"Being an excellent husband, father, friend & entrepreneur is a choice. Easy to say, hard to do." That's how Corey describes himself on his LinkedIn Profile & when you listen to this podcast you'll understand how he achieves all of these.

Corey works as the Co-Owner & President of All Volleyball Inc - a family-owned business that has been running for many years.

Just 2 years ago, after trying to implement many other business systems, the family business decided to go with EOS & use a professional implementer to help them.

In that time they have survived & thrived throughout a pandemic & grown the business to 5x its revenue. However, it hasn't been without its challenges.

Find out why they chose to go with EOS, what it has done for the business & how they went from 5 family members on the leadership team down to just one but how they still all get along & love each other.

Their story is VERY inspiring & if you're a family business owner or part of a family business, you will take a lot from this episode.

Corey's Top 3 Tips

1. Find a system or create one

And then once you have it, don't deviate from it! Corey's family business implemented EOS / Traction & he strongly recommends it but maintains that sticking with any system will work.

2. Stop playing store

You've got to lean into the hard stuff to get the results!

3. Get or ask for help!

It's tough doing it alone. Find support from a coach, a peer group, mentors... Or all 3.
