Build a Culture That Drives Cashflow.

Trust, engagement, and alignment are not intangible—they’re measurable. The BITE7 Framework gives you the tools to create a culture that attracts the right people, repels the wrong ones, and performs with precision.

Most businesses have a system. But people problems persist.

You’ve Got the Tools, But Not the Trust
Operating systems like EOS® are powerful—but trust breakdowns still block momentum.

Engagement Feels Slippery
You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Culture shouldn’t be guesswork.

The Wrong People Stick Around
Disengaged team members cost more than they produce. BITE7 helps you attract and retain better.

"Simple, measurable, actionable."

“I want to highlight Gino Wickman’s endorsement of this book and process. Gino is the master of simplifying that which is complex, getting to the root of the issue. His endorsement is a nod to Walt creating something that is simple, measurable, and actionable.

“Businesses are naturally complex and, as you grow and add people, it becomes exponentially more complicated as each individual brings their own flavor to your culture. In Attract or Repel, Walt has simplified that complexity by providing a simple recipe to mix and harmonize all the flavors. It is the Seven Critical Needs and BITE Framework that any entrepreneurial leader can use to make their organization more efficient, effective, and enjoyable!”

—Joe Paulsen, Expert EOS Implementer
