About this ebook
Daily emergencies sideline dreams. A thoughtful, strategic playbook turns them into reality.
Follow Anthony and Ricki’s transformative journey from overwhelmed auto shop owners to strategic business leaders as they use a game-changing approach to reclaim their vision and passion and create a truly flourishing enterprise.
When athletes-turned-entrepreneurs Anthony and Ricki check into a quaint coastal bed-and-breakfast for a short getaway from the stressful operations of their auto shop, they find themselves in the company of a former football coach whose unconventional wisdom completely transforms their approach to leadership. Through muddy hiking trails, choppy boat rides, and late-night conversations on the porch, they discover that the principles of athletic success hold the key to rescuing their drowning business.
Accelerate takes you alongside this relatable, charming couple as they learn to build their own business “playbook,” which is comprised of five critical phases that will change everything about how they operate: Analyze, Strategize, Organize, Prioritize, and Systemize. A messy hiking detour is an opportunity to learn the power of a strong strategy amid obstacles; a yacht captain’s pre-launch checklist reveals the secret to proper business prioritization; a simple napkin drawing at the dinner table challenges traditional approaches to decision-making. Anthony and Ricki’s thoughtful journey reveals timeless wisdom about leadership and management that any business leader can apply immediately to their own challenges.
Through relatable characters and memorable stories, Accelerate delivers profound business lessons that will stick with you long after the last page. Discover how a coach’s wisdom can help you build a business that thrives—without sacrificing the dreams that made you start it in the first place.
