Feeling overwhelmed by competing priorities? Many businesses struggle to maintain focus and execute effectively. This is where the Vision/Traction Organizer (V/TO) and its emphasis on "Rocks"; becomes invaluable.


The V/TO, a central component of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), is a powerful tool for achieving clarity and alignment. But it goes beyond just defining your vision—it provides a framework for achieving it, with "Rocks"; at its core.


Clarity is King:

The V/TO provides clarity by answering key questions about your business:

  • What are your Core Values? These define the unwavering principles that shape your company culture.

  • What is your Core Focus? This clearly states your company's purpose and target audience.

  • What is your 1-Year Goal? This sets a specific and measurable target for the year ahead.

  • What are your 3-5 Year Priorities? These are the key initiatives that will propel you towards your long-term vision.

  • Who is on your Leadership Team? This identifies the individuals responsible for making the vision a reality.


The Power of Rocks:

"Rocks" are the most important priorities for the next 90 days. They are the essential tasks that must be completed to achieve your 1-year goal. By focusing on just 3-7 Rocks per quarter, you ensure your team's energy is channeled towards the most impactful activities.


Why Rocks Work:

  • Focus: Rocks prevent distractions and keep everyone aligned on the most critical tasks.

  • Accountability: Each Rock is assigned an owner, ensuring clear responsibility and follow-through.

  • Progress: Regularly reviewing progress on Rocks helps you stay on track and make adjustments as needed.


The V/TO in Action:

With a completed V/TO and a strong focus on Rocks, you'll experience:

  • Improved execution: Your team will be more efficient and effective in achieving its goals.

  • Increased traction: You'll make significant progress towards your vision, quarter after quarter.

  • Reduced overwhelm: By prioritizing effectively, you'll create a more focused and productive work environment.
