“The number one reason a startup fails is because it was started by someone who's not a true entrepreneur. And so I'm in the business of breaking hearts for those that don't score high. But I'm trying to save the lives is what I'm doing.” - Gino Wickman
In this episode of Tactical Friday, Gino Wickman gives us the top two takeaways from his book, Entrepreneurial Leap. Listen in and be inspired to discover if entrepreneurship is the right path for you.
An entrepreneur since the age of 21, Gino has had an obsession for learning what makes businesses and entrepreneurs thrive. At 25 he took over the family business, which was deeply in debt and in need of help. After turning the company around and running it for seven years, he and his partners successfully sold the company.
Gino then set out to help entrepreneurs and leaders get what they want from their businesses. Based on his years of real-world experience, he created the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a practical method for helping companies achieve greatness. He has personally delivered more than 1,900 full-day sessions for more than 135 companies, helping them implement EOS. He is also the author of the award-winning, best-selling book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business, which has sold over 1 million copies, as well as five other books in the Traction Library that have sold almost 2 million copies. Gino is the founder of EOS Worldwide, an organization that helps tens of thousands of businesses implement EOS with the aid of an international team of over 450 professional and certified EOS Implementers and online support. There are over 130,000 companies using the EOS tools worldwide.

Key Quote:
“Let your freak flag fly. And so I am fanatical about helping the world be themselves and you can't be yourself until you know thyself. And so it's a travesty how many of us don't truly, fully be ourselves for whatever reason. And I would urge you to embark on the journey to really get to know yourself, understand yourself, learn your strengths and weaknesses, laugh at your weaknesses, and celebrate those. But absolutely capitalize on your strengths and don't apologize for it. And life is just a hell of a lot better when you're being 100% you.” - Gino Wickman
