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.
