Tools for Growth & Success
Boost Your Business with P.E.D.A.L.
Personal Evaluation, Development, and Leverage (P.E.D.A.L.) is the field-tested result of a cross-country bicycle ride that started in L.A. California and ended in New York, NY.
Tracy Williams had the businesses, the degrees, and participated in countless technical assistance programs. And still something wasn’t clicking.
The traditional playbook made sense on paper, but in real life, building a business felt like a constant battle. This struggle against time, access to information, resources, and the weight of doing everything the hard way was mentally and financially debilitating.
Every step forward was real, but costly. And in business, that steep learning curve can kill momentum and business.
Determined to figure this out, Tracy hopped on his bicycle and set off on a cross-country ride. Tracy stepped back to examine the barriers he and so many others kept hitting. What emerged from this long reflective ride was a new framework, P.E.D.A.L!
Inside, you’ll learn how to:

- Whether you’ve tried programs that didn’t deliver or you’ve been bootstrapping in silence, this book gives you a new kind of roadmap-one that finally matches the road most small businesses have been riding.

Fly & Believe
Fly & Believe
This take on the classic tale of the Eagle and the Chicken illustrates how a Rooster tricked an Eagle, meant to soar high in the sky, into thinking he was just a Chicken. This allowed his friends and family to keep him to themselves while benefiting from his unique talents and strengths. Using love and appealing to his vanity, the Rooster keeps the Eagle grounded until the Eagle himself realizes he was born to fly which would allow him to reach his true potential. Many of the tactics employed by the Rooster in this story may be unwittingly used by friends and family to convince us not to spread our wings. This parable illustrates how one's social environment can limit our possibilities and constrain us, whereas learning to fly can have the opposite effect.
