Company of One

This book challenges the assumption that every healthy company should pursue maximum size. It is particularly useful for founders seeking independence, profitability, control, and a sustainable livelihood rather than outside investment and aggressive expansion.

Readers learn to define what “enough” means, protect margins, maintain strong customer relationships, use technology intelligently, and grow only when growth improves the business and the founder’s objectives. Mentors can use it to avoid imposing a high-growth model on entrepreneurs who want a strong, durable, owner-controlled company.
