Alex Freytag's "Stretch Not Snap" is a business fable that addresses a common challenge faced by entrepreneurial companies: how to transform the employee mindset into one of ownership, engagement, and shared vision, particularly through the strategic implementation of incentive plans.The book builds upon the foundation laid in another  business fable book by Gino Wickman and Mike Paton's "Get A Grip”. Freytag revisits the characters of Vic and Eileen, the leaders of Swan Services, as they navigate the next phase of their entrepreneurial journey.The story opens with Vic and Eileen facing a growing frustration. While their company, Swan Services, has successfully implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) – gaining traction, clarity on priorities, and leadership team alignment – they observe a fundamental disconnect among their employees. Despite the company's progress and the leaders' dedication, a prevailing "me-first" or "entitlement" mentality has taken root. Employees seem to expect bonuses and rewards merely for showing up, rather than genuinely connecting their daily efforts to the company's overarching vision and financial health. This disengagement is stifling Swan Services' potential and preventing the full realization of its culture.The core of "Stretch Not Snap" is the unfolding of the ProfitWorks Solution, a methodology designed to create a self-funded incentive plan that genuinely drives employee engagement and financial results. The fable illustrates this solution through the practical challenges and successes faced by Vic, Eileen, and their team. The essence of the ProfitWorks Solution revolves around six key principles:1. Financial Literacy and Transparency2. Identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Leading Measures3. The Self-Funded Incentive Plan4. Ending the Entitlement Mentality5. Sharing the Vision and Building Ownership6. Continuous Learning and Adaptation------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

He'll explore how companies stumble and what they can do to simplify, streamline and, ultimately, succeed through change.

Delving headfirst into the entrepreneurial world, where people struggle with maintaining passion, Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and mistakes, trust issues vs. performance issues, being a great leader and a manager, and creating change rather than waiting for it to happen. Let's take a careful look beyond the surface of the entrepreneurial world with Mike Paton and help others master the timeless disciplines and practical tools of the Entrepreneurial Operating System. Mike Paton is a speaker, author, EOS implementer, and former visionary at EOS Worldwide. Over the past fifteen years, he has dedicated every working day to assisting thousands of leaders worldwide in operating their businesses and leading better lives. He is the host of one of the top-rated podcasts, ‘The EOS Leader', and co-authored two books: ‘Get A Grip' and ‘Process.' Throughout the conversation, Mike shares his thoughts and knowledge on why entrepreneurs lose passion for their work halfway into the state of quitting, how a visionary differs from an integrator, and how figuring out what personality you prefer will benefit the organization. He makes it clear there's a difference between trust issues and job performance issues and how to detangle one from the other. When you are a leader or a manager, you can't ignore your responsibilities to your employees and wait for the change to happen. Clear communication between you as a leader and the employees is vital to continuing to work in harmony in the workplace. Wrapping up the conversation, Mike generously shares his thoughts on the importance of fulfilling the responsibilities of a leader and some advice for entrepreneurs who want to take their organization to the next level.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [03:43] The Passion – The possibility of losing interest in your work as an entrepreneur due to mundane stuff.  [05:18] The difference between a visionary and an integrator. [10:22] Level 10 meeting – How a level 10 meeting can help the visionary to figure out what is and isn't working.  [15:29] Trust issues – How to understand the difference between trust issues and job performance issues. [22:01] Common mistakes people make when they try to implement the EOS model into their operations. [27:23] How can a great leader become a great manager. [33:47] Change – The importance of fulfilling your obligations as a leader before being frustrated over the change that doesn't seem to happen on its own.  [39:07] Advice for middle managers on how to lead up and down through the organization.  [44:47] Personal issue-solving sessions and how to identify if your organization is not structured correctly.  [46.46] Advice for entrepreneurs who are in the stage of quitting because of the stress and overwhelming responsibilities but want to get the organization to the next level.    KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are in a rapidly growing organization, try to understand what type of a person you are; a visionary or an integrator. A weekly level 10 meeting can help the visionary or the leaders to find out if their involvement is needed or not. Make sure you have the right person at the right seat who shares the core values of your organization.  Try to approach the EOS model as a holistic approach rather than focusing on one component exclusively.  Always try to communicate your thoughts and feedback with employees as a leader or a manager.   Are people problems eroding your company's profits?

