Things are real messy right now, but we can all get safely to our destinations if we keep our cool.

Our businesses need the same care we are giving ourselves to remain healthy and viable in the year ahead!

Know your purpose, intent, and philosophy of business, but be willing to change if it becomes prudent to do so.

Chairman and CEO of Salas O’Brien, an employee-owned firm with no corporate headquarters that provides building and facility solutions to clients across the United States.

Many people in this business will say they agree with this idea, yet the people doing the hiring rarely do it.

When times get tough, you have two choices: You can cut expenses and eliminate all investments, or you can double down on making improvements in your business.

Marketing starts with identifying who your target clients are. Your entire business needs to be focused on them.

Answer these questions and many more, or you will, at best, be a decent copy of a firm or firms that do as well or better than you already do.

Best practices may be safe, but they won’t differentiate your firm. Make these changes and your firm will stand out.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners have fundamentally different views on the opportunity each has in front of them.

Chairman and CEO of Nabholz (Conway, AR), a 1,200 person multi-discipline, employee-owned firms whose name has been synonymous with integrity since its founding in 1949.

What your firm becomes should be the result of a plan, of deliberate efforts. You can and should “design” your design firm.
