FINDING Freedom

Freedom means different things for different people:

For the owner-manager, it means freedom from day-to-day responsibilities and a transition into an investor-advisor role.

For the managers, freedom means stepping up into a leadership role with real decision-making capacity, and an ownership stake in the business.

For the employees, freedom is meaningful work that is secure, pays well, and provides for retirement.

10x-ing value makes this all possible.

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.

In a fixed mindset business growth seldom exceeds 5% a year. The thought of 10x-ing the value of the business seems impossible.

10X-ING VALUE

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.

The math behind 10x-ing Value is conservative and straightforward, for an explanation please review our post “How Does 10x-ing Value Work in an Owner-Managed Business?” 

This is Day 1. A growth-minded business sees 10x-ing value as a starting point, a point at which everyone in the business can find freedom.

To infinity and beyond 😊

TESTIMONIALS

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!

Along the journey, we uncovered some really great and unforeseen nuggets. One of the things we discovered was that our engineering staff worked better in teams. We watched in amazement as their performance went way beyond expectations. I am very proud of our teams here at Pacline.

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS

SCOTT KING, THE BREAKTHROUGH HUB

The Breakthrough Hub is a small-group coaching platform for owner-managers and key employees who want to get unstuck and be unstoppable.

The challenge for owner-managed businesses is the cost and the time required for coaching that will stick. The Breakthrough Hub solves that problem through group coaching and Zoom meetings.

Scott King, Founder of the Breakthrough Hub says there are research studies reported by Harvard Business Review showing that facilitated peer-to-peer group coaching can generate leadership development impacts that exceed what's possible in one-on-one coaching. 

Intelligent Work has collaborated with The Breakthrough Hub to offer a course called “Intelligent Work: Construction and the Trades.” This course shows you how to reduce waste and increase profit as well as many other excellent construction management practices. 

We will be offering courses to different industry sectors over time.

ANDREW LEMOINE, CERTIFIED EOS IMPLEMENTER™

Andrew LeMoine is passionate about shifting businesses to a higher level of performance and believes that when people succeed, businesses succeed. 

 Andrew’s core focus is to help entrepreneurial leadership teams get more from their business by implementing the EOS,  Entrepreneurial Operating System, proven in tens of thousands of real-life businesses just like yours. EOS has simple tools that help leaders get better at three things: Vision, Traction, and Healthy. Getting better at these three things means growing in the six key components of EOS: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction.  

Intelligent Work has benefited tremendously from Andrew’s entrepreneurial leadership. Along the way, Andrew has helped us design a unique Proven Process that starts with Improvement Diligence. Working collaboratively with Andrew, we have proven that with the right client, introducing Intelligent Work 6-12 months after a business team has started their EOS journey is an excellent complement that significantly accelerates the value creation process.

WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us…
And, as we let our own light shine                                        We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”                                                                                                                                       Marianne Williamson
