Do Any or All of These Sound Like You?
I Can't Keep Up
I always feel like my business is in chaos, and things are always falling through the cracks. I have little to no time for myself or my family.
My Employees Aren't Great
I am unable to find enough great employees who are good initiators, work hard, and can be left independently to handle a job.
I Can’t Take a Vacation
I can't find freedom from the constant stress my business is bringing. I feel like I'm losing control, and things will go in the wrong direction and fall apart.
Here's the Catch
Your mindset is the biggest barrier stopping you from growing and keeping you undervalued.
A lack of core values such as communication with co-workers, trust, a safe environment, teamwork, and a growth system is holding you back from success and freedom.
With a fixed mindset, you can seldom grow 5% a year.
fixed mindset
A business with a fixed mindset assumes that employees have the same set of capabilities they had when they started the job, and those capabilities will not change. They also believe that entrepreneurs and leaders are born with a special sense of business that employees just don’t have.

GROWTH MINDSET
A business with a growth mindset assumes that employees can learn, grow, and develop new capabilities. Therefore, leaders in growth-minded businesses invest in employees, lean systems, and continuous improvement.

Hi! I'm John.
An ex-tax lawyer, type A-er, and now a value creation advisor obsessed with identifying malfunctions of the businesses and making them realize their full potential.
I help businesses outperform and unlock their value by transitioning them from a silo-based environment to teamwork by building trust, communication, and respect among employees.

Here's Straight from My Past Happy Clients
EFFECT HOME BUILDERS
To: John Mill, Intelligent Work
Working with John was transformative for our custom home building company. Following the Intelligent Work Proven Process, he helped us identify key areas of focus and we did a deep dive into each of these areas. We now have meaningful sales conversations that are much more effective. We also implemented Lean concepts which optimize our people, resources, effort, and energy to create more value for our clients. What a difference this has made.
Thank you John!
