EOS for a Better Business, Better Life

Welcome back to the Better Business Better Life podcast. In the first part of our two part series on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), we start by discussing some of the tools of EOS, such as the Level 10 meeting, the scorecard, and the People Analyzer, which can help business owners and their teams to stay on track and achieve their goals.
