New Book from AskMyBoard Founder, Scale Up Faster, Uncovers What the Fastest-Growing Bootstrapped Companies Do Differently—And Why Most Business Advice Falls Short

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--What if the real secret to scaling fast wasn’t venture funding, viral marketing, or 100-hour weeks—but mastering a few unsexy fundamentals?

"What makes Scale Up Faster a great book is its unwavering focus on practicality and real-world application.” Gino Wickman, Author of Traction & Shine

In Scale Up Faster: Secrets of the Quickest-Growing Bootstrapped Companies (Inc. Original Publishing), serial entrepreneur and growth strategist Pete Martin reveals how 324 of America’s fastest-growing companies scaled with no outside capital—and how you can, too.

Backed by three years of research and 90+ CEO interviews, Scale Up Faster dissects what truly works to grow a business quickly and profitably - based on data, not dogma.

“These founders weren’t chasing hype or unicorn status,” says Martin. “They were doing smart, proven things consistently—and crushing growth without giving up control.”

The book features insights from top-performing CEOs on the Inc. 5000 who grew an average of 169% per year over four years, and it distills their playbooks into practical frameworks any founder can use.

Endorsed by business legends like Verne Harnish (Scaling Up), Gino Wickman (Traction), Michael Gerber (The E-Myth), John Warrillow (Built to Sell), and Bo Burlingham (Small Giants), Scale Up Faster details how they did it through;

  • “Lighthouse Positioning” to command premium prices and dominate crowded markets.
  • A single lead generation channel strategy that drives compounding growth.
  • Hiring systems like the Ideal Employee Profile (IEP) to build a team that scales with you.
  • A culture of cash consciousness to self-fund explosive growth.
  • Proven ways to build customer communities that create raving fans and referrals

This is THE playbook for founders who want to scale smart, stay in control, and build something that lasts.

Verne Harnish said this, “Scale Up Faster is not a compilation of generic business advice. It’s a treasure trove of battle-tested strategies for entrepreneurs who yearn to break free from the pack. The stories within these pages are not just narratives of success; they are blueprints for anyone who dares to dream big enough to pursue those dreams with unwavering tenacity.”
