Go Do Deals offers practical, no-nonsense advice on buying and selling small businesses. Jeremy Harbour breaks down complex deal-making processes into actionable steps, emphasizing how to create wealth by focusing on acquisitions rather than organic growth. He shares techniques for finding deals, negotiating terms, and successfully closing transactions without needing large amounts of upfront capital.
Adam Coffey offers a deep dive into the world of private equity-backed business growth, focusing on how to scale a company with the support of private equity firms. The book provides practical strategies for entrepreneurs and business owners on how to structure operations, grow through acquisitions, and maximize the value of their businesses.
Good to Great explores why some companies make the leap from being average to exceptional. Jim Collins identifies key factors, such as disciplined leadership, a clear vision, and getting the right people in the right roles, that contribute to transforming a good company into a great one. The book is based on extensive research and provides a blueprint for building enduring, successful companies.
Blue Ocean Strategy introduces the concept of creating uncontested market spaces, or "blue oceans," rather than competing in crowded, saturated industries. The authors provide a systematic approach to innovation and differentiation, guiding businesses to move away from competition and create new demand by offering unique value. This strategy focuses on innovation as a way to escape the "red ocean" of intense rivalry and price wars.
Built to Sell is a guide for entrepreneurs on how to structure their business so that it can eventually be sold.

Buy Then Build advocates for acquiring existing businesses rather than starting from scratch. Walker Deibel explains why buying a business is often a faster, less risky path to entrepreneurial success. The book covers how to find the right acquisition targets, finance the purchase, and successfully grow the acquired business post-sale, making it an essential read for entrepreneurs looking to buy and scale companies.
The E-Myth Revisited explains why many small businesses fail due to owners working as technicians rather than entrepreneurs. Gerber emphasizes the importance of building systems that allow the business to run independently of the owner, focusing on working on the business, not just in it.
