Implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)

The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), developed by Gino Wickman, provides a structured framework for running a financial planning practice as a business. This system enables clearer and faster decision-making, allowing advisors to focus on core activities that drive practice growth. By utilizing tools such as the Vision Traction Organizer, John Kennedy and his partner defined their practice's core values, which ensure that their goals and daily activities align with these values. Additionally, the quarterly objectives known as ROCs allow them to maintain focus on significant tasks, even if all goals are not completed on time.
