Having followed Stu's work for several years, initially drawn in by his earlier book and drawings, I connected with him on LinkedIn and am a total fan. I actually had the privilege of reading an advance copy of "How to Grow Your Business Like a Weed" and was immediately captivated by the book's innovative approach and Stu's inspiring treatment of it.
I actually keep an additional copy on my iPad, revisiting passages frequently for inspiration in my own business (podcasting). "How to Grow Your Business Like a Weed" offers invaluable insights and strategies that continue to inspire me.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking rapid, and sustainable growth, in their business ventures. Stu's wisdom and expertise shine through on every page, making it an essential read for entrepreneurs and business owners alike. Grow your business like a weed!

What Weeds Want Us to Know
|

|
|
|---|---|---|
Deal With What IsWith free will comes the power to imagine things that don’t yet exist. That can lead to innovation, but also to false expectations and entitlements, which then lead to downfall. Growing like a weed requires a clear picture of reality, rather than a skewed sense of what we’re owed or hoped would be. The weeds are telling us, “Get off it. Face what you don’t want to face and directly meet your challenges.” |
Be the Whole WeedLater in the book, you’ll be introduced to the weed mindset, the W.E.E.D.S. model, and scaling like a weed. These are the three legs of weed strategy, a stable tripod that only falls if one leg is missing or weak. Being the whole weed means living the weed mindset, executing the W.E.E.D.S. model, and establishing collective scale. This is not an easy thing to do. The W.E.E.D.S. model, for instance, includes eight levels of strategic focus. |
Move Ten Times Faster than Your Competitors . . .Interestingly, weeds are showing us how to move quickly while maintaining an element of stealth. In their playbook, winning is rooted in running your process as urgently and aggressively as possible. You’re moving ten times faster than your competitor, but from the outside, it just looks like you’re just doing what you normally do. No apparent movement, yet lots of progress. |

The most thought-provoking book on business growth since Blue Ocean Strategy
The short review: This is the best business growth book since Blue Ocean Strategy that I've read in the last decade. It surpasses it in my opinion.The longer review: Stu Heineck's book is the first book in a long time that really made me sit down and completely rethink business growth. His W.E.E.D.S. model is a brilliant 8 step strategic framework for growing your business, and it's masterfully taught in this book.Stu's writing style is engaging, and he knows how to weave in the right stories at the right time to illuminate his points and help you apply them.This isn't a book you'll just read. Already, based on my experience, this is a book you'll study and refer to time and time again. I take new notes each time I refer to it, and I continue to find new ways to apply his Weed Strategy in my business.Personally, I read a lot of books and I review very few, but this one compelled me to leave a much deserved review.I'll never look at weeds the same way again, and I'll forever be anchored to Stu's "Weed Strategy for Unstoppable Growth."Stu, thank you for writing this book!

Any book that mentions Schumpeter, Marx, and Clayton Christensen in the same sentence is going to be interesting.
I've always been interested in how man mimics nature. We look to birds to design planes. Architects examine beehives and ant colonies. And entrepreneurs look at...weeds?
At first, you might think that doesn't make sense, but that's just because you've been trained to not like weeds. Once you start to appreciate their resilience, methods of propogation, and adaptability, you might find the humble weed has something important to teach business builders about how startups grow and thrive.