What We Cover In This Episode:  How Chris became a fractional integrator for companies running on EOS [2:02] Defining “integrator” and “visionary” and what their roles look like within a business [7:18] What the “Delegate or Elevate” process is and how it can be used in your workflow [12:52] The way to decide and identify who the delegated tasks go to and how to make that process easy and transitional [17:57] As an integrator, Chris talks about the different stages in business that requires integrator and what stage she focuses on in her business [28:44] The reasons why Chris is in this type of business, and what she enjoys the most from the work that she does each day [34:19] Quotes: “I saw firsthand how a solid foundation is imperative to scaling any sort of business.” [Chris, 3:03] “Every successful business relationship has a visionary and an integrator. If you have two visionaries, nothing actually gets done. If you have two integrators, there is probably not much innovation. You do need this complementary act to really be successful.” [Nick, 5:52] “Delegating and elevating is a great tool to do on your own, but it is also a great tool to do as a team, because in a good-natured way you can kind of call BS on each other and fill in the gaps.” [Chris,16:08] “I just have this amazing appreciation for entrepreneurs. You know you're sticking your neck out there, you are having the possibility of paying to go to work, something that most people would never ever fathom, and you're taking these financial and emotional risks for basically something that's going to stimulate our economy.” [Chris, 34:43] “Moving these blockers, creating these processes, creating this structure no matter how big you are, it is going to make you enjoy going to work every day. It is going to be the heavy lifting upfront, but then you're going to be smooth sailing.” [Nick, 36:42] LINKS:   Chris's Instagram & LinkedIn Her YouTube Channel EOS Website & How to Be a Great Boss Toolkit Accountability Chart Vs.

I have recently been enjoying parable based books to learn new things and to gain confidence that my own analysis and plans are “right” in the world of business. Reading a fictionalized version of important information helps me to apply learning and see nuances rather than just read dry facts. Recently, I listened to The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim and learned how they describe four different kinds of work.  In this podcast, I will introduce you to the first two kinds of work. I then also share my thinking about how these kinds of work are also present in our home and household lives. By thinking about these kinds of work, we can get better work patterns and be more effective in the work we do.  Constraints - constraints are limits that are difficult or impossible to change - in this episode, I give examples of time, money, and space. When we do not have enough of these things, it can be a limit on our organization and productivity, and changing our situation can require a major effort. Bottlenecks - are problems that can be analyzed and solved - in this episode, I give examples of time, money, and space. I explain how we are not using what we have effectively. It is vital to discern whether you are facing a constraint or a bottleneck - many times there are effective changes you can make. Work: Firefighting - reactive work that has deadlines, stress, or feels like a crisis. This work shows up unexpectedly and causes us to pivot, iterate, and adapt rapidly. In the home, the Sunday Basket® contains and then puts out fires. Firefighting is reactive by its very nature. Work: Planned Work - Planned work is proactive. When you plan your work, you use your time, money, and space more effectively. Organize 365 members accomplish large goals without stress, overwork, or being hurried. The 100 Day Home Organization Program focuses on planned work. Each day is planned out for you and you make progress in 15 minute chunks. Try it! For the next 10 days, every evening I want you to write out your plan for the next day in the order you will accomplish your tasks on a notecard. Write down your appointments, any household tasks you need to accomplish (pick up a prescription or clean the oven or do laundry). When you write out a plan for your day in order, you can see if you days are smoother. Bonus: the evening before, also add to the index card what clothing you will wear and write down what you will eat. Spoiler alert - there are no perfect days and no perfect plans! The goal is to move from reactive to proactive. You can learn more about using notecards in Episode 310: Ditch Your To Do List with Notecards. Listen in next week for the other two kinds of work!   Books mentioned in this episode (affiliate links): Traction - Gino Wickman  Lisa's YouTube Review Get a Grip - Gino Wickman and Mike Paton  The Phoenix Project - Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford The Goal - Eliyahu Goldratt

Speaking from not only the pages of his book, Get a Grip, but also the vast personal experience of implementing these discussions over 1400 times, Paton shares though-provoking concepts beneficial for owners and non-owners alike.

