“The Structure of Success is an incredibly insightful and pragmatic guide for any entrepreneur or business owner looking to take their company to the next level,” said Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 executive coach and New York Times best-selling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. “Patrick’s combination of extensive experience and real-world examples provide the ultimate guide on how to identify potential disasters and prepare for them, as well as how to manage a crisis when it does occur. It answers all the tough questions that business owners face when trying to grow and succeed while maintaining their core values and culture—this is a must-read!”

The Structure of Success, which has been recognized as a silver medalist in the 2023 Nonfiction Book Awards, offers approaches, methodologies, and tools for assessing, determining, planning, and implementing decisions for building the structural components of a business. Esposito concentrates on the eight most important categories that have been shown to impact success and failure for small- and medium-sized businesses:

• Governance models and governance team composition
• Management team models, composition, engagement, and compensation
• Adjustments and pivots
• Growth and infrastructure development
• Business disputes and breakups
• Acquisitions, mergers, exits, and other business transactions
• Disaster preparedness and management
• Succession planning

When leaders of small- and medium-sized businesses address these categories and revisit these topics regularly, they will produce the core structural components that will help them meet their business goals, manage the risks and threats that arise, and position themselves—and their businesses—for success.

“Too many business books concentrate on outliers like Silicon Valley unicorns, massive companies looking to go public, and how to manage billion-dollar operations,” Esposito said. “Those businesses are not the types of enterprises most of us run to make our livelihoods, provide for our families, and bring positive change to our communities. Each of us wants to make our business stronger, whether we are running a small startup or an established company. This book will serve as a guide to help you position your business ventures for long-term, sustained success.”
