Summary of Traction
Short summary
Do you have a hold on your business, or is it your business that has a grip on your life?
The latter is true for far too many entrepreneurs. But it shouldn't be so.
In his years of study on business and entrepreneurship, Gino found that all struggling businesses are suffering the same thing, just in different ways. And that the ones who succeed have found a way to overcome those challenges. His discovery led to the development of EOS, an Entrepreneurial Operating System designed to help every entrepreneur get a grip on their business.
This summary is a collection of valuable tidbits from “Traction.” It's indeed a must read for every business leader who truly believes in letting their business run as an entity while they maintain a proper work-life balance.

So many entrepreneurs run from pillar to post trying to kick start their new business or revive a dying organization. And it's a tiring thing to do. It's hard enough being an entrepreneur, you shouldn't dispense too much energy on things you could set on autopilot while focusing on other parts of your business.
The most successful business leaders are the ones who execute well and know how to bring focus, accountability, and discipline to their organization.
You don't have to focus on everything to make your business grow. Matter of fact, if you keep running around trying to tie all the nuts together, you will be dispensing so much energy and will get fatigued at the end of the day, yet not make any significant progress over time. You can now see why a smart executive working 40 hours a week could very well be outperforming his counterpart in another organization who is working twice the number of hours.
On the surface, it looks like there are many nuts you have to tie to make your business grow sustainably. But when you take a deep and critical wide-angle view, there are only six areas of your business that you need to focus on. They are:
• Vision
• People
• Data
• Issues
• Process Traction
All 6 components make up the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). And the aim of this summary is to give you actionable tidbits on how you can make all 6 components work in your favour. By the end of this summary, you will be armed with the knowledge you need to take your business to the height you've always imagined for it. Let's start right away.

second key point
Vision is the first component to give attention
Vision is a quick picture, an overview, if you like, of what your organization represents; what it's all about; where it is going and how it's going to get there. Vision is what births businesses, so every entrepreneur first had a vision before they went into business. The problem often is that only the entrepreneur has the big picture, because he or she didn't make it plain for everyone in the organization.

Everything you need to be motivate, to learn & to self improves is all here. I actually do appreciate the reminders because otherwise this wouldn’t work for me. Thank you
Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and I’m only on my first week free trial and I’m certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I can’t even imagine living without it.
