Growing a startup from nothing is nearly impossible. In his new book, "Full-Scale: How to Grow Any Startup Without a Plan or a Clue", Anthony W. Richardson turns the growth process into a scientific theory by outlining the exact methodology that has used with every client he has had over the past 10 years.Many experts agree that the majority of startups fail because they run out of money, but isn't that a symptom of how it's spent? In the book, Richardson lays out his formulaic equation on how to decide what to spend your resources and compares it against the most valuable pieces of a startup: Time, Money, Growth and Data to create a data-driven framework for evaluating and executing marketing concepts. It is said as many as 95% of startups fail and yet 83% of Anthony's total clients are either still in business or have already been acquired."Full-Scale" is a book that you can read straight through or use as a step-by-step guide for your startup's growth. Inside you will learn not only how to grow your startup better, but also how to validate everything you're doing, including the choices that you've made with a numerical and data-backed foundation. The hard work has already been done for you. After reading this book you will learn why "Data Levels All Arguments", why you should always "Kill Failures", only "Scale Successes", how the startup marketing process is like the film "Groundhog Day" and finally, a greater understanding of why marketing should provoke change in all areas of the startup process as a whole. Unlike other books in the space, you won't find current strategies or case studies, but a new, timeless understanding that applies to your exact situation.Richardson's scientific methodology and "beginners are welcome" writing style should be a welcome addition to both the new and seasoned members of the startup marketing community.
