Live Your EOS Life This Holiday Season
As an entrepreneur, I know how challenging it can be to juggle running a business and enjoying the holidays. Stepping away from your business for days at a time can seem completely impossible, and even if you think you did take a break, chances are you spent more time than you thought checking your email or thinking about projects. That’s because as business leaders, we all have the drive to succeed, and at times, this can have a negative impact on our work/life balance. For many of my clients, that work/life balance is one of the main things we work on together because the Entrepreneurial Operating System is designed to help you take back control of your business so that you can focus on what really matters. Here is my advice on how you can minimize your stress, enjoy the holidays, and set yourself up for success in the new
Are You Setting Your Team Up For Success?
People are the foundation of every great business. For companies to achieve their vision and succeed, they need a team of truly great people, from top to bottom, working together to solve issues and make progress. Most business leaders know this, however, 83% of business owners say that people issues were their #1 frustration in their business before they started implementing EOS. Recently, I was humbled to be a part of a workshop led by Beth Fahey, certified EOS Implementer and Speaker, and René Boer, co-author of EOS book, How to Be a Great Boss. As we talked through the qualities of what makes a great boss, René reminded us to “put a hand to heart” and look in the mirror. As the leader, are you doing everything you can and should be doing to help your people be the best they can be? Sometimes—actually, most of the time— the
There is Never A Good Time to Make Big Changes
Change. I get it, as a fellow business owner, there are 136 issues threatening to take over my days. It can feel like there is never enough time to get the little things done. So, how would there be time to fit in a big change for your business? Making changes can be hard. However, change is necessary for any healthy business to grow. Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone, and if you continue to wait, and let the fear hold you back from making the best decisions for your business, you will never see the results you want. Don’t Wait to Make Changes For example, one of my clients had been self-implementing EOS for 9 years with little results before he took the leap and reached out to me to be their EOS Implementer. After just 1 session with me, he told me—he was definitely not
How to Know You’re Ready for EOS Implementation
Have you read any good business leadership books lately? Or have you attended any virtual webinars about how you can improve your business?

Let Me Ask You This… Are you struggling to get enough out of the people on your team? Do you have control over your business? Or is your business controlling you?

Why I Became an EOS Implementer
This week, I wanted to share with you my own personal EOS journey and how my passion for coaching and helping business leaders, led me to become a Professional EOS Implementer. Becoming My Own Boss! Before becoming an EOS Implementer, I spent my career working with business leaders and their teams, coaching them on how to better their business. With over 20 years of experience in business transformation, strategic planning, and merger integration, I fell in love with the impact of helping others grow and turnaround their businesses. So, seeing the need for this type of work, I decided to embrace my passion! I left my job in the corporate world and became my own boss. I started my own business so I could work with other owners and leaders of small to mid-sized businesses, empowering them as their business coach and helping them get results. However, shortly after becoming
Is Your Strategy Chasing Bright, Shiny Objects?
Something that I have been hearing a lot this year is the need for businesses to pivot their business goals to focus on addressing new problems that arise. This year has presented unique challenges for many businesses to overcome. In the chaos and uncertainty of the present, it can be hard to plan for the future. However, planning is necessary to achieve real growth. By continuously pivoting to address new problems or opportunities, without considering how or if they can help you achieve your big goal, it can make growing your business seem like you are running a race with no finish line. It can also be exhausting for your employees. The Importance of Setting and Focusing on Long Term Goals As a business leader, it can be tempting to chase new ideas that pop up. But when you shift your focus to something new every week, all it really
