About this listen

In Build a Business You Love, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Ramsey Solutions Founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey breaks down the system that took his business from a card table in his living room to a $250 million operation.

Business leaders face all kinds of challenges and fears as they work to grow their business. Dave Ramsey gets it—because he’s been there. Over the past 30 years, he and his team have taken some right (and plenty of wrong) turns as they worked to build his one-man financial counseling business into Ramsey Solutions, a $250 million company with over 1,000 team members. Now, Dave is sharing what he’s learned from walking through three decades of business growth—so you can grow your business faster with fewer missteps.

In Build a Business You Love, Dave lays out the EntreLeadership System, the road map that takes the guesswork out of growth for business owners like you. Because after more than a decade of helping leaders grow their businesses—and through direct experience with his own company—Dave has found that there are five distinct stages of growth every business has to conquer to reach its potential:

  • Stage 1: Treadmill Operator
  • Stage 2: Pathfinder
  • Stage 3: Trailblazer
  • Stage 4: Peak Performer
  • Stage 5: Legacy Builder

Throughout the book, Dave breaks down each of the stages and their unique challenges in detail to help you solve the right problems, at the right time, in the right way. You’ll learn how to navigate everything business ownership throws at you—from hiring the right people, to finding and training leaders, to creating and operating a budget, to nailing down strategic plans that get results, and more.

Build a Business You Love is the essential guide for business owners who want to grow their business the right way and leave a legacy they’re proud of.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The narration was not fluid.

I felt like the narration was done by AI or something. It was like Dave reading a text book. It wasn’t natural speaking. Nearly every sentence over emphasized some part.

I could tell a difference when he had some interjections that were not the same recording because they were easier to listen to and were natural speech.

Also, the book is about his business. Much of it was foreign to me in my stage of business.

Two chapters in and then suddenly reminded of why I went into business

I will write it forward with you later, but I am excited. I’ve been looking forward to this book.

Right as Ramsey

If you know Dave Ramsey than you... know Dave Ramsey and this book will be what you expect. If you don't know about him or what he stands for... settle in for a quick recap. He is the guy who a lot of people think is crazy cause he talks about maintaining no debt. This book is not about that. Anyone who owns a business... works in a business..or has ever considered it... this book is a great resource no matter if you think you need it or not. Many key points to consider re: the now of your game plan and the path of the future. While he is a Godly man and their are Christian references it is not shoved down the non believers throat. Any one in the higher ups of any company... THIS IS A MUST READ ( or listen).

Certain in times of uncertainty!!

As always, Dave’s principles are clear, concise, and encouraging. This is a great read for any business leader, no matter where you’re at… In fact, it’s a great way to analyze where you’re at and go from there. I will be taking these principles into practice. Thanks, Dave!

Truly helpful action steps to follow

As usual, Dave Ramsey gives us a blueprint to follow alongside a good dose of encouragement that only comes from having been there.
