Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) Implementation
John consistently searches for ways to streamline operations in his own business. He understands that doing so produces better results for clients. Moreover, it keeps them happy.
In 2020, Mr. Milikowsky began Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) implementation. This system takes apart each task that needs to be done for the clients and for the business and then allocates those tasks to the employee who has both the passion and competance for completing that task.
The office at Milikowsky Tax Law has seen extraordinary results internally after the implementation of EOS. Furthermore, the client cases have seen even better results. The office works more efficiently, and employee satisfaction reflects these positive changes. In short, the clients and employees at Milikowsky Tax Law are happy.

Additionally: As an entrepreneur, John is involved in the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). The organization supports hundreds of people worldwide divided into several different chapters. The forums that create each chapter are divided into various companies that work in entirely different spaces. John’s forum is composed of an entrepreneur who makes HR posters, another who makes fish tanks for larger aquatic centers like SeaWorld, and more.
Oftentimes in his EO meetings, John hears, “Wow! Tax is just so boring.” But in reality- it’s not. John views tax as a means to get a result. His office assists clients by either getting out of a criminal indictment or uncovering that they, in fact, do not owe the additional taxes.

Through implementing EOS (Traction) and participating in peer-to-peer advisory groups like EO, the team at Milikowsky tax law is always getting better. That means happier team members, happier leadership and happier clients. everybody wins.
