| 2010 Year In Review |
|
How do you remember 2010? This short video reminds us of some of the most memorable events of 2010 throughout the world. I'll remember 2010 as the year in which Jan and I became empty nesters. I really didn't like it at first and still miss our kids, but there are so many things to look forward to because of it....cash flow for instance.
2010 was the best year for Reata since I started it 6 years ago. Our revenue was higher than previous years and I can truly say that it was because of our clients and friends who referred us to their friends and clients. That's reassuring because it tells me that we must be doing something right to be trusted like that.
What specific events do you remember from 2010 that had the greatest impact on you, your family and/or your business?
More importantly, what have we learned that will better prepare us for 2011?
