Greetings!
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the renowned modern architect of the early 20th century, said it best - " less is more." His mantra and approach to his work were equally as simple as they were calculated. I apply this same thought-process to business in the economy today, and more specifically, to our company in the commercial construction industry today.
What many would still refer to as a deplorable, perpetually sinking economy, can also be looked at from a different angle - a recession starting to turn the corner, albeit at a hare's pace. Whilethere will inevitably be more construction projects in 2011 than there were in 2010, those projects will probably still be smaller in size than previous years, as owners continue to look for efficiencies in cost and square footage. But, regardless of how many projects there are or how slowly the economy turns around, there is still work available. As a company, we are grateful that the opportunities exist and that we've been challenged to streamline our processes and make smart business decisions - and we have succeeded.
I ask that you remember this Christmas season to be thankful for what you do have - professionally and personally. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Sincerely,
Matt Seals |
