Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman.

“Traction by Gino Wickman is one of my favorite business reads. I have read it twice and refer back to the many highights, folded pages, etc. in the book. It offers real world experiences and practical wisdom for running a business. If you want to practice consistency and stay focused on your vision, it is a must read!”
