3.0 out of 5 starsNeeds modernization and research backing
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 22, 2019
Practical and experience-based. Sketchy people recommendations that could use a good dose of modernization. Backing up the model with some research would be good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good perspective
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 11, 2019

A prescriptive description of how to run a business in what the author calls the EOS way. I can’t comment on how effective it is as we haven’t implemented it yet, but there are certainly many valuable ideas and I can imagine how everything goes together from this book. It was engaging and easy to follow along.

My only frustration was how often the book fell into this pattern: “Technique X will improve your business by solving this stated problem. Company Y was struggling with the problem. Then they implemented technique X. Now they experience Z% growth every year. We have tried this with over 400 businesses and they all do it exactly this way, and it works.”

Everything from Company Y onwards was unnecessary and didn’t go into enough detail to really justify that implementing said technique really lead to the growth they claim. Just struck me as self congratulatory sales talk. Reminds me, as business books often do, that the author is a consultant who makes his real bread and butter selling his time, and made the book feel more like an ad than a guide at times.

Still, overall a really good read and lots of things in here I hope to have the chance to try over the next while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book right now and there is no way you will regret it!

If you are a business owner than you definitely need to read this book. It is a complete step by step system about how to create a systemitzed business. I would have paid far more for this book so it is an incredible value. I also recommend reading Get A Grip which is a fable of how a consultant would walk a business thru the process using these tools. Buy this book right now and there is no way you will regret it! Unless you just want to do everything yourself in your business and never have a business that you can sell. :)