We are delighted to be speaking to another amazing entrepreneur today! Cesar Quintero coaches and advises people with the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). He is joining us on the show today to share his knowledge and expertise.  In this episode, Cesar talks about the EOS operating system. He also discusses the different stages of entrepreneurship and explains the importance of vulnerability.  We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation with Cesar Quintero! Cesar Quintero's bio: Cesar Quintero's purpose is to empower leaders to build a business by design so that they live a life by design. His core values are to Share Vulnerably, Spark Action, Spot individuality, and Spread Passion. At age 24, in 2004, Quintero moved to Miami, given the economic turmoil in Venezuela, to pursue his dream of starting a business and helping others achieve a healthier lifestyle by founding Fit2Go. (The first corporate, healthy, meal delivery service in Miami). In 2013, Quintero graduated from the MIT Entrepreneurship Masters Program and founded two new companies: RawBar2Go (the first licensed food boats in Florida) and The Profit Recipe, a coaching firm that focuses on empowering entrepreneurs through a journey of focus ON the business and not IN the business by implementing best practices and the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).  Cesar has been an active Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) member for over 10 years and has held multiple volunteer leadership positions at the chapter, regional and global level for the organization. His passion for teaching and business has also compelled him to get certified as a Trainer for Traction implementation, Why Discoveries, EO Accelerator Program, and EO Forum.  Cesar's journey Cesar comes from Venezuela. Sixteen years ago, when he was twenty-four years old, he got married, moved to Miami, and started a healthy meal delivery service business called Fit2Go.  A lawsuit Cesar's business kept on growing. He was busy and had to make all the business decisions. Then, in 2012, he was hit with a class-action lawsuit. Everything came to a halt, and Cesar started to question what he was doing. A journey of self-discovery He realized that he had nothing to show after being in business for eight years. It was a wake-up call for him, and he knew that something had to change. So, in 2012, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and learned that he focused on the wrong things. Empowering others Cesar wanted to empower others to live the life they wanted. So, he started implementing EOS in his company to empower people to make decisions, take accountability, and take ownership. He eventually sold his business to two of his employees and started two new businesses more aligned with empowering others. One is an online university in Latin America for entrepreneurship called Emprendedor University. The other is a firm in South Florida to empower entrepreneurs to evolve by proven systems. Different stages of entrepreneurship (The Evolution Flywheel) Cesar realized that every entrepreneur goes through the same stages of the journey, so he mapped out five different stages of entrepreneurship, which he calls The Evolution Flywheel: The Opportunity (The startup phase.) Leadership by Design (Discovering your strengths and weaknesses.) Team by Design (Building an external team through coaches, mentors, and peers, and building a supportive and trusted internal team to which you can delegate.) Business by Design (Setting up systems and processes to allow your business to run successfully without you.) Life by Design (Finding your purpose and ideal life.) A cycle The final stage of Cesar's Evolution Flywheel, Life by Design, should bring you back to another opportunity. The first time you go through the cycle it is hard, but it gets easier and easier as you go on. A realization Growing up, Cesar always thought that leaders told people what to do, so that was how he ran his business. When the class action happened, he took it personally and internalized the experience. As a result, both the company and his health began to deteriorate. When there was nothing left in his business and personal accounts, he realized that things were not working, and he had to change the way he was doing things. The power of vulnerability He had a meeting with his team. He told them that he did not know what to do and needed their help to figure things out. Everyone rallied together to help, and that was when Cesar realized the power of opening up and being vulnerable with his team. Taking ownership His entire team started taking ownership. Cesar realized that he had been depriving them of the power of knowledge, effecting change, and understanding their part in the team by not telling them the truth for so many years.  Twelve months later Twelve months later, Cesar was working less than ever because everyone took full ownership. They doubled their profit, and their sales went up by forty percent. Cesar launched his two other companies because he had more time. Two systems Cesar implemented two systems. The first one was The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack, and the other was EOS, the entrepreneur operating system.  EOS When they implemented the EOS system, everybody started taking full accountability. They also had a clear structure and a clear vision of where they were and where they were going. That was why Cesar's employees later bought the business from him. What Cesar Quintero learned about opening up Cesar learned that opening up opens the door for people to connect, relate, buy-in, and take ownership. Now he is authentic and shares everything! EOS is a simple system Cesar went with EOS because it was a simple system for him to implement. It also matched his values and what he wanted from his business. Cesar self-implemented EOS in his business for eight months and then brought in an implementer from Chicago who stayed with them for six months to fine-tune the business. About the EOS system Cesar started implementing the EOS system for other companies in 2016. He loves teaching people the EOS system because it is tied to his purpose and also to helping people with proven processes. They do not tell owners what to do in their businesses. They teach them how to use the system to maximize their vision, and then they leave. They promote team health, solving issues, and everyone taking ownership of their roles. EOS helps business owners get what they want from their businesses. The benefits of using the EOS system in your business The EOS system is based on an agile philosophy. It creates a real environment because it gets people to be authentic, open, and honest. It is a simple process and operating system that helps business owners to align their vision and monitor their businesses at a high level in a simple way. It gets results because it is focus-driven. It does not have to be perfect initially because you will get better with it as you practice it more.

