Inside the book
Thirteen chapters. Twelve decisions. Two ladders.
Chapter 1 explains why busy is not growing. Chapters 2 to 13 each ask for one decision, and a template closes every chapter.
Busy but not growing (Chapter 1)
Why hard work, courses and experience often stop adding up to growth. Activity is what you do. Growth is what changes because of it.
Decision 1: Who are we, and for whom? (Chapter 2)
Narrower than feels comfortable. A clear “for whom” beats a long list of services.
Decision 2: Where do we actually stand? (Chapter 3)
Place the business on the seven-stage Growth Stage Ladder and the Growth Fit Profile.
Decision 3: Which channels, and which to ignore? (Chapter 4)
One or two, chosen by where customers decide, not where others post.
Decision 4: No-cost or paid, and when? (Chapter 5)
Prove the message first, then pay only to amplify what already converts, with stop rules.
Decision 5: How does a stranger become a customer? (Chapter 6)
Design the path before filling it with people: funnels, bridges and lead follow-up.
Decision 6: How do conversations become sales? (Chapter 7)
Follow-up is a system with an owner, not a mood, and a CRM is bought when it pays for itself.
Decision 7: Build, buy or hire? (Chapter 8)
Buy tools last. First the process, then the person, then the system.
Decision 8: How much AI, where and when? (Chapter 9)
Start at the stage you are in. Raise AI’s freedom on evidence, up the five-level AI Use Ladder.
Decision 9: When may AI speak to customers? (Chapter 10)
When a person can always be reached and the customer knows who they are talking to, including AI chat and calling agents.
Decision 10: When do we scale, and when do we stop? (Chapter 11)
Scale what is proven. Stop by rule, not by mood.
Decision 11: How do we know it’s working? (Chapter 12)
A few numbers that trigger decisions, read on a fixed day.
Decision 12: What must never be traded for growth? (Chapter 13)
Trust: honest claims, real reviews and consent.
Who it is for
Built for people who are busy but not growing
Many people have done the courses and work hard every day, yet the business stays where it was. What is missing is a small number of decisions nobody asked them to make. This guide sets them out, in order, for every stage from start to enterprise.
- Business owners and founders
- Marketers and freelancers
- Coaches and consultants
- Sales and growth teams
- Leaders of larger organisations
Good to know
The examples are composites. The book promises no income, sales, jobs or results, and it is not legal or financial advice. Laws and rules described in it were checked in November 2026 and change over time.
FAQ
Questions about Grow With AI
What is Grow With AI about?
It is a business growth guide for the AI era. It sets out twelve decisions, in order, that turn activity into growth, from the first day of a business to the day it becomes an institution, with two ladders to show where a business stands.
Who is it for?
Business owners, founders, marketers, freelancers, coaches, sales and growth teams, and leaders of larger organisations who need to see growth as a system.
What are the twelve decisions?
Who we are and for whom, where we stand, which channels, no-cost or paid, how a stranger becomes a customer, how conversations become sales, build, buy or hire, how much AI, when AI may speak to customers, when to scale and when to stop, how we know it is working, and what must never be traded for growth.
What is the Growth Stage Ladder?
Seven stages, from 0 to 6: Define, Present, Visible, Capture, Convert, Scale and Compound. A business moves up only when the stage below holds.
How much AI should a business use?
It depends on the stage. The AI Use Ladder has five levels: Generate, Workflow, Automate, Agent and Agentic system. AI moves up a level only on evidence that the level below helps the business.
Does it recommend specific tools or platforms?
No. It names no AI tools, apps or platforms on purpose, and describes channels by type, because tools change every few months and the decisions do not.
Does it cover advertising?
Yes. Decision 4 covers when to rely on no-cost channels and when to pay for advertising, with stop rules.
Does it promise income, sales or results?
No. What each reader achieves depends on their own business, effort and circumstances.
Can I use the templates?
Yes. The templates in the book may be copied for your own use and for teaching.
