Setting the proper expectations for people and projects means the difference between satisfaction or disappointment, failure or success.

I’ve learned that when working with your team it seems to be best to have two levels of expectations:

Blood, Sweat, and Tears – What it takes to make a project successful

The words blood, sweat, and tears come to mind a lot when I am working on a new product, a new model, or a new business initiative. When any of us walk down a new path and attempt to create something new there is a lot that is required.

Customer Experience

In business there are many critical areas to be focused on. I feel the customer’s experience with your company is definitely one of the most important parts of running a successful business and deserves constant attention. I was thinking about this today and I had three very different “customer experience” experiences. Each one gave me a very clear feeling at the end of a short time and it reminded me of how important the customer’s experience is when interacting with any business. . . . → Read More: Customer Experience
