Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Grow Like a Lobster
Joshua Dick · 2019
70/100
👍 Worth It
The lobster metaphor is genuinely sticky, and Dick backs it up with real audited business results from a 25x revenue growth journey — that's more credibility than most business books offer. The coffee-industry focus keeps the lens narrower than it could be, and advanced readers may want more strategic complexity, but as an accessible framework for entrepreneurs navigating growth cycles it earns its keep.
