Best business model

I have read a lot of books about running a business and I feel that traction has done a great job laying things out in order. I see why my company has chosen to use this as a model to use in growing our organization. Seems good for any business.

Excellent guide and synopsis of foundational business books

Wish I’d had this sooner. Excellent strategy and synthesis of classic business, literature, and how to apply the principles.

Great f****** book. Worth it.

This narrator was awesome. Very articulate you can 2.5x speed and not miss a word. Keeps it interesting. The content of the book is hands down the best book on business process. Worth it.

Actionable content

Great book for the entrepreneur that wants to take their company to the next level. I made the mistake of reading the book at the same time as my leadership team and we spun out wheels a little because the book follows a different framework than the ideal implementation framework that he lays out in the last chapter.
