Wheel of Founders

The Gap Between "Making It" and Feeling It "I hit a revenue milestone last month. Should be celebrating, right? Instead, I felt... hollow." If you've achieved external success but feel internal emptiness, you're experiencing what founders are quietly calling " The Success Paradox ." It's the unsettling gap between what your metrics say and what you feel. But the hollow success is just the tip of the iceberg.

Build Your Business Like a Pro: The EOS Blueprint for Founders What if you could walk into your business every Monday morning knowing exactly what needs to be done? What if you were confident your team was aligned and excited to execute a clear plan? What if you could finally stop reacting to emergencies and start proactively building your vision? This isn't a fantasy. It’s the reality for businesses that install a complete, simple operating system. But for many founders, the current reality feels like the opposite: chaos. Imagine you started with a brilliant idea—a dream home design. But somewhere along the way, the build got messy. You're no longer the architect of your vision. You're the exhausted foreman on a chaotic construction site, putting out fires instead of building something beautiful. This is where the system from Gino Wickman’s book  Traction  comes in.
