Why I Wrote This Book
Simple, profitable
small businesses
are built on strong foundations.
After working with hundreds of small business owners over the years,
I noticed something.
Most weren't failing because they lacked passion, worked too little
or didn't care enough.
They were struggling because they were trying to build a small business
without first building strong foundations.
Instead of fixing the real problems, they were constantly band-aiding cracks.
That's why I wrote The Five Little Business Pigs.
To give owners a practical, easy-to-understand guide to rebuilding their small
foundations which was enjoyable to read and easy to apply.
Because I believe every owner
deserves a
simple, profitable small business they actually love π©·.
How Many Roles Are You Playing Today?
Running a small business means undertaking more roles than you ever expected.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone.
I call people like this Chief Everything Owners.
This book will help you stop doing everything and start rebuilding a small business that doesn't rely on you for everything.
I ordered The Five Little Business Pigs and it arrived with a sincere message inside the front cover!
I immediately knew I had a book that was going to give me a fresh, engaging take on small business success, something practical yet enjoyable and easy to read.
The book's insights on financial stability, strategic planning, and resilience really hit home, reinforcing the importance of getting the fundamentals right before scaling.
Part 3, Foundations for Success, was a game-changer for me.
It laid out the essentials in a way that was easy to understand and immediately actionable through tips and tricks and numerous resources.
Since applying some of the lessons from this book, Iβve noticed a positive shift in how I approach my business. Itβs helped me refine my processes, strengthen my business fundamentals, and feel more assured in my long-term strategy.
The Five Little Business Pigs offers practical insights, tools, and case studies that any business owner can benefit from, and Iβd recommend it to anyone looking to build a more sustainable small business.

Each pig represents a different type of small business owner.
As you read the book, you'll probably recognise yourself... and maybe a few people you know.
More importantly, you'll discover what each pig can teach you about building stronger small business foundations.
Beware the Wolves...
πΊ The Word "Yes"
πΊ Cash Flow
πΊ Staff
πΊ Technology
πΊ Time
πΊ Negativity
Every small business owner faces Wolves β sometimes every day.
They come in different shapes. They arrive at different times.
And they're constantly huffing and puffing, trying to blow your small business downβ¦
Cash flow, staff, inconsistency, poor systems, overwhelm, time pressures, unexpected setbacks β the list goes on.
But the Wolves aren't the problem because they don't disappear.
The difference is whether your foundations are strong enough to withstand them.
This book will show you how to strengthen your small business so the wolves don't keep blowing it down.
Because when your small business is built on strong foundations...
they lose their power.
Since coming across this book, we've integrated it as part of our induction process.
We speak the lingo and continually hold conversations with staff around what our next focus bricks are, and how we can build a successful small business together.
The content is powerful and I'm sure it will help everyone identify their Wolves!

More Than Just a Fairy Tale
At first glance, The Five Little Business Pigs might look like a simple fairy tale. But behind every pig, every wolf and every brick is a practical lesson about building a stronger small business.
The stories are simple. The lessons are powerful.
And the strategies are just as relevant today as they were ten years ago.
Whether you're just starting out or rebuilding after years in business, you'll discover practical ideas you can apply straight away.
Because rebuilding a small business doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs strong foundations.
Ten Years Later...
It's hard to believe this little book is celebrating its 10th Anniversary.
Over the past decade, the small business world has changed dramatically.
Technology has evolved.
Markets have shifted.
And the challenges facing small business owners have continued to grow.
Yet the message of this little book remains the same because one thing hasn't changed...
Simple, profitable small businesses are still built on strong foundations.
Fun Fact: The Five Little Business Pigs was one of two books I wrote in just six months. Looking back ten years later, I'm incredibly grateful this little book is still helping small business owners rebuild strong foundations.
