| S2E01: Get A Grip – How to Get Everything You Want from Your Entrepreneurial Business with Mike Paton | 07 May 2021 | 00:37:19 | |
Matthew is back!! After a bit of a hiatus, Matthew has returned with a special guest, award-winning speaker, author and Global Ambassador for EOS Worldwide, Mike Paton. Join Mike and Matthew as they discuss the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System®), the common frustrations of entrepreneurs, Mike’s passion for helping entrepreneurs get what they want from their businesses, and his next book about strengthening the process component of your business. About the Guest: Mike Paton has been learning from entrepreneurs for most of his life. Today he works hard to give back - as an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, Certified EOS Implementer®, and as the Global Ambassador for EOS Worldwide. Paton discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) a dozen years ago while trying to take a $7 million company to the next level. Feeling stuck and more than a little frustrated, his search for answers led him to Gino Wickman and EOS. Having helped run four entrepreneurial companies, Paton instantly recognized the power of this simple, holistic “way of operating” a small business. He quickly became a passionate advocate, joined the Professional EOS Implementer Community, and dedicated himself to helping other entrepreneurs get what they want from their businesses. Since then, Paton has conducted more than 1,200 full-day sessions with the leadership teams of more than 110 companies and helped thousands more entrepreneurs by sharing EOS in dynamic talks and workshops the world over. During that journey, Paton wrote Get A Grip: An Entrepreneurial Fable with Gino Wickman and then succeeded Gino in the role of Visionary for EOS Worldwide for five years. Today he spends all his time helping entrepreneurs implement EOS, run better businesses, and live better lives.
