A NEW BOOK BY LEWIS SCHIFF, CHAIRMAN
Swimming Lessons for Clayton
The Story of a Business Owner Who Was Drowning
Most business owners will never meet a mentor like Mr. Gi. In Swimming Lessons for Clayton, Mr. Gi appears when Indiana business owner, Clayton Thomas, needs him most.
During their friendship, Mr. Gi shows Clayton how to build a great business. As the reader discovers, Mr. Gi has a good reason for helping Clayton that goes beyond simple generosity — he reveals a connection between their two families that spans generations and continents.
"You are not failing, Clayton. You are winning the wrong game."
WHY LEWIS WROTE IT
"Who needs swimming lessons most of all? Someone who's drowning. Who has the least time for swimming lessons? Someone who's drowning."
— Lewis Schiff, Founder, Birthing of Giants
"This thing could be great. If I get it right, it will change my family's life forever. All the sacrifice will have been worth it."
The 6 Steps to a Bigger Business
We are post-exit entrepreneurs with a proven 6 Step Process that has helped hundreds of graduates build businesses that are more profitable, more valuable and easier to run.
"I often wonder, what does 'done' even look like?"
Here's What "Done" Could Look Like
- Build a business that's more valuable, more profitable and easier to run and you'll have more paths to choose from.
- The timing is crucial! Read our white paper "700 Days" about the mistakes sellers make before they sell.
- You've got a business that everyone wants to buy but you don't have to sell until you want to (if you ever do). And when you do, it's a clean exit.
After you've completed the 6 Steps to a Bigger Business, we know that founder-friendly capital is waiting to meet you. We've got them on speed dial.
WHY NOW
The window for building lasting value doesn't stay open forever.
The owners who act now — while the business has momentum — are the ones who look back and say it was worth it. The ones who wait often find the window has closed.