The Integrator focuses on the things that need to be focused on and followed through to deploy the ideas of the Visionary and build consistency.  More efficient with time The EOS system helps business owners to be more efficient with time. Compartmentalizing decision-making and issues helps to move that forward.  

Featured in this week's episode of The Productive Designer host Crystal Collinson interviews fellow interior design professional and author, Phyllis Harbinger. Phyllis is an Interior Designer, Educator, Strategist, Speaker, and Author of the Interior Design Productivity Toolbox. She has owned and operated her award-winning boutique firm DCI Studio for almost 30 years, serving the luxury residential market.In this episode, Phyllis shares the story of how she came to writing her book. It all started when she was in a mastermind class, and her mentor challenged them all to create an evergreen product. Phyllis thought about the budgeting tool and checklists she had created could become an evergreen product, and it did.Crystal and Phyllis move the conversation to discussing the best methods for scaling a business. Phyllis points out that we all live in a very different world now, one that allows us to work remotely, and therefore the ability to hire part-time or “fractional” is very easy to do. This allows small business owners the flexibility and freedom to hire, without having the responsibility of a full-time employee especially when you're starting out. Phyllis shares her best hiring practice. As an Educator she has an advantage she likes to call her “secret sauce”, and that is to hire through her class.  She gets to really know who the students are. As a Teacher, she gets first-hand knowledge of their work ethic, their personality traits, and their unique brilliance. She sees all that because she is interacting with them on a regular basis and she learns of their capabilities. And nine out of 10 times, they exponentially show more than anticipated.Phyllis and Crystal briefly touch on fee systems. Phyllis's preferred method is a substantial design fee for the conceptualization and creative services portion. And then her DCI Studio team move into purchase management. DCI Studio keeps all of their client's credit cards safely password-protected, using their cards to make purchases on their clients' behalf. A “Purchase Management” fee is then added on which allows for complete transparency and worrying about her clients “shopping” her.  So join Crystal and Phyllis as they discuss her book, ideas on scaling and managing an interior design business. Then, “Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” and pick up Phyllis's book. How to reach Phyllis:Website : phyllisharbinger.com I Instagram : phyllisharbinger  I  Facebook : DCIStudioRecommended podcasts: Deepak ChopraRecommended books:  Get A Grip by Gion Wickman & Mike Paton, Traction by Gino Wickman 

Gino Wickman | Traction | Book Review by Lisa Woodruff of Organize 365 On Mondays, I will be posting a podcast recording of previously recorded book reviews. These are books that have impacted me that I want to share with you. In July, I will review books that discuss the nuts and bolts of building a business. I also share some of the mentors I have chosen as I grow my own small business. Some of the books are from other business founders. First in our business series are Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman and Get A Grip: How to Get Everything You Want from Your Entrepreneurial Business by Gino Wickman and Mike Paton.  As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for frameworks for my business and trying to grow myself as a leader. There is no road map for transitioning from a solo-preneur to having employees. The Traction model has 6 cogs in a wheel that work together to ensure a business has traction in growth and income. In the video, I share each of these six core ideas and how they apply to the Organize 365 Dream Team.  There are four books in this series, and I have read and benefitted from all of them. I share how each of them has helped me to be a more effective business owner, and even some of my own mistakes and challenges in the video.  You can also watch this as a video review on YouTube.  Follow me on Goodreads!

