Purpose In Expenses“Finally! A Playbook That Works Online & Offline. Look, I’ve read tons of business books. Most are pure fluff. But Jeremy Shapiro’s Your Business Growth Playbook? This one delivers. Right from the start, Shapiro cuts through the BS with a simple truth: What got you to where you are today isn’t working as well. BOOM. That’s your plateau problem right there. What makes this different? Real examples. These aren’t made-up case studies. These are real results. Shapiro doesn’t just tell you WHAT to do – he shows you HOW. His “simple formula” (don’t worry, no complicated math) focuses on three core categories. Improve just ONE variable and you can boost revenue. Some improvements even increase profitability. The best part? He shares those golden nuggets entrepreneurs usually only whisper about behind closed doors. The “cross-pollination” strategies that actually move the needle. If you’re tired of business books that sound impressive but leave you wondering “Now what?” – this playbook gives you the answer. Just remember Shapiro’s warning: Ideas without action are worthless. You’ve got to actually implement this stuff.”
