We believe in a vision that encompasses more than homes and lifestyles. We believe that each relationship we nurture creates a better home life, a better community, and a better industry, and it all starts with high standards of excellence, individually, while creating a collaborative environment that unifies common goals, enriches our clients experience, and adds value to the communities we serve.
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.” – Charles R. Swindoll
Work ethic is the greatest common denominator between all successful people, and the cornerstone of every great organization. Our conviction drives us to outwork the competition.
True leaders dedicate themselves to a lifelong learning journey. We pride ourselves on the constant pursuit of personal and professional growth, and are perpetually seeking to break the next comfort zone and find the next challenge.
“We have an innate desire to endlessly learn, grow, and develop. We want to become more than what we already are. Once we yield to this inclination for continuous and never-ending improvement, we lead a life of endless accomplishment and satisfaction.”
Priority Management is perhaps the single most important skill set to master in life. Because we believe that professional growth without personal growth is chaos, we strongly believe that ‘to live, to love, to learn, and to leave a legacy’ is the ultimate achievement.
Healthy competition drives performance. Strategic performance with service excellence drives success.
A true competitor will find a way to win and still maintain integrity along the journey of life.
“In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.” -Warren Buffett
“While you, the leader can teach many things, character is not taught easily to adults who arrive at your desk lacking it. Be cautious about taking on reclamation projects regardless of the talent they may possess. Have the courage to make character count among the qualities you seek in others.” -John Wooden
In order to reach a destination, be it the top of the mountain or the top of an industry, the focus must be centered around hitting a series of short term, tangible goals, while keeping the long term vision in sight at all times.
Being successful in business is one thing. Using your success as a tool to positively impact the world is another. We strive to do both and the great thing about giving is, it speaks everyone’s language.
“The companies that survive the longest are the ones that work out what they uniquely can give to the world– not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things soul.” -Charles Handy
“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.” -Lao-Tzu
When you start a hike, you notice how beautiful it must be at the top of the mountain. You also understand the trail won’t be easy the entire way but you press forward through difficult times believing that the view and experience is well worth the journey.
“No is a word on your path to Yes. Don’t give up too soon. Not even when well-meaning parents, relatives, friends, and colleagues tell you to get a real job. Your dreams are your real job.” -Joyce Spizer
“If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.” -Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
