What some of our clients are saying
Barney, Thank YOU for the opportunity. I feel fortunate to have joined an organization who is utilizing your services. Their investment in me, and providing me with a resource such as yourself to better my future is an amazing opportunity!
.What an amazing month we have had. We successfully scheduled and attended three sales meetings, three cash flow meetings, and our very first profit & loss meeting! I am very optimistic entering October and the beginning of our last quarter. We managed to keep material costs down, payroll down, and subcontractor expenses down. Our sales team responded to goal oriented meetings and production put out amazing numbers. We showed a profit of more than 25% for September. Our month was so great that it brought us up to a 1.6% loss for the year up from a 4.5% loss at the end of August. We are almost current for the quarter with FICA's and are current with sales tax. I feel very lucky to have such a strong team! You guys have done everything that I have asked and then some. Keep up the hard work! I can't wait to see you guys again to show you what we have done and to discuss future changes that we need to make.
Barney. Thanks again for a great full day of very positive
communication and creative meeting results.
Congratulations on your business success! From
working with your mother cleaning buildings as a boy after she was widowed, to
earning your undergraduate degree at Texas A&M and your Masters of
Business at Texas, writing your master thesis on building services, then working
for thirty years to build your company into one of the largest building service
businesses in the nation with 10,000 employees, to finally selling it as part of
your exit strategy, you have a remarkable business story to share with others.
Barney, your vision and determination created wealth and jobs for tens of
thousands of people who worked for you and with you. Entrepreneurs like you are what have made America
great.
I must say the session was extremely successful yesterday. The feedback from the participants of what they hope to and did gain from the position profiles was tremendous. I recall the following comments:
"helps me to understand my role
and how I fit"
"links the departments
together?
"if I know what I
should achieve, it will help me focus on what I am
supposed to do"
"If I am doing something that is time consuming yet not part of the critical few, I can bring this to my supervisor"
The planning session helped link
the activities by department to the job descriptions.

BSCAI Review
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
