The Journey

A journey of epic proportions begins with one step at a time. From a business in complete disarray to a new business capturing all the essence of the community and putting every ounce of decency and integrity for everyone to see. This success is a well traveled road. As consultants on this new project our team had the unique opportunity to start from a tear down to a complete re-haul. 
The owners of this project are united in so many ways yet very different as personalities, often tend to be a blend of differences and a commitment to the highest level. When you have these synergistic effects, great happenings occur. The team they have assembled are as committed as they are, not often do you see this level of unity.

Principles of Excellence are defined
Integrity; adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
Commitment;  the act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself
Failure Leads to Success, allowing failures to show you the way to success 
Ownership; the state or fact of being an owner
Speak with Good Purpose; think first of the reactions and then act

Flexibility; capable of being bent, usually without breaking; easily
Balance;  mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment
This is it; moving with the end in mind

As this project moves forward we are starting to see how when you keep your goals and your commitment level to the highest possible standards, the result is visible for everyone to see and feel. Updates and photos will follow when this is completed. My only concern is keeping our team and everyone else on point until we have completed. Always keep the end in mind!

Seek out Counsel

When deciding on a particular project to tackle the decisions that you must make should be with the end game in mind. When we decide on the projects that really need our attention, are our goals fairly within reason to achieve completion? Laying down a level of commitment is always my largest concern. Are the principles willing to take solid advice, evaluate it and then act upon them. That's why I always select a team that looks at the project and then we all discuss what is plausible to achieve the best results. The team that we created are seasoned professionals that know their area of expertise.That is something that is really important in seeking out advice of the professionals in specific fields. Make your decisions based on facts and good probability that the decision you are making are relatively solid ones based on you seeking good counsel. When you discuss with a team the issue at hand, something really positive comes out of it, then you have the facts not the assumptions. This process is a good way for all owners and operators to utilize and follow thru decisions that are monumental or that need your attention. Always have the end in mind.
