Watch Out!
The Most Dangerous Time for Your Business is Right After a Record Month.
I recently saw a client hit the best month in their company’s history. They are flying high, and they should be; they’ve done the hard work of Focus Day and Vision Building.
But as an EOS Implementer, this is where I enter the danger.
When things are going well, the temptation is to let up. You think, “We’ve got this figured out. Maybe we can skip the L10 meeting this week. We don’t need to obsess over the scorecard right now.”
That is exactly how companies hit the ceiling.
Success isn’t a reason to abandon the process; it’s proof that the process works. The magic isn’t in the record-breaking numbers, it’s in the meeting pulse and the accountability that created those numbers.
If you want to turn a great month into a great company, stay obsessed with the fundamentals:
1. Keep your pulse: Don’t cancel your L10s because you’re too busy being successful.
2. Watch the data: Your scorecard tells you why you succeeded so you can repeat it.
3. Focus on Rocks: Don’t let a big win distract you from your 90-day priorities.
Celebrate the wins, then get back to the work. That’s how you build traction.
