Ep 5: Building Momentum in Business & Life: Focus Your Vision and Gain Traction | Amanda Barkey

Think EOS is only for big companies?

Think again.The entrepreneurial journey in real estate often follows a familiar pattern: early success through hustle, followed by painful growing pains when systems can't keep pace with ambition. Daniel Gutierrez experienced this firsthand at AllView Real Estate, discovering that his business degrees couldn't prevent the chaos of scaling without proper processes. Enter Amanda Barkey, an EOS implementer whose own entrepreneurial portfolio spans children's franchises and West African nonprofits. Her message? "If nothing changes, nothing changes."

This conversation dismantles the myth that real estate professionals need complex systems to succeed. Instead, Amanda introduces five foundational EOS tools that create clarity: the accountability chart, rocks (90-day priorities), Level 10 meetings, scorecards, and the Vision Traction Organizer. Shannon Dempsey admits the transformation: "It really has shifted my perspective of treating my business like an actual business." The discussion tackles uncomfortable truths about delegation, hiring, and the GWC framework (Get it, Want it, Capacity). Amanda challenges listeners to stop doing $25-per-hour work when their unique abilities generate exponentially more value. For real estate entrepreneurs tired of wrestling with 136 simultaneous issues, this episode offers practical systems that actually work.

Amanda Barkey is a certified EOS implementer and serial entrepreneur who transforms businesses through the Entrepreneurial Operating System. Born in British Columbia, Canada, to immigrant parents, Amanda discovered her entrepreneurial calling after marrying her husband Joe. Together they built Soccer Shots, a children's soccer program franchise serving over 10,000 families across Orange County, California and Oahu, Hawaii. Beyond their six franchise locations, the Barkeys founded a nonprofit making significant impact in Cameroon, West Africa, including operating a school for 250 children, digging wells, running a pharmacy, and providing transportation services. Amanda's teaching philosophy centers on experience sharing rather than theory, having successfully implemented EOS tools across her for-profit businesses, nonprofit work, and even her family life with five children. As an EOS implementer, she partners with entrepreneurial organizations to strengthen six key business components, helping leaders run better businesses while living better lives.
