TimOConnor

Tim O’Connor is an EOS Implementer, and owner of the Terraform Group in Atlanta, GA.

Tim’s parents were entrepreneurs who owned multiple businesses, including a private investigation agency. He claims he couldn’t get away with anything in high school because his parents would always find out. But, he credits his parents with modeling for him what it means to work for yourself and provide financial security for your family as an entrepreneur and business owner.

Tim was a PGA professional and Master Golf Instructor for Arnold Palmer before he moved to Silicon Valley in 1999 where he built a sales division from Fortune 500 clients. After moving back to Atlanta, he and his wife started a company of their own where they managed to turn a $2,500 loan into over $4MM in retail sales worldwide. That’s were he says he truly reconnected with the entrepreneurial spirit that his parents had instilled in him all those years ago.

Eventually, Tim left the family business to lead sales and marketing for a Fortune 500 company where sales grew from $240MM to $260MM in 18 months. Despite those results he realized his true calling was to make a difference in the lives of entrepreneurs. That’s when he heard about EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System and immediately saw the power of EOS and how it gets leadership teams Vision, Traction, and Healthy. Tim has since made it his mission to share this life changing system with as many entrepreneurs as possible, which is why he is here today.

Connect with Tim on Twitter, and follow Terraform Group on LinkedIn and Facebook.
