Today my company, The Raven Group, Inc. enters its 15th year in business. And on a recent trip to Orlando, my husband and co-owner, Bill, and I were asked how we stayed in business this long.
The answers came easy to us so I thought I would share them with you below. They are in no particular order.
1. Surround yourself with great people:
clients, employees, colleagues and friends
2. Be thankful for all you have
3. Continue to add new business while retaining
your existing clientele
4. Be involved in at least one group or
organization outside of your company
5. Have a mentor or confidant
6. Stay current of trends in and out of your
industry
7. Embrace change
8. Examine your P&L monthly
9. Fulfill your commitments with honesty and
integrity
Since we came up with 9, what one do you have to round out the list to 10? Please let me know what you would add to our list.
To all of my readers, thank you! You are the number one reason we are celebrating today.
