About The Business Roadmap
When the author started his own company, he really believed in his idea, but lacked the business awareness to take his idea forward, firstly to investors and then to market.
After being sponsored by an investor to work with a business coach, he was able to understand aspects he had not previously considered, shape his business, the services and the go-to-market strategy, and the rest they say is history.
Now, 10 years after selling that business, he is committed to helping other entrepreneurs, just as that investor helped him.
The Business Roadmap, covers the 30 essential pillars of every successful business, structured in simple 30 x 5 minutes-to-read chapters; so you learn what to focus on for the day, in the time it takes to drink your morning coffee.
Having a Business Coach can often stretch beyond the budget, but with the insights from this easy to follow guide, you can become investor and go-to-market ready, in just 30 days.
The Business Roadmap
You (Business Owner) / The Passenger
As the business owner, you are comparable to the passenger.
It is crucial to know if you are ready for your taxi to arrive, and if not, then get ready before you start your journey.
This guide is designed to keep everything simple and remove any business jargon.
To help visualise the journey ahead, we draw parallels between running your business and taking a ride in a taxi down a steep twisty road.
Your sales and marketing strategy determines the manner in which you will travel.
Without a well-defined strategy, you might find your taxi ride was more expensive than you had planned, or it might only take you half the way freewheeling downhill and out of control.
Business Growth / The Route You Take
As in a taxi ride, you need to have a clear destination in mind for your business.
Without a defined objective/destination it is impossible to know how you will get there, or if you have arrived.
Business Futures / Your Destination
Your business's current condition mirrors the taxi condition that will take you on your journey.
Is it capable of taking you as far as you want to go? Are you equipped to navigate the challenges and bumps in the road ahead?
Business Present / Your Vehicle
The Business Leader / The Taxi Driver
As the business leader, you are both the passenger and the taxi driver. You are responsible for steering the business, making decisions, and ensuring a safe successful journey.
Accountability rests squarely on your shoulders.
Customer Reviews
The concept of daily, bite size chapters that you can read whilst the kettle boils, but think about all day, is superb.
Every budding or semi experienced businessperson should read this.
Anon - Kindle Reader

This is a great primer for new business owners of all the things you think you’ve thought of (but probably haven’t!) and for existing business owners of all the things you should be doing (but probably aren’t).
