In a world now filled with a seemingly endless litany of books, programs and courses professing to have the secret or missing ingredient to entrepreneurial success, James Fischer’s Navigating the Growth Curve stands out from the crowd. Fischer has crafted a refreshing tale of intrigue that focuses on a single business owner’s introduction to the titular growth curve. My mind is still reeling as I process all that I learned alongside my fellow business leader Peter as I process this insightful perspective on “building a profit-driven, people-centered, growth-smart company” and ponder both what to do next in my own business and how to incorporate this valuable model into my client work.

Fortunately, I went far enough down the rabbit hole when I discovered this book that I found my way to The ReWild Group, the current iteration of The Origin Institute that James Fischer cofounded, and now have access to additional resources to continue my exploration and experimentation.