Raul talks with Mike Paton, who has been learning from entrepreneurs for most of his life.    Today, Paton works hard to give back – as an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, Certified EOS Implementer, and as the Visionary for EOS Worldwide. Paton discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS) a dozen years ago while trying to take a $7 million company to the next level.

I have recently been enjoying parable based books to learn new things and to gain confidence that my own analysis and plans are “right” in the world of business.Reading a fictionalized version of important information helps me to apply learning and see nuances rather than just read dry facts. Recently, I listened to The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim and learned how they describe four different kinds of work.  In this podcast, I will introduce you to the first two kinds of work. I then also share my thinking about how these kinds of work are also present in our home and household lives. By thinking about these kinds of work, we can get better work patterns and be more effective in the work we do.  Constraints - constraints are limits that are difficult or impossible to change - in this episode, I give examples of time, money, and space. When we do not have enough of these things, it can be a limit on our organization and productivity, and changing our situation can require a major effort. Bottlenecks - are problems that can be analyzed and solved - in this episode, I give examples of time, money, and space. I explain how we are not using what we have effectively. It is vital to discern whether you are facing a constraint or a bottleneck - many times there are effective changes you can make. Work: Firefighting - reactive work that has deadlines, stress, or feels like a crisis. This work shows up unexpectedly and causes us to pivot, iterate, and adapt rapidly. In the home, the Sunday Basket® contains and then puts out fires. Firefighting is reactive by its very nature. Work: Planned Work - Planned work is proactive. When you plan your work, you use your time, money, and space more effectively. Organize 365 members accomplish large goals without stress, overwork, or being hurried. The 100 Day Home Organization Program focuses on planned work. Each day is planned out for you and you make progress in 15 minute chunks. Try it! For the next 10 days, every evening I want you to write out your plan for the next day in the order you will accomplish your tasks on a notecard. Write down your appointments, any household tasks you need to accomplish (pick up a prescription or clean the oven or do laundry). When you write out a plan for your day in order, you can see if you days are smoother. Bonus: the evening before, also add to the index card what clothing you will wear and write down what you will eat. Spoiler alert - there are no perfect days and no perfect plans! The goal is to move from reactive to proactive. You can learn more about using notecards in Episode 310: Ditch Your To Do List with Notecards. Listen in next week for the other two kinds of work!   Books mentioned in this episode (affiliate links): Traction - Gino Wickman  Lisa’s YouTube Review Get a Grip - Gino Wickman and Mike Paton  The Phoenix Project - Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford The Goal - Eliyahu Goldratt

123 The Other One with Reid Hutchison  Episode 123: Show Notes Last week we heard from Reid Hutchison of HOH. Reid told us about how he started in the industry and many more exciting things about himself.  One of the many items that he and I share is that we both use the Entrepreneurial Operating System to help run our companies. EOS is one of the tools that I can say has made my team better, thereby making my company better.   EOS is a consolidation of tools that any business can use to run the company. The analogy that is used more often than any other is a computer operating system and a program running within that operating system, like a word processor.  EOS is the operating system, and your company is the word processor. The tools in EOS give you a framework that any company can use to run more effectively and efficiently. Like so many others, I was taught to be a water treater; running a business was secondary. EOS has made all the difference.  I had the privilege of interviewing some of the top tiers of EOS on the podcast. Mark Winters on episode 38 and Mike Paton on episode 85. If you have any questions about EOS, I highly recommend you listen to these episodes.   In addition to our discussion of EOS, Reid and I continue to explore a host of topics.

