- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5TRACTION: GET A GRIP ON YOUR BUSINESS by Gino Wickman was a slightly different book for me to review, as my regular readers will notice. Due to my current educational state, I figured it would be an interesting choice, however, so I embarked on a mission to learn about business ownership and management. TRACTION spends a lot of time encouraging the reader to focus on goal setting and analysis. Are your goals appropriate for what you're doing? Is what you're doing appropriate for your goals? The idea is to stop spinning your wheels so much and get down to the business of running your business in an effective and efficient manner. I see this book helping those running a business to both start and set goals from the beginning and get a wayward business back on track. Perhaps your business is bordering the line between profit and disaster. TRACTION has some good tips and advice for how to pull yourself in and focus on the important aspects of the business. Not every person runs a business the same way and TRACTION will help the reader learn the best way to run his or her business. I found Mr. Wickman's writing style to be easily understandable and conducive to a casual reader looking for good advice. This isn't a textbook with dry language where the reader has to force themselves to turn the pages. The pages turn easily here, the promise of great information too tempting to stop reading. Furthermore, his advice seems very realistic. I have not had the opportunity to put any of it into effect yet, but this book is the kind that I could see anyone running a business being able to use effectively. This is a book for your average Joe and one that he or she might benefit from.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found this a very tough read. Had some good ideas for businesses but again very difficult to read through
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love how the book focuses on vision and doing a few things well each quarter.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a business self-help book. The book is based on the author’s Entrepreneurial Operating System and reads a little bit like advertising for his system. The book does have many useful suggestions but nothing that I have not heard before. It does put a lot of good information into one package but I found the book hard to read because of the author’s dry writing style. I was hoping that the book could give me a few exciting and new suggestions for my own company but my company is a sole proprietorship and the book is not written for that type of business. I did find a few interesting ideas but basically the book is targeted for small to medium sized business that have many employees.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman is part book, part sales piece for the author’s “Entrepreneurial Operating System”. The fact that the author offers his own system and a website to provide more assistance to business owners is not necessarily a bad thing, so long as the book itself stands on its own. And I think it does.The book covers the six key components of a business: Vision, Data, People, Issues, Process, Traction. Much of what the book covers is the typical advice offered to business owners. In books like these, one looks for a review of what’s already known, and those snippets of wisdom that is either new or puts a different spin on a common idea. The closest this book comes to that spin is its concept of Traction. Wickman writes that, once a company has addressed those six components, there are two disciplines needed to gain traction: accountability and better meetings. I think there are better books on how to run a business, certainly more motivating ones. This wasn’t bad, though, as a review of what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur.
