Exceptional Read

This is a must read for any business. Greg and Steve do an outstanding job tying all of the top business systems into the "How". Exceptional Read.

Great content and practical steps for any business

This is a great book for anybody looking to take the business to the next level and a personal life to the next level

This book is a hidden gem

One of the best books I’ve read in the last year and I read a lot of books and rarely leave reviews. Very thought provoking and actionable.

Great Read - One size does not fit all.

Pinnacle is the Linux of business management blue prints or Business Operating Systems such as Traction, Scaling Up or the eMyth. Greg and Steve explain the origins of the key principles included in most systems and have given me the permission to customize my system to the unique needs of my business. I have a company to grow so will look to hire a Pinnacle Business Guide in my area to guide me to the top of my business mountain. I could not be more excited to start moving and climbing faster after reading this book.

This is how you get it done.

Excellent balance between high level concepts and needed details to implement quickly. I like that they also include guidance on what size/types/stages of business growth these principles are applied to so that you can self-select how to leverage concepts.