This week on the podcast, i have an extra special guest his name is Mike Paton (Payton) He is the co-author of Get a Grip (a fable of best-selling book Traction) which teaches the Entrepreneurial Operating System or EOS used by thousands of businesses worldwide to take the stress out of growing their businesses. I came to the Traction series relatively late. If you’re a fan of the show you know that towards the end of the interview I always ask my guests, my favorite question, ‘tell us about your favorite books’ and the number of people who said Traction….After a while it got ridiculous, so i said to myself i need to pick up a copy of this book because i can’t be the only person that doesn’t know what everyone is talking about. It’s based on growing your business by focusing on just six components instead of the 100 or more that most businesses worry about. If you haven’t read it yet, just do yourself a favor and just get yourself a copy. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it will fundamentally change the way you run your business. If you are at all interested in using a process to remove the stress and uncertainty of growing your business, then you will find this conversation absolutely fascinating.

If you're looking for a complete set of simple concepts and practical tools that will help the leadership team of your entrepreneurial company make better decisions, create a clearer, simpler vision, get everybody on the same page and execute day in and day out with real discipline and accountability, then you want to listen to Mike Paton, award-winning speaker, best-selling author, Certified EOS Implementer™, and the Visionary for EOS Worldwide, on this week's episode of The Melting Pot. Paton (as everyone knows him as) discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS) a dozen years ago while trying to take a $7 million company to the next level. Feeling stuck and more than a little frustrated, his search for answers led him to Gino Wickman and EOS. Paton instantly recognised the power of this simple, holistic “way of operating” a small business. Since then, Paton has conducted more than 1,200 full-day sessions with the leadership teams of more than 110 companies and helped thousands more entrepreneurs by sharing EOS in dynamic talks and workshops the world over. During this journey, Paton wrote Get A Grip: An Entrepreneurial Fable with Gino Wickman and then succeeded Gino in the role of Visionary for EOS Worldwide. Today Paton and Dom chat about why you might want a system at all, why you might want a coach and they talk about some of the tools in EOS. They also talk about rocks and the level 10 meeting. So to hear this and so much more, tune into this week's episode, it's a great conversation that we are sure you're going to hugely enjoy. On today's podcast: What visionary means in the EOS world How Mike found himself working with entrepreneurs everyday Why writing the book was the hardest thing Mike has ever done What putting EOS into place looks like for some businesses The Level 10 Meeting Why the level of maturity and experience of the leadership team needs to grow with the complexity of the business

