About the book
About The 80/20 Company
The 80/20 Company turns 80/20 into a practical sequence for running the whole business: Segment. Simplify. Zero-Up. Grow. Bill Canady shows CEOs, owners, and leadership teams how to identify the customers and products that earn the money, remove costly complexity, and put people and resources behind the profitable core.
Across a thousand days, the book connects that first diagnosis to operating discipline, growth decisions, acquisition discipline, and buyer readiness. Decision gates at Days 100, 365, and 730 test what the actual results support. Hollis Fluid Components, a fictional composite company, makes the mechanics visible through worked examples.
This standalone operating manual has sixteen chapters and a separate companion Field Guide with 43 worksheets. The aim is to build a company worth buying, whether you ultimately sell it or keep it.
