Business Development & Growth
Greetings from the Founder
Dear Impact Entrepreneurs,
Having run my own businesses and mentored many executives, taking them through long hours of strategy consulting, I developed a reputation of it being like drinking from a fire hose. This is how I came to realize that in the domains of business development and growth, less is more.
That is why our company, TCAhub, decided to incorporate the Entrepreneurial Operating System, EOS®, and we are glad we did! This Business Growth & Development system can be summarized in 3 words: Real. Simple. Results.
To your holistic success,
Sandrine Gonnot

It is a complete set of simple concepts and practical tools that has helped thousands of entrepreneurs get what they want from their businesses. By mastering this simple way of operating, leadership teams of growth-oriented companies systematically and continuously improve.
The Model
The EOS Model™ provides a visual illustration of the Six Key Components™ of any business that must be managed and strengthened to be a great business. This model applies to big and small businesses alike, in any industry.
The Six Key Components of Any BusinessVision
Strengthening this component means getting everyone in the organization 100% on the same page with where you’re going and how you’re going to get there.
People:
Simply put, we can’t do it without great people. This means surrounding yourself with great people, top to bottom, because you can’t achieve a great vision without a great team.
Data:
This means cutting through all the feelings, personalities, opinions and egos and boiling your organization down to a handful of objective numbers that give you an absolute pulse on where things are.
With the Vision, People, and Data Components strong, you start to create a lucid, transparent, open and honest organization where everything becomes more visible and you start to “smoke out all the issues,” which leads to…Issues. Strengthening this component means becoming great at solving problems throughout the organization – setting them up, knocking them down and making them go away forever.
Process:
This is the secret ingredient in your organization. This means “systemizing” your business by identifying and documenting the core processes that define the way to run your business. You’ll need to get everyone on the same page with what the essential procedural steps are, and then get everyone to follow them to create consistency and scalability in your organization.
Traction®:
This means bringing discipline and accountability into the organization – becoming great at execution – taking the vision down to the ground and making it real.”To the degree you focus on strengthening these Six Components as leaders and managers, everything will fall into place. That will move your business into the top 5 percent.””To the degree you focus on strengthening these Six Components as leaders and managers, everything will fall into place.
