Discover business acumen: core components, traits of leaders, development steps & metrics to boost decision-making and scale success.

Trying to grow a business without a clear system is a recipe for burnout. You can hire more people, push harder, and work longer hours, but without structure, you’re just spinning your wheels.
The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) gives business owners the clarity and tools they need to scale with purpose. It’s not theory. It’s a proven framework that creates real results.
In this episode of Catalyst for the Trades, Jennifer Bagley and Dwight Miller walk through how EOS is helping home service companies get aligned, improve performance, and finally break through growth ceilings.
Most companies don’t fail because of a bad product or a weak market. They fail because their internal systems don’t support growth. EOS helps you fix that with a simple, repeatable process that gets your entire team moving in the same direction.
