What Every CEO Learns Too Late | Feat. Tzvi Schwartz
Monday, 16 June, 2025
Does your business feel like it's growing faster than you can control? Are you constantly putting out fires, frustrated that your team isn't on the same page, and feeling like the vision in your head is getting lost in translation? If you're running a business that's grown fast but now feels messy and chaotic, this episode is your intervention. Meet Tzvi Schwartz. He knows this struggle intimately. He started as an electrician and built his own contracting company with over 100 employees, experiencing all the chaos that comes with rapid growth. After selling his company, he discovered the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and became so adept at it that he helped the company he joined scale by an incredible 400%. In this masterclass on operational excellence, Meny Hoffman sits down with Tzvi to break down the systems and mindset shifts that transform business chaos into clarity, accountability, and scalable success. You'll discover: 👉 Why businesses often hit a "danger zone" around 8-10 employees and start to lose control. 👉 The "GWC" formula (Gets It, Wants It, Capacity) for getting the right people in the right seats. 👉 How a simple system can get your entire team rowing in the same direction (and why most leaders fail at this). 👉 The crucial difference between motivation (a short-term push) and inspiration (the real key to avoiding team burnout). 👉 The "Raft Analogy" – a powerful lesson on why the very things that made you successful can now be holding you back. If you're a leader tired of the chaos and ready to build a company that can thrive without you being in the middle of everything, this conversation provides a clear, actionable playbook. 👉 Subscribe for more no-nonsense advice to help you learn, grow, and lead. – 🎥 Watch & Connect: https://youtu.be/XWM5yWvuwqU?si=AzKu46VPXGxZWi0T 🎯 Book a Clarity Session with Meny Hoffman: https://calendly.com/ptex/60-minutes-strategy-meeting-clone 📲 More Let's Talk Business Episodes: https://ptexgroup.com/podcast-main/ 📲 Instagram (@ltbhub): https://www.instagram.com/ltbhub/ 📲 LinkedIn (Let's Talk Business): https://www.linkedin.com/company/letstalkbusinessltb/ 📲 Facebook (The LTB Podcast): https://www.facebook.com/TheLTBpodcast 📲 WhatsApp Status Updates: https://wa.me/message/IQYNZFUYS443A1 📲 Join the LTB WhatsApp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EKcdMc4qeZm7AL3VtcTY6T – 🔗 Episode Links: 👤 Connect with Tzvi Schwartz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tzvischwartz/ 🏢 Tzvi's Company Website: https://www.mythrivability.com 🌐 EOS Worldwide (Find an Implementer): https://www.eosworldwide.com 📘 Book That Inspired Tzvi ("Good to Great"): https://amzn.to/444OFoz 📩 For Promotions & Inquiries (LTB Podcast): https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=13474518368&text=Hi – 💡 Practical Pointers from this Episode (Meny Hoffman's Takeaways): 1. Growth without structure burns people out. Tzvi learned the hard way. You can grow fast, but without systems, it just creates chaos. You need structure if you want to scale and stay sane. 2. Most owners wait too long to fix things. The signs are always there: overwhelm, frustration, turnover. But many owners ignore them. Tzvi says face them early, and things won’t fall apart later. 3. The right team makes or breaks growth. It’s not just about hiring “A-players.” It’s about putting people in the right seats and holding them accountable to clear expectations. 4. EOS isn’t magic, it’s discipline. The system works, but only if you work it. Tzvi shared how weekly meetings, scorecards, and vision alignment completely changed their results. 5. You can actually enjoy your business again. If you’re constantly in the weeds, there’s a better way. Tzvi helps owners to step up, lead better, and get back to the parts they love. – ⏱️ Key Episode Moments (Timestamps): 1:50 – Meet Tzvi Schwartz: From Electrician to EOS Implementer 3:01 – Tzvi's Entrepreneurial Journey & Building a 100+ Employee Business 4:27 – The Turning Point: Discovering EOS & Scaling a Company 400% 8:00 – What is EOS?
