20/20 Money Episode #207-The benefits of implementing the EOS® operating system in your practice with Dr. Larry Golson, OD

October 24, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Larry Golson. Larry is the founder of Envision Eyecare & Eyeware in Ashville, NC and in addition to practice ownership he has taken on another role in the optometric profession, serving as a consultant and coach to practice owners looking to implement the concepts and applications discussed in the book Traction by Gino Wickman.

Larry and I talk through his implementation journey with EOS® and what he’s learned through that journey. He shares how important the beginning stages were of the process, how he knew he was ready for change, the importance of empowering team members to provide feedback, why culture is a driving force in any business (including optometry), the cost that bad-fit team members can have on a practice, how he’s measured success with the system, and when a practice is ready for EOS.®
