Why Most Business Books Don’t Change Your Business (And How This One Will)
Ann Franzese Bourne
Helping high-achieving business owners scale smarter—through strategy, leadership, and systems that create freedom.
How many times have you read a business book, felt inspired, and then… nothing really changed? The ideas were good. The stories were powerful. But when you closed the book, your day-to-day looked exactly the same.
Here’s the truth: 📘 Reading is not the same as applying. And inspiration without action doesn’t build a business.
That’s why we created the Entrepreneurial Edge Book Club.
This isn’t about adding another book to your shelf. It’s about taking a proven framework—Donald Miller’s How to Grow Your Small Business—and actually putting it to work inside your business.
What Makes This Different
In just 4 weeks, we’ll walk through Miller’s 6-step framework together and apply it directly to your business. Instead of “nice ideas” that fade by Monday, you’ll walk away with:
✅ A clarified vision and mission that your team can rally around
✅ A simple, clear marketing funnel that attracts the right clients
✅ Offers that sell—without constant reinvention
✅ Systems that free you up to lead instead of firefight
And because this is a working book club, you’ll have live sessions, guided tools, and accountability to actually implement.
Why Now
We’re halfway through the year. Which means you have two choices: 👉 Keep running with the same habits and hope it all adds up. 👉 Or, realign now so you finish the year stronger—with clarity, focus, and momentum.
