During the last two years Don has taken the time to coach and mentor me in my EOS business. Don certainly is an Expert at running a business and certainly is a Master at Implementing EOS.

“Without Don Tinney’s expert guidance and frequent support, I’d never have become a successful EOS Implementer. An exceptional entrepreneur in his own right and the first “non-Gino” EOS Implementer, Don knows more about running small businesses and mastering EOS than most of us could learn in a lifetime of devoted study. If you’re a business leader, consultant or coach who thinks EOS might help you achieve something truly special for yourself and/or your clients – call Don. You’ll benefit immediately from his wisdom and generosity and hopefully, like me, you’ll ultimately be very proud to call him a great friend.” Mike Paton – Certified EOS Implementer
“If you are thinking of becoming an EOS implementer, then you must talk with Don. He is the quintessential coach – always helping first, persistent, but never pushy. He genuinely wants what is best for you. It took me four months to decide to become a professional EOS implementer. It took me another three months to decide that EOS was all I was going to do and to focus on becoming a certified implementer. Don was there to answer questions and to help to clarify my thoughts. He continues to provide excellent advice as I build my EOS practice.” Ed Callahan – Certified EOS Implementer
“My leadership team attended a 90 minute meeting given by Don in November of 2006. Spiech Farms was going to end 2006 with a net loss of 3% on $5,000,000. Things weren’t awful, but we definitely wanted to do better. We first began implementing EOS in January of 2007, and by all external indicators there was nothing unusual going on. That’s because all of the extraordinary stuff was going on inside Spiech Farms. It did feel a little awkward at first, but as we became more and more comfortable with the EOS tools, things became simpler and soon everything began to work better. As we became more confident in the process we also felt more confident in our capabilities as a team. As a result, we turned in an amazing year, growing to $7,500,000 and posting a 6% net profit for 2007! We thought we were doing okay prior to EOS, and I guess it’s easy to be satisfied when you don’t know what you’re missing. Really, the numbers don’t even begin to tell the whole story. The whole leadership team is so much more confident about the future now, and we’ve never been so unified as a team. We never imagined we could be this clear about our future, or so focused on hitting our goals. I have complete trust in Don, and the EOS tools really work. Give EOS and Don a chance to help you get the most out of your organization.” Steve Spiech – Owner Spiech Farms LLC

- “Other Than Managing People, I Love Being a Manager”
Great managers are hard to find. Great managers have a true gift and a passion for getting the most out of people. Great managers possess a unique ability that is not in everyone.
This message is a mini–passionate plea. Having worked with so many managers, I now see clearly the ones that truly want to be great managers and the ones that are doing it for other reasons (e.g., ego, advancement, having nowhere else to go).… Read More
