Building a successful business is more complex than ever in the 21st century, the five pillars: planning, marketing, systems, motivation and discipline are built on the foundation stones outlined in this book.
Greg Chapman gives you the business owner a real insight into each of these areas and begins the realisation that you should not be your business, but rather you should let go and enable your business to grow without you.
Leadership is more than management and using his advice your business can serve you, assist you to live a better and less stressful lifestyle, after all you are the one who has taken the risks, put in the hard work and created your dream, you deserve it.
I congratulate Greg on writing such a succinct book outlining the five pillars of business success because the next wave of productivity increases for Australia can be found by lifting the efficiency in the small business sector, there by making us more competitive in the global market of which we are part. The first step towards this grand goal is a book like this. I highly recommend it.

When I read The 5 Pillars of Guaranteed Business Success I was stunned – finally, a book that is clearly written by somebody who really understands what it’s like to be trapped in a small business, for people who are in small business. The book tells the story of an entrepreneur whose experience in small business echoes that of so many people in a similar situation – highly skilled, giving great service but frustrated, suffocated by working too hard, and believing that there must be a better way but not knowing what. The author skilfully weaves solid, down-to-earth business advice and explanations into that story.If you’re in a small business and feel that you could be doing much better, then this book is for you. I will certainly recommend it as required reading to my own clients who are just starting out in business.
