Who is running off of EOS? How has it helped your business grow?
I am a member of a local BNI group. Recently I had a EOS coach join my BNI chapter. I did a free 90 minute consultation with him on EOS. I am looking at potentially making the investment to hire them and fully implement EOS into my business. I'm just curious how it is working for others before jumping into it. EOS is based off the book, "Traction" my Gino Wickman.

From weekend side hustle to full-time: what would you start with?
Hey everyone We’re in NJ and exploring starting a weekend home service business that could eventually replace full-time income. My husband comes from road service and gas station inventory work—very hands-on, problem-solving, and customer-facing. The plan is to start on weekends, replace overtime first, and grow from there. For those who’ve done it: - What service did you start with on weekends? - What would you do differently if you were starting again? - Any service you wish you hadn’t tried? Would love to hear real stories and lessons learned.How do business owners use time blocking to manage a busy workday?
How is everyone is handling time blocking when you’re getting pulled in a bunch of different directions all day? I’ve been trying to use time blocking more, but honestly I’ve had a hard time sticking to it consistently. Between calls, texts, estimates, job issues, and random things popping up, it feels like the day can get away from you pretty fast. For those of you who are doing it well, what does that actually look like? Do you have certain blocks every week that are set in stone and don’t move? Do you leave flexible time in your day for unexpected stuff? Do you build in dead time or catch-up time? Or do you just have certain priorities you try to hit without scheduling every hour? I’d love to hear how other people are approaching it, especially if you’re balancing sales, operations, and team questions all at the same time. I’m trying to find something realistic that actually works in day-to-day business, not just something that looks good on paper.
