Go from chaos to clarity.

IMPLEMENT A SIMPLE, PROVEN FRAMEWORK
THAT GROWS YOUR PEOPLE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
YOUR BUSINESS.

Are you one leadership team away from extinction or greatness?

Are you:
● Concerned this recession means you’ll lose your competitive advantage?
● Involved with too many projects demanding all your time and attention?
● The only one making decisions and coming up with all the ideas?
● Frustrated — and even desperate — that you have to tell people how to do things over and over each day?

The gap between extinction and greatness isn’t as wide as you think. Build your business on a framework that delivers results so you can feel confident in your business again.

I’ve been there

I’ve sold through the big recessions of our time. Every step of the way, I came out stronger because I was forced to become a better sales person.

I’ve also been a frustrated owner and exhausted trying to work with weak leadership teams who don’t have the same drive or vision.

I’ve helped 500 business owners simplify their business, implement time tested tools all with the goal to grow more profitably. I can help you.

The Pinnacle Principle

People

Surrounding yourself with the right people is a necessity. To embark on this journey, you’ll need to carefully select your team. Pick people who will help raise you up, and remove people who slow you down. A unified team working toward a common goal will always get further than even the most motivated individual.

The Pinnacle Principle

Purpose

The climb to the top requires some serious thinking. You have to figure out what you’re really all about, and what makes you different. How do you stand out from the crowd? What are you bringing to the table that nobody else can provide? What story are you telling with your work? This insight will help to develop the strategy you need for the journey.

The Pinnacle Principle

Playbook

“Just wing it” is bad advice when scaling a mountain, and it’s bad advice for business. Developing a clear-cut plan for everything you do will keep things running smoothly. Devise a strategy for business operations, meetings, and everything else you do, and keep it consistent.

The Pinnacle Principle

Performance

Actions really do speak louder than words. Even the best plan is useless without follow-through. You don’t have to get it all done in a day, but focus on incremental improvement and keep track as it happens. Only consistent practice can lead to exceptional performance.

The Pinnacle Principle

Profits

A great strategy builds momentum over time, continuing to get better, faster, and cheaper. With the right people, a clearly defined purpose, a detailed playbook, and consistent performance, profits are nearly inevitable. Sir Edmund Hillary once said, “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” (And as one of the first people to climb Mt. Everest, we think he’d know.)

The formula to success: the Pinnacle Principle

People + Purpose + Playbook + Performance = Profits

Pinnacle: Five Principles that Take Your Business to the Top of the Mountain

by Steve Peda & Gregory Cleary

Do you own a small business with more than a handful of employees? Are you frustrated that your organization has flatlined? Do you feel drained by working long hours and only dreaming of having an energized team ready to step up and lead? Do you nurse an ambition to scale your business into one that dominates its niche? Are you concerned that time is running out and you may never fulfill your dreams?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you are holding the right book in your hands.

Look at somebody who is fit: they have a system. Look at somebody who has a great marriage: they have a system. Look at somebody who has great kids: they have a system.
