Throughout his career as a banker and business consultant, the author has witnessed numerous instances of businesses that were seemingly doing well. They were profitable and experiencing gradual growth, but the business owner suddenly sought rapid expansion, akin to the remarkable growth rates of well-known companies in the media. Driven by this desire, they embarked on efforts to grow their business, only to witness a sudden decline in profitability. As the business's profitability dwindled, it resorted to taking on debt to cover its expenses. However, this strategy eventually reached its limits, and the business found itself unable to secure additional debt. Consequently, it failed to pay its bills, resulting in a financial day of reckoning.

This unfortunate outcome need not be the norm. There exists a more effective approach to business growth that does not result in unprofitability. This is the purpose behind the author's writing of this book.

Growing a business without generating profits often leads to a short lifespan, with exceptions such as Uber and DoorDash. However, it is crucial to recognize the significant difference between a business with external investors (angel investors, private equity, and venture capital) and a typical small business entrepreneur attempting to bootstrap their venture. In the case of a business with a vast target market and rapid sales growth, external investors may be willing to support losses for a period, recognizing the potential for long-term success. This is not the case for entrepreneurs without external investors. Losses indicate that a business is operating on borrowed time, as once its capital is exhausted, there is no turning back. Profitability is essential for a business's survival and long-term viability.

In conclusion, the author's book offers valuable insights into growing a business without compromising profitability. By understanding the dynamics of external investors and the importance of profitability, entrepreneurs can navigate the challenges of business growth and achieve sustainable success.
