Story
Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

Where are the worksheets?!
The ideas in this book make so much sense to a brand new entrepreneur but where are the worksheets?! No way I'm going to remember all the things he's telling me: especially since I'm listening to it because I have ADHD. I can't be bothered to sit through actually reading the print (which I would love to do if I could).

There are a lot of books on business and leadership that focus in specific areas, or provide top level guidance. Traction digs down deep to provide the basics needed to build a foundation for structure and growth in a small business. Very excited to begin implementing what I’ve learned in the book!
