TRACTION

Great Content for any Business Owner to be implemented Directly !

It's a working manual. Easy to understand. It is very helpful book for all size businesses. Author has not hide anything. I have made notes and started implementing it in my business. Quality of Paper and Print is good. Fonts are easily readable. Get benefits from this book to organize your business.

Best book for young entrepreneurs. Proper learning guide. Briefly elaborated. Step by step.

A book that re-emphasises my notion that it has to be back to basics. Running a successful business is always about getting the basics right. This book puts a good framework on connecting all the basics.

Complete task fast. Very helpful book

A must read for all entrepreneurs

Seemed basic stuff when I started to read, but the simplicity helped as it went along. Rather than just talking theory the use of practical frameworks (whether one agrees or not) to explain was useful.

Sadly is poor quality print though it says 'Printed in USA' by Lake Book Manufacturing. This print-on-demand has become a curse as the quality is not standardised and is at the mercy of the third party printer. Maybe it is with the seller who is doing it. Do be aware. Sellers please dont disaapoint. Anyway awaiting a refund.

Ce livre permet de bien décomposer les différents blocs à (re-)construire pour relancer l’entreprise. Je pense que toutes les entreprises, même les très petites, ont beaucoup à gagner de ce système.

This book was highly recommended to me. I read it a few times and now and I'm using its recommendations to improve all my foundational business processes. Many years ago I read The E-Myth Re-visited. It was quite eye-opening. Basically explaining why most small businesses fail. Traction introduces EOS ( Entrepreneurial Operating System) and showed me how I could run a small business well and avoid those common traps described in the E-Myth. EOS is a fabulous concept. At the same time it's kind of simple, common sense stuff. But when pulled together and applied across all departments and employees it really does help business run smoother. We started integrating EOS quite early in our growth. We figured it's better to start on the right track, with the right processes, as we introduce more staff so they understand their place and expectations right from the start. Our staff love it. We love it. Reading Traction is what started that ball rolling. Now I look back on other places I worked at and think about how much better those jobs would have been if the company had been built on EOS principals. Seriously a great read!

Great book!

Gino Wickman é certamente um grande estudioso das melhores práticas de gestão do mercado. Traction é um livro que apresenta um modelo altamente estruturado de gestão. Achei que o material faz uma curadoria boa das melhores práticas e foca em muitas das coisas que acredito. Por outro lado achei a abordagem um pouco tradicional demais, voltada para mercados de baixa variabilidade e pouco permissiva em relação às capacidade de aprendizagem e adaptação. O modelo é fundamentado em conceitos consagrados, como visão, valores, prestação de contas, reuniões, scorecards e por aí vai. É um livro da geração vamos colocar as pessoas certas nos locais certos, estabelecer metas, medir, acompanhar, formalizar processos, dar uma visão de longo prazo e cobrar a prática dos nossos valores. Dei 4 estrelas mais pelo que ficou de fora da obra do que pelo ficou de dentro. Considerei Traction uma obra bem curada para ensinar sobre a gestão tradicional. Não a considero necessária nem suficiente para a gestão de um negócio, mas pode ser de grande valia para colocar "ordem na casa".

So I have been in business some 16 years. I am an expert in my field and even on the bleeding edge of the field over the last few years. I have no formal business education so I studied for years at the school of hard-knocks to get my MBA. I've read every book I could get my hand on. I applied as much as I could, but my business struggled to grow to the size I wanted and needed in order to do the level of business I wanted to do. I've read most of Michael Gerber's book based on the E-myth concept which I was certainly in. So for 5 to 10 years I worked on the business instead of in it. The big takeaway from all the E-myth books and even several E-myth Worldwide training I did. However as much as I understood the importance of processes and delegating and managing better I still struggled. Then I had a friend recommend I read Traction and the partner book Get A Grip. WOW! This stuff really made it all click. The years of business study are all now being applied in a simple and manageable way. In the first 30 days of being introduced to Traction, I read it, listened to the audio version twice and read Get A Grip and listened to half of the audio version currently. On top of that I started applying the strategy to my business. I have never been more focused and more clear about how to hit the big future goals I am going after. I know that over the next 50ish days (of Q4 year end) we will have this system up and running and my business will be in a place it has never been before… accurately predicting future projections, solving real problems and issues forever and growing at pace that we've never experienced before. I've read Good To Great a few times and you know really struggled with figuring out how a small business like mine could define and create the "right seats" so that we would understand how to attract and keep the "right people" in those seats. Although I didn't get this from Jim Collins book, the theory made sense. Implementation on the other hand was the challenge. Traction took the theory of Good To Great and made it applicable for me. Now granted I also am now working with EOS Worldwide to roll-out these strategies faster, but that is the thing… Traction is all about application. The book is titled Traction for a reason, reading opens your eye to more than just business theory, it also delivers the tools you need to get traction. At least for my company it seems to be. I have only been at this for 30-40 days and things are sick. I mean we are seriously getting TRACTION! I can't wait to see where we are at in 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 10 years. At this rate the future is looking pretty darn bright. If you are a small business owner or small CEO that is frustrated with your company and feels like you've done it all and wasted a ton of cash and time trying every business theory and concept that came along and have little to show for it, then you may want to read Traction. This is the best damn business book I have read EVER! Only because it is real world and it give you more then theory, it actually gives you the tools you need to run and manage your business, your people, your clients, your profits and even your personal life (if you're working like a dog and missing family time, this book will help you get control of your personal life as well)! I highly recommend this book to anyone running a business that feels out of control.
