Everyone Wins

When I determined to start my own business, I also made the commitment to always create "Win/Win" solutions. As a survivor of Corporate America, I wanted no more Win/Lose scenarios in my workplace.

Well, August 2006 is the best example of a Win/Win scenario I can recall. As I posted two weeks ago, our most senior project manager was on sabbatical for the 31 days of August. I approached the month with some trepidation and concern about being able to handle everything with such a new staff.

Well, all fears are layed to rest -- forever!

We closed the month of August, 2006 with revenues up 72% versus August 2005!!!!! Our expenses were considerably lower than one year ago, meaning that profits were up as well as revenues. We succeeded with flying colors, satisfying the needs of all our clients.

The staff, which I would now consider proven versus green, is more confident, capable and very proud of themselves -- as they should be. This amazing team of professionals pulled together; their communication was clearer, their daily commitment to the tasks at hand unflagging and their attitudes and senses of humor stayed high. We had fun, we made our clients lives simpler, and . . .we made money!!

If that's not a Win/Win, I don't know what is. Way to go, Team!!!
