"Great book in From Panic to Profit. It came to me as specific and actionable, very clear.

Your literary references and historical anecdotes make the concepts memorable and vivid. Your books have the clearest and most data-driven approach to making any business better quickly. The results speak for themselves. The heart of this is using the 80/20 principle. You cut to the core of the issue and keep it simple. Here’s a sample: 'From Panic to Profit provides a clear process and approach to get results for any business fast. These insights and playbook will help any leader drive excellence."

"Bill gave me the opportunity to read an advance copy of his book From Panic to Profit, and I was hooked from the beginning. Bill has lived exactly what the book covers from start to finish, and so have I in many ways. He references the work of other well-known authors in business strategy and acumen, which I have followed in the past. But From Panic to Profit captures what many companies face today, with dynamics like the rise of Private Equity firms, the focus on short-term profitability, and the need for immediate results. I plan to use this book with my key managers to instill the sense of urgency necessary for delivering above and beyond results."

"In From Panic to Profit, the follow-up to the highly-successful The 80/20 CEO, Bill takes us on the recovery journey of a private equity-sponsored business called Rolling Thunder that was sinking quickly. This real-life, step-by-step guide lays out the tools and processes of 80/20 required to earn the right to grow and reach the desired state of a Profitable Growth Operating System (PGOS). Throughout, he deftly weaves historical and non-business anecdotes into his hardcore business how-to, resulting in an easily digestible, must-read for any executive facing a business crisis. Good luck with the launch!"
