Here’s a Look Behind the Scenes
My clients work hard during their EOS journey. Kicking off our first session together – Focus Day – is one of my favorite parts of our EOS journey together! For my clients who follow the process and stay open and honest, I know the rewards will be huge. That sounds like a big commitment, though, doesn’t it? No one should jump into EOS implementation blindly, so I always begin with a 90-Minute Meeting that is no-cost, no-pressure, and no-commitment. I find it’s the best and fastest way to share information, get on the same page, and ultimately help you determine if EOS is right for you. Be careful what you wish for because if you follow the process and put in the work, you will get it! If you’re ready for a company that has vision, traction, and healthy, I’d love to get together with you for a free 90-Minute Meeting to

A common denominator of all great leaders is their ability to decide. Leaders who make poor decisions or take too long to make a decision hold their company back from reaching its full potential. EOS founder Gino Wickman wrote an incredible handbook for building effective decision-making skills, and you can grab a free copy on my website’s resource page. In the meantime, I’d love to know: what business decisions are you wrestling with right now? Hit reply and let me know!

Are You Getting in the Way of Your Own Success?
When it comes to business, there are all types of issues that hold us back from the success we want. But what about when we’re getting in our own way? EOS teaches the act of deciding as one of the important characteristics of a good leader. In fact, having the skills to make decisions and then move forward is a large factor in overall business success. This Forbes article looks at 3 ways we’re holding ourselves back from making decisions and keeping ourselves from the success we want.
Igniting Your Passion…for the Process
Go ahead. I’ll wait until you stop laughing. Or rolling your eyes. Or shaking your head. You see, this Clarity Break™ is actually written for all of us Visionaries, and it’s essential. When implementing EOS®, strengthening the Process Component™ is just as vital as strengthening any of the Six Key Components™. And yet – when mentioned in a session or a workshop – the reaction isn’t exactly what I’d call enthusiastic. Oh sure, we Visionaries can get plenty fired up about solving frustrating People issues or instilling discipline and accountability to gain real Traction. But we seem to have little or no passion for strengthening the Process Component. So when we hear about it – we tend to tune out, push back, or just…yawn. That’s a dangerous mistake (assuming you want to run a better business and live your ideal life). I’ve been thinking a lot about that over how to change that mindset recently,
There’s a Tool for That
For most people, that definition may evoke the image of a carpenter using a hammer, a quilter using a needle and thread, or an electrician using a pair of needle-nose pliers. All simple and practical tools are used by people with varying levels of skill and experience to build, or fix, or create something. Gino Wickman created EOS® – and the EOS Toolbox™ – to help people whose “vocation” happens to be “entrepreneur.” And he knew that to be successful, his toolbox – OUR Toolbox – would need to be full of things as simple and useful as a hammer or a shovel. As practical as these tools are, I’m still surprised by how frequently otherwise talented leaders try to resolve issues and complete tasks without using the proper tool. So the next time you’re trying to resolve an issue in your business, remember that in a company running on EOS, “there’s a
