Duane Marshall
Certified EOS Implementer
Having started and run three businesses, including a $25 million organization, Duane had already built his own veritable résumé as an entrepreneur before meeting Gino Wickman in 2009. Still, their conversation changed his entire outlook on running businesses.
It was while talking to Gino that Duane realized all of the mistakes, challenges, obstacles and opportunities he’d experienced on his journey — all of those moving parts that had made him feel isolated, lonely and confused — were actually not that unusual. In fact, they’re extremely common for entrepreneurs.
It was at that point that Duane decided to team up with EOS and make the transition from being an entrepreneur to being an entrepreneur that could help others, to help them learn what he’d just learned. As a Certified EOS Implementer, Duane now spends all of his time helping business leaders get control of their organizations while obtaining well-balanced lives.
Duane’s energy is contagious no matter the occasion, whether it’s in a client session, at a keynote address or while rolling up his sleeves in a workshop.
He works throughout the U.S. but lives in Shelby Township, Mich., with his wife Kris and son Trevor.

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
- The Rut
When 100% of our time is given to doing the business (marketing, selling, making, fixing, shipping, accounting, etc.), we’re stuck. We’re in a rut that leads to failure.
It’s a common trap we can all fall into. We have something the market wants. Demand increases and the technical activity associated with getting and filling orders completely fills our schedules. Forty hours per week becomes fifty and then sixty.… Read More
