The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is a simple and effective way to implement operational efficiency, focusing on six foundational areas, including vision, people, and data, to help businesses become healthy and strong 
02:09.

Achieving Traction

Vision without traction is considered hallucination, and having clear objectives for the business in a 90-day world is crucial for achieving traction

The L10 meeting is a simple yet effective tool for solving issues, where the leadership team meets to discuss what's on track, off track, and how to solve issues

Exit Strategy

To optimize valuation and plan for exit, business owners need to define what exit means for them and be transparent with their employees about their plans, which can be built into their vision 
15:14

A business owner should think about the next person's journey when selling their business, and having a buyer who is excited about the business can drive value, as seen in Stephanie's example with 7 million subscribers
