"The fundamental ideas that produce real market value and owner wealth today are based on the same 'habits' John D. Rockefeller employed to master the oil industry." So says the author of this book. During America's early oil-boom, tycoon John D. Rockefeller's disciplined approach to business replaced the helter-skelter methods of the original pioneering speculators. "These important disciplines need to be embraced by all companies that want to prosper in the upcoming decade," avers expert Harnish, founder of Gazelles, Inc. and creator of the Master of Business Dynamics program. His new book offers up the tools and habits Rockefeller implemented with such notable success.
Harnish is a man with a mission: to help entrepreneurs of emerging, fast-growth companies increase the value of their firms. He has spent nearly two decades working with the CEOs and executive teams of fast growth firms.
"Today's execs have little patience for anything except that which they can put to work immediately," says Harnish. "My program brings solid solutions to the challenges that come with building a company." Harnish's now-famous "Mastering a One Page Strategic Plan" process has been a best-selling article on the web. Now his new book from Select Books is a compilation of best practices adapted from some of the best-run firms on the planet.

From the publisher
Business guru Verne Harnish's firm Gazelles has brought hundreds of businesses to fast-growth profitability. Now he shares entrepreneurial secrets in this must-read business primer. Harnish has discovered John D. Rockefeller's underlying strategy. Further study uncovered three winning habits:
- Priorities: A few rules remain consistent with a firm's core values and long-term goal. Others change regularly - what Harnish calls the Top 5 and Top 1 of 5.
- Data: Key metrics should be measured over time (Smart Numbers); short-term metrics provide a tighter focus on an aspect of the business (Critical Numbers).
- Rhythm: A well-organized set of meetings keep everyone aligned and accountable.
In addition to case studies, a bonus chapter co-authored by Rich Russakoff reveals winning tactics to get banks in competition to finance your business venture. Mastering the Rockefeller Habits provides necessary tools for making strategically smart decisions and for keeping everyone aligned and accountable to those decisions.

Planning is everything. Our company used to be great at developing plans - we had grand plans, plans we'd worked on for months, and plans for our plans. We were planning experts. But we couldn't implement. Our plans sat in fancy binders and we pulled them out to look at them periodically, felt better because we had them, and couldn't figure out why things weren't happening like we'd planned.
Then we read Mastering the Rockefeller Habits. And we found we could actually implement the plans that we learned how to develop from the methods and techniques defined in the book. We now have plans that work. And our company has matured tremendously as an organization from following the book. I strongly recommend that any company, from young start-up to those more mature, read and implement the strategies in this book. It will change your world. |

For any entrepreneur who is planning on growing their company, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits is the one book to read. Use this as a manual, I have, and it has made all the difference in the world. It's practical, intelligent, and easy to read and follow. |

When I worked IN our business as salesman or technician I knew exactly what to do. When I wanted to work ON our business as President and CEO I was at a complete loss.
If you have a burning desire to grow your business, and become successful but like me, you don't know where to start, then you MUST READ Verne's book. If you are content with slow growth, or if you think you have already heard everything you need to know, then don't waste your time.
In the 6 years that I have been following the methods described in this book I have seen my business grow over 25,000%. From the outside that must sound too good to be true. However, if you want to see that kind of growth and you are willing to do the work required but you just don't know where to start, then pick up Verne's book and start practicing these habits. |

This book has helped my firm (a Raleigh, NC divorce law firm) make amazing changes. It's odd in a way because so much of what it encouraged by the book is such common sense. Things like better communication, more effective meetings, comprehensive planning, routine systems all seem like the things we would be doing without being told. Unfortunately we weren't doing these things and it took Verne Hamish to help make that clear. It seems like we aren't alone in letting the daily crisis interfere with the need to maintain basic systems to keep the business healthy. This book has helped us build our foundation for moving to the next level and continuing our success. |