3 Invaluable Lessons from Mike Paton It is important that the leadership in your organization is aligned on what the vision is and works together to achieve it. It’s critical to put the “right people” in the “right seats” for your team to be successful. It is important to have a healthy cohesive, functional, open and honest leadership team.   This week, host Sue Dyer speaks with Mike Paton, who is the Visionary at EOS Worldwide. He has spent his life working with Entrepreneurs and what he has to teach us from the project level, the organizations level, and personal level is invaluable.   Paton’s Journey to Becoming a Visionary for EOS (03:32) He grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, but ended up working in the traditional banking arena for a number of years. He ventured out on four endeavors as an entrepreneur: two successes and two "train wrecks."  Paton found out he learned a lot more about himself through the train wrecks than the successes.   What is the EOS Model? (06:07) EOS is a simple way of operating an entrepreneurial company. The major pieces are Vision, Traction, and Healthy. Provides a framework for working cohesively through all levels of the team.   A Holistic Overview of EOS (08:05) In EOS, every company that takes a journey through six key components: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction.  There a number of tools and disciplines for leadership teams to strengthen all six of these key components of the EOS model.   Discussing “Vision”, the 1st Key Component to EOS (08:59) Making sure we get the vision out of the head of the owner, entrepreneur, or founder and aligned with the plan of the leadership team. Often there is "too much vision.” Allows for the sharing of each person’s vision followed by healthy productive conflict to implement the shared vision.   The Role of the Visionary and Other Leaders “At the Top” (10:16) The first thing we do is "fire" everyone in the organization. Focus on asking questions that best benefit the organization, not your needs – look at things from a structure first, people second viewpoint. Discuss the three major functions of every business: Marketing/Sales, Operations, and Finance/Admin. The Integrator is the fourth major function of business – the person who drives the day-to-day process and drives accountability among the other leadership team members. About half the time there is a fifth major function, the Visionary (often the founding entrepreneur).   Getting the “Right People” and Improving Your Team (16:06) Helping define what a "right" person is for your unique organization. Focus on placing the "right person" in the "right seat." The People Analyzer Tool helps align the right people to the values of the organization.   Dealing With the “Issues” Component (21:26) Strengthening the issues solving ability of everyone in the organization. Both, being able to Recognize an issue with the courage to voice it and have the skills to solve the issues. Utilizing the "issues list" and "IDS: issue-solving track." Change the culture from a “don’t shoot the messenger” mindset to a culture where people feel safe bringing up issues. Nothing defines a construction project better than the existence of, and need to, resolve issues.   The Most Common Errors with Teams and Organizations (24:43) The perception at "the top" is the acceptance of losing passion for the business. The assumption that everyone in the organization is "crystal clear" on vision and plan. The assumption that if people don't get it immediately, it's their fault.   What Makes Paton a Successful Leader? (26:35) He is passionate and driven to helping entrepreneurs. He focuses on EOS purity. His workmates who help and support him.   Paton’s Biggest Mistake/Learning Opportunity (29:09) Moving his young family to place for an entrepreneurial venture that he hadn't fully vetted the culture fit and leadership approach. I evaluated strictly on career move vs. culture fit and philosophy.  It was the worst thing that could happen but it was also the best thing because it led Paton to EOS.   The Very Best Advice Paton Has Ever Received (31:18) It's more important to be effective than right.  Get aligned and execute, while fixing mistakes together with your team.   Resources for Listeners The EOS Worldwide Website: the books (discounted), free tools, blogs, and Implementors. Book Recommendations: Traction Audible | Paperback | Hardback Get A Grip Audible | Paperback | Hardback   Contact Paton Contact Paton through the EOS Worldwide Directory Contact Paton by Email   Paton’s Parting Advice (35:00) Never lose sight of what it is precisely what you want from your business. Never lose faith that it is possible.  If you have loss sight or lost faith, write down what you want, clearly and explicitly, and use that to better manage your time and energy and your organization's time and energy.   Visit the ConstructionDreamTeam.com/resources page to see all of our guests’ recommended books, websites, etc.   Remember…Construction Dream Team drops every Monday morning at 4 am PST.

Mike Paton joins me today to talk about how EOS® (the entrepreneurial operating system) and Traction can help you accelerate your business. Mike is the “visionary” of EOS Worldwide. He is a consultant to the massive client base looking to EOS® to identify the problems and strengths of their businesses. He shares what his job entails and how someone like him can help a struggling business. As an adopter of EOS® in my own business, I highly recommend this operating system for small businesses. It is a great tool. Mike and I explain the two-year process that businesses go through to get their business into a healthier state. EOS is not a quick process, but it is totally worth the time and resources invested in it. You will learn about: Mike's book with EOS Worldwide's founder called Get a Grip. Mike's business background. What is EOS? How to use EOS in your business? The 6 components of the EOS process. The importance of working with the “big picture” in mind. Common results Mike sees with his clients. Why EOS works. How to clarify roles within the company. What is the integrator role in a company? What is the visionary role in a company? Finding and maintaining passion in the business. How EOS works for family businesses. Why EOS is a great option for businesses. We've talked in the past about making things easier in your business by using all the tools you have available to you. Today we're talking specifically about EOS, or Entrepreneurial Operating System, as a way to free up some of your time and help you run your business more efficiently. Not every company is a good fit for EOS, of course, but our guest today (Mike Paton) says it's important to pick just one operating system to work with so everything aligns in the software world and also between the humans who use those systems. Transparent Operations Mike identifies six key areas to assess when looking at implementing an EOS®. Typically once EOS® is in place, if there are issues in these key components, you'll see evidence of that pretty quickly and therefore be able to get to the root of the problem. In Mike's own words, here are the 6 key components of EOS® in order to gain Traction® that you should evaluate: Vision — Getting everybody on the same page with where you’re going and how you plan on getting there; People — Making sure you have great people in your business so you can achieve your great vision; Data — Running the business on a handful of objective numbers rather than the feelings, egos and emotions that so often are the basis of decisions in an entrepreneurial company; Issues — Because when your vision, people and data components are strong, your organization is transparent. This means all your problems, challenges and obstacles are smoked out. You need to be good at issues resolution at this point. Get good at recognizing, prioritizing and resolving your issues for the long-term greater good; Process — Getting the most important stuff in the business done the right and best way every time, even when you’re not there to manage everybody closely. It creates consistency and

