Alpha Dogs Update
Alpha Dogs is now out in paperback! It’s been almost 18 months since the book was first published, and I’m more convinced than ever that I chose a fabulous group of companies to write about. A few updates:
Zane’s Cycles is now a $9.5 million company (up from $6.1 million when I wrote the book) and Chris continues to make amazing headway in the special markets industry.
Dorothy Lane Markets hit $72 million (up from $60 million), and managed that revenue growth without adding employees!
Deb Weidenhamer grew Auction Systems to an amazing $29.8 million (up from $11.5 million) and the company just made the Inner City 100 list for the sixth time.
Amy and Steve Simmons (Amy’ Ice Creams) launched Phil’s Ice House, an incredible burger joint, and posted $1 million their first year.
Trish Karter’s Dancing Deer Baking Co. is now up to $7.6 million (compared to $4.8 million when I wrote the book).
Mike Schwartz of Mike’s Famous Harley Davidson bought a Chrysler-Dodge dealership and has continued to grow his company to a whopping $90 million (up from $47.8).
I’m so proud of them all and thrilled to have them in my “pack”!

Congratulations on the publication of the paper back version of Alpha Dogs! As I read about the ongoing success of the companies you've featured in your book, its abundantly clear to me that you have succesfully sniffed out what truly makes an Alpha Dog. Well done! And continued good luck with the book. Woof woof!
