About this listen

Most Entrepreneurs Are Stuck in a Never-Ending Game of Whack-a-Mole.

They started with big dreams. But now? They’re buried in problems.

• Fires to put out

• Employees who don’t deliver

• Meetings that go nowhere

• Growth that feels like pushing a boulder uphill

Meanwhile, elite organizations run like well-oiled machines. They are clear and decisive. Their teams move fast. Their execution is tight. Their leaders aren’t drowning in day-to-day chaos.

What’s the difference? An obsession with five specific and time-tested principles.

In Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations, Michael Erath, founder of Next Level Growth, hands you the exact framework high-performing companies use to create clarity, alignment, and unstoppable momentum. No fluff. No corporate buzzwords. Just battle-tested strategies, practical tools, and real-world examples that work. You’ll discover how to:

Build a team that actually delivers—without babysitting.

Create a culture of ownership, so people take initiative instead of waiting for orders.

Eliminate wasted time, bad hires, and sloppy execution.

Scale without stress—so you get more growth and more freedom.

Great businesses aren’t built on wishful thinking. They adopt a systematic approach to following a principled approach. This book gives you both the timeless principles and the practical tools to implement them immediately.

Learn why Cameron Herold, former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, founder of the COO Alliance, and well-known author, says, “Everyone has heard of EOS® and many have used it. If you’re ready to go beyond EOS and move up to the next level, read this book…and then get Michael’s team involved to help, but only if you’re really serious about exponential growth.”

Ready to break free from the chaos? Your NEXT LEVEL GROWTH starts now.
