Most business owners will start 2026 the same way they ended 2025. These 10 books won't let that happen to you.

Out of 80 books read this year, 10 of them fundamentally changed how Well-Oiled is doing business. These weren't just good reads. They were operational shifts. They're the ones that make you uncomfortable enough to change something.

What these books will do for you:

• Show you what to stop doing, not what to add to your plate.

• Teach you how to ask "What can only I do?" and cut everything else.

• Help you build systems that answer questions so you don't have to.

• Turn your team into leaders instead of order-takers.

• Make you realize you've been hiring for roles before knowing what kind of company you're building.



Swipe through for the full breakdown on each book, what it actually teaches, and which one to read first based on where you're stuck right now.

Most businesses are 6 months into a mistake they haven't noticed yet.

The team is busy. The budget is moving. Work is getting done.

But nothing is compounding.


Here's why: problems are being solved in the wrong order.

Marketing gets hired before messaging works. Systems get built before there's a repeatable process. Teams grow while positioning is still unclear.

The Result? Capable business owners burn through their money, not from lack of talent, but because nobody showed them the sequence.

There's always 1 problem that, when solved first, makes 10 others disappear. At Well-Oiled, we call it the Golden Domino.

How to find yours in 10 minutes:

Question 1: The Brain Dump Write down the 5 problems keeping you up at night.

Question 2: The Leverage Test. For each problem, ask: "If I solved THIS problem first, how many others become easier or vanish completely?"

Question 3: The Dependency Check Ask: "What has to be true BEFORE I can solve this effectively?" If the answer is "nothing," you found it. If the answer is "I need X first," X is your Golden Domino.

Question 4: The Hiring Clarity Test Ask: "Would solving this make my next hire 10x clearer?" If yes, it's strategic. If no, it's just tactical.

The problem that passes all 4 filters is your Golden Domino.

When we implemented this framework at Well-Oiled, everything changed. We stopped burning budget on solutions that couldn't work yet. Teams stopped redoing finished work. Momentum compounded instead of stalling.

The difference between a $500K business and a $2M business isn't effort. It's sequence.

Swipe through the carousel for the full Golden Domino Framework, real examples of wrong sequence versus right sequence, and how to never miss your Golden Domino again.

Then come back and tell me: What problem are you solving right now that might not be the right first move?

Most business owners will start 2026 the same way they started 2025.
Overwhelmed. Reactive. Trapped.

Here's why:
They rely on motivation instead of systems.
Motivation fades. Systems compound.

Before 2026 starts, fix these 6 systems:

1. Block your White Space Weeks Schedule 4 weeks for strategic thinking. One per quarter. Non-negotiable.

2. Audit what you're tolerating What broken process are you living with? Fix it or kill it in Q1.

3. Document your Golden Domino What's the ONE system that would make 10 other problems disappear? That's your Q1 focus.

4. Kill the meetings that don't matter Cancel 30% of your recurring meetings. Your calendar is your life.

5. Set your operator up to win Give them a Q1 brief: priorities, success metrics, decision authority.

6. Choose your 2026 identity "In December 2026, my business runs without me for 2 weeks straight."

Your biggest problem isn't a lack of systems. It's solving problems in the wrong order.

I learned this the expensive way: $150K and six months wasted.
Just dropped the Golden Domino Framework: how to identify the first domino that topples all the others. The Golden Domino is the problem that removes the bottleneck that prevents every other solution from working. Most 7-figure owners are firefighting. The best ones know which fire to put out first.

The fastest way to kill a business? Hire people before building systems.

Most business owners hire specialists into chaos. A marketer who doesn't know what to market. A salesperson with no clear process. An admin who just adds more coordination work.

Then revenue stays flat while headcount climbs.

The issue isn't the people. It's what they're walking into.

Build the system first. Then hire people to run it. Not the other way around.

Audit what's broken. Build the process. Test it. Document what works. Then hire someone into clarity.

If headcount is growing but problems aren't getting solved, the issue isn't hiring. It's infrastructure.

What's one system that needs to be built before the next hire?

Most business owners I meet are confusing motion with progress.

They're not building businesses. They're building prisons.

Just dropped the framework that changed everything for me: 3 principles of Slow Productivity that took me from 80-hour weeks to 30, without touching revenue.

After using this with hundreds of 7 and 8-figure business owners, I can tell you: slow productivity beats hustle culture every single time.

If you're stuck being the operator instead of the CEO, watch this.
