weekly planner and a gag gift, so keep that in mind before you buy it. Most of the negative online reviews had to do with expectations.
This weekly planner can help you with your schedule and provides a good weekly joke.
People that expect a good weekly planner with a little humor seem to really love it.
