Meet Andrew Million | Business Strategy and Leadership Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrew Million and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrew, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I’ve actually been coaching and mentoring my entire career, but just didn’t realize it. We would build organizational goals and objectives, roll those down to department heads and leads. Then we would all work together to hit the targets. When one of us struggled, I’d hop in and we’d find a way to get through it. We would all find creative ways to improve financial results and customer experiences every day.

That really stuck with me. So much so that when a dear friend and mentor of mine stated ‘you should make this into a business’, I built a model and began executing against it.

It has not always been a smooth road. I had a really rough start. Within 8 months of starting, COVID hit. Literally had to go figure out how to network in person, but digitally for a year. We have a great network of other coaches and we shared ideas and got through it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a very experienced Finance professional with a proven ability to identify margin opportunities with strategic planning, building business cases, data analysis, budgeting, process optimization, revenue generation, and client retention. I’ve successfully executed financial performance improvements across multi-million-dollar portfolios for publicly held and award-winning companies, resulting in cost savings and revenue growth. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance, Certified Customer Experience Professional (CCXP) and Certified Behavioral Coach (CBC+).

What all that boils down to – I can help business owners get over the ‘growth hump’ and build companies that do not need to consume their lives but continue to create new wealth and jobs for the owners and employees.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We own a place in Northern New Mexico and it is one of the best places to take a family skiing or mountain biking. I grew up in Colorado, so I love being in the mountains. There may not be a ‘lot to do’, but that’s actually the point.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
