12. Gear-Up – The “UnBook” “Gear Up” is a framework that will help you to transform your idea into a high-potential venture in real time. Our Top 10 gears are the most critical components to launch a high-potential company. Behind each gear is a set of models, tools, and frameworks. Everything in this book and the virtual wall behind it has been tested in the trenches by entrepreneurs around the world. The gears are all connected to each other. You know what that means! They all have spin, they have to be in sync, and they have to be connected. Gear Up is based on over 75 years of experience in working with and teaching two generations of global entrepreneurs.
