Take Your Shot: How to Grow Your Business, Attract More Clients, and Make More Money Kindle Edition

by Robin Waite (Author), Dan Meredith (Foreword) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 913 ratings

Transform your business with this simple, proven method that has already worked for thousands of business owners.

If you run a client/service based business, exchanging time-for-money and not having much of either, then TAKE YOUR SHOT is the book for you.

TAKE YOUR SHOT is ultimately an answer to the question:

“How Can I Grow My Business, Attract More Clients, and Make More Money?”

TAKE YOUR SHOT is the story about Russ Hibbert. Russ is a hard worker, dedicated to his wife and children, and building a career as a golf professional. But one day he wakes up and realises his business is going nowhere. A chance meeting with a business coach, David, leads to a dramatic change and an opportunity, for Russ, to design the business that he always wanted.

TAKE YOUR SHOT will teach you:

“TAKE YOUR SHOT is a great easy to read book that contains some serious messages for anyone working hard at building a business. I came across a phrase many years ago which can apply to many self-employed individuals 'it's easy to become a busy fool'. Reading this book will stop you falling into that trap as the serious messages are about the importance of belief, aiming high, being brave creating systems and surrounding yourself with the right people. A very uplifting read as the reader follows the journey of the main character as he learns to work smarter and enjoy life again.”

Sandra Webber, High-Performance Coach and Author of Own It - Regain Control and Live Life on Your Terms

Review

Take Your Shot is a great, easy-to-read book that contains some serious messages for anyone working hard at building a business. I came across a phrase many years ago which can apply to many self-employed individuals "it's easy to become a busy fool." Reading this book will stop you falling into that trap as the serious messages are about the importance of belief, aiming high, being brave creating systems and surrounding yourself with the right people. A very uplifting read as the reader follows the journey of the main character as he learns to work smarter and enjoy life again.

Sandra Webber, High-Performance Coach and
Author of Own It - Regain Control and Live Life on Your Terms

Robin's book is so much better than the usual 'how to' publication. By telling a story based on a real business owner, he takes us on a journey that will resonate with readers no matter what industry they are in, no matter how small or large their enterprise.

The main character has a wise coach, David, who reminds us all to look at our business, not as it is but as it can be. If you are one of those business owners is always 'busy', this book will help you to investigate what you are busy doing and whether you are effectively working towards a goal that truly motivates you.

With a step by step approach that is easy to understand and implement, if you do what the book suggests, you will achieve the outstanding success you deserve.

David Tovey, Business Owner, Speaker and Author of Principled Selling - How to Win More Business Without Selling Your Soul.

What a book. Robin is a business coach extraordinaire and a fantastic human being, but he has outdone himself with this piece of genius. Unlike most business help books, this reads like a novel you can't put down. This isn't because it's crazy and out of this world, but instead because he describes the thoughts and actions of every business owner at their start or point of frustration in their business. The special thing about Robin and this book is that he looks at the business owner, not the business. He brings you on a journey where you can't help but have lightbulb moments. The only thing better for your business than this book is working with the man himself.

Michael Serwa - Coach for the Elite (michaelserwa.com)

Well... Robin has smashed it out the park (or off the green, if you prefer!) with his second book. It's a relatable story, which I'm sure will resonate with everyone. What I love is that Robin has picked out the key learnings about pricing and productisation, and weaved them into the story so that everyone can benefit. Fantastic.

What a brilliant read! I took this book on holiday and had to buy another one as I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. It was such a pleasant read that it really changed my perspective on my business. There was absolutely no fluff; it was straight to the point.

    This is one of the best books for new and current solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and businesses.
    Whether you are struggling to get your first client or scale your business to the next level of revenue, this book has all the information you need to achieve your business goals.

    The book keeps the reader interested and engaged because it is written in a storytelling format.
    It’s a relatively quick read with no unnecessary information and contains plenty of relevant and actionable strategies which you can start implementing right away.

    Despite the book being published in 2017, it has plenty of actionable advice which is still relevant in today’s world (e.g. the best pricing strategies for your business).

    The author, Robin Waite, also has a very helpful YouTube channel, website and LinkedIn page where he regularly uploads content related to succeeding in business and entrepreneurship.
    I recommend following his YouTube channel if you want to learn more successful strategies to get new clients and scale your business.

    I learnt a great deal of valuable and useful information from this book and it has helped me to successfully get more clients for my solopreneur business (I’m a freelance social media manager and digital marketer).

    I took a shot on this book and feel so happy I could dance on the table (even in dry January)... I have read other books that were marketed to help grow a business but often found them frustrating and irrelevant... finally a book that made sense for me that was easy to read (in one sitting with a hot chocolate) and positively impactful and motivating.

    As I've read along I've frantically highlighted and made notes as well as taken action ... I finally reached out to someone to pitch my product to and they said yes ... OK for clarity I am in the process of trying to change profession and I've reached out to offer my service for free in order to get the feedback I need but even that was a bit risky for me and was met with a positive outcome... BUY THIS BOOK and I think it might just change your life ...

    As someone at the beginning of setting up a business this book came along at the right time. The idea of packaging services and having a clear customer journey is something I can incorporate. My biggest fear, other than failure is working horrendous hours for very little income. They ideas in this book show how simple changes can ensure that doesn't happen. I would recommend this for anyone starting out and anyone who is stuck on the hamster wheel of running their own business. I liked the narrative style of the book, which made it easier to remember some of the tips and I read it really quickly too.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2017

    I have the kindle version AND a hard copy! Bought the hard copy so I could highlight my key learnings and reminders from the book.

    The book is written in story form (about a Golf Pro) in a way which any business owner will relate to. It is a stark reminder of the realities of being a business owner and the traps we can easily fall into if not careful, if not surrounded by the right team, the right clients, the right systems, the right message, the right products, pricing and wow factor.
    it reminds me of my favourite business quotes "No one ever wrote a business plan to be a busy fool".
    And "No one ever wrote a business plan to be fat, lazy, alone and broke"

    All in all, a great book to give your business and your mind a well needed MOT. It'll then re-ignite your desires about why you set up your business in the first place and what you need to do to actually enjoy it once again and receive the benefits/lifestyle you always wanted. You must take ACTION of course; doing no more than reading the book will not change your world. So read the book, and his other book too, and take action.

    I took a webinar given by the author and then bought the book. It was an excellent read, in the form of a story but got across all I needed to know about how to better structure my small business and change my pricing structure which meant upping my prices and creating packages. I was very reticent at first but it worked! I know that a lot of people at the webinar followed his advice and it worked for them too. He gave me confidence in my own worth as a professional. Thoroughly recommend it.

    Take Your Shot is a no-nonsense book with practical steps that can help anyone who is willing to put in the effort. Robin highlights the importance of creating actionable steps and developing realistic strategies that actually work. I gave the book 5 stars because I applied the steps as I read them, put it into action, re-evaluated where I had made mistakes, and since then I have seen massive improvements to how my business is received and sparking further interest. The book felt like a passion project that Robin set out to do, but I wonder if he knows the hope and joy he has inspired with his writing.

    I’d recommend this book for everyone - especially youngsters who want to get ahead of the game.

    Take Your Shot is life-defining!
