Actionable insights based on real life experience.

I'd recommend this book if you want to transform your company or are starting a new company. It offers a total solution for operational excellence that impacts every aspect of running a business. Some of the content may seem familiar if you tend to read a lot of business books. (In fact many of the main points are quoting other authors.) But there are several great insights in this book that are not available elsewhere, and they are quite helpful for any business owner or executive leader. This book does a good job of taking the key principles of business success and making them actionable. For example, before reading this book I would think, feel, and say that "I hated meetings". This book changed the way I look at meetings, but it didn't stop there. It then gave me a system on exactly how to conduct great meetings. Now, I can say that "I used to hate poorly planned meetings", but now I cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of regular meetings, because they are efficient and effective, and necessary for team communication.
After you read this book you WILL have a SYSTEM that you can use to run your business. As it turns out, SYSTEMS are what business is all about.

I gave it 4/5 stars for "performance" because of a few minor enunciation errors made by the narrator which were quite distracting. Articulation matters! Overall - excellent book and definitely worth a listen!

MUST READ book for any organization!

Where does Traction rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

When it comes to systemizing your business and implementing accountability programs, this is THE book to read up on.

What other book might you compare Traction to and why?

The E-Myth, Built To Sell, and Work The System.. All books are aimed to structure any company to become more effective and impactful

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Mostly when it was covering the accountability systems to keep everyone on track and held accountable

Any additional comments?

Seriously, regardless if your company/organization is small or big, this will help you take control of everything and have a clearer path to success

Good

The content is good and the performance is good, but overall, it's just... good. I got some solid nuggets out of this book. The best way I can explain it is that I wouldn't give this book a second read.

Great read, lots of great ideas

Loved it and will re read for sure.

As an audio book, some sections would benefit from more summaries.

Must read for business owners

clearly details the importance of processes

this book was great to listen to but with so many details acronyms and specific business ideas feel it would be better to have a hard copy to highlight and take notes.
