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.

I was looking for a title to give me general professional networking tips, and I found a title that inspired me to develop all aspects of my personal brand and business in a way that shows GOD I can multiply the talents HE'S entrusted to me.

I'm Glad I Picked This Up

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.

The narration was not fluid.

Since Dave has changed (and blessed) my life when it comes to handling and saving money, I also go to him when it comes to taking business advice. Duh, Dave is a successful businessman. I already incorporate many of Dave's money and leadership principles at my business (which is 3 years old). I feel like this is just the book I needed to get through the growing pains of scaling my business. I'm so thankful to Dave and his amazing team for helping me both personally (first) and professionally (second). I could not have launched my new business without his teachings.