Mike Paton has spent most of his life  learning from entrepreneurs.  Today, he spends all  his time giving back - as an Author, award-winning Speaker, certified EOS Implementer & the Visionary of EOS Worldwide.  Specifically, Paton helps entrepreneurs clarify, simplify and achieve their vision – by mastering the simple concepts and practical tools he’ll be sharing with us today.   I first met Mike Paton at a digital agency conference about three years ago where he was a featured speaker. Now I'd never heard of Mike before or the entrepreneurial operating system (EOS) that he was talking about, but one of the other agencies there had – and they were at least 10 times the size of most of the other agencies in the room,  so that got my attention!   In this session we did, Paton reviewed the main concepts of his the entrepreneurial operating system, and then had us work through a series of questions known as the vision traction organizer (or VTO), which had this group of creative entrepreneurs completely engaged. By the time I was on my flight home, I was already well into Mike's book, get a grip, that I had acquired a copy of  at the conference, and I was eager to begin implementing the entrepreneurial operating system EOS in my business   When I came onboard so young, which is the business I now Co-run with my wife, The first thing we did was the VTO exercise that Mike had us do at the conference. We also created an accountability chart, which Michael share more about in a moment, and implemented weekly meetings to review our scorecard.   Having had this Entrepreneurial Operating System system in place now for the past nearly 2 years, I can sincerely say that it has transformed the way we run our business. We are now proactive about solving problems and able to consistently monitor and grow the business with confidence and clarity.   6 Key Components of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)   Entrepreneurs spend so much time in their optimistic futures that they’re in danger of not tending to the foundations. This is why most business owners aren’t getting everything they want from their business. This lack of fulfillment and progress exists to the extent that they have not fully implemented the 6 key components of the Entrepreneurial Operations system.   VisionGetting everyone in the organization aligned on where you’re going and how you plan to get there   PeopleGetting great people in the organization to help you achieve the vision   Datarunning the business on facts and figures rather than opinions and egos   IssuesGetting good at prioritizing and solving your issues as they arise and addressing core causes rather than just the symptoms   Processdo the most important things the right and best way, every time   TractionInstilling discipline and accountability everywhere in the organization   In what order should you implement the tools?   The first priority is to build the traction muscle   Accountability Chart Level 10 meeting pulse Scorecard - 5 to 15 leading indicators that are tracked on a weekly basis Rocks -  3- 7 of the company's 90 day priorities Then take on the VTO   The distinction between Visionaries and Integrators   The Visionary RoleVisionaries are inspiring and have tons of creative ideas - but don;t like to stay grounded. They live at the 30,000 ft level of the business  and don't like getting dragged into the details or having to deal with the rudimentary aspects of the business. They are great at big relationships, imagining what’s possible and breaking through barriers.   The Integrator Role Integrators love getting into the trenches, love listening to the 20 big ideas but then settling on the one or 2 that will move the business forward. They are the ones who are In the trenches executing on the vision every day and making what’s possible actually happen.   Know who you are One key to the EOS system is recognizing who you are at the core, and making sure you have someone in the organization who can complement either your Visionary or Integrator approach.

Entrepreneurial startups often find themselves maturing before they’ve had time to analyze their growth. The business structure builds itself based upon its initial framework which may no longer be applicable to the company’s present challenges.   Mike Paton, the co-author of Get A Grip, details the key components of the EOS model and describes the tools used to strengthen a business to ensure long term success. He details the steps involved in identifying a company’s vision and how to execute it.   Key Takeaways: [1:24] What are the 6 key components to an entrepreneur's business?
