TRACTION is a great book but has a major flaw.
 
It reads like a how-to guide,
 
but is actually just an introduction.
 
When Gino Wickman wrote the book in 2007 he had a clear intent:
 
• Introduce the system to business owners
• Build the EOS brand
• Create a sales funnel for his certified coaches
 
The book has now sold 2MM+ copies.
 
Hundreds of thousands of companies use EOS.
 
Gino designed EOS to be implemented over 2 years with a coach - including 10 full-day leadership sessions.
 
Many companies try to DIY it to save money.
 
Some succeed. Most don't.
 
Not because the tools are bad.
 
But because simple ≠ easy.
 
The reality is while the tools are extremely simple there's a tremendous amount of depth to them, and successful implementation requires a few key things:
 
1. Full buy-in and commitment from the full leadership team
2. Deep understanding of the tools and concepts and how to use them
3. Strong facilitation skills to lead teams through each session
4. Clear understanding of which tools to use for different situations
5. A clear roadmap for rolling out the tools to the rest of the organization
 
As one of Gino's many certified coaches who has dedicated his career to helping teams implement his system it's a deep desire of mine to help anyone who wants to do it properly.
 
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 - I'd love to meet and discuss ways to do it better, more thoroughly, and with the right resources.
 
𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 - I'd love to meet to see if we're a good fit.
 
Traction is the best business book I've ever read.
 
I'm committed to helping as many people as possible get as much benefit as it did for my businesses.

What’s the worst that can happen?

That’s a great exercise to explore whenever you’re considering a new business, line of business, or major venture.

I've used this exercise for all the ventures I've launched.

Here's an example:

Say you're considering opening a retail business that needs landlord improvements, requiring a 10 year lease with a personal guarantee.

The worst case - your business fails and you owe the balance of the full-term of the lease - forcing you into bankruptcy.

Can you accept this risk?

To answer this question you should understand what happens when you declare bankruptcy.

If after learning how it works you realize you can handle that risk - you can enter the lease without fear of the worst case scenario and work tirelessly to meet your goals.

If you can't handle this risk - you may want to find an alternative to finance the lease, or back out of the business opportunity entirely.

Regardless of the outcome - going through this exercise allows enter a big decision with both eyes open, and often alleviates the fear of taking the leap.

Have you used this tool in a big decision?
