What Do You Stand For? Convert Your Company Conundrum Into Its Manageable Mission
How many lofty company mission statements have you read promising the kitchen sink such as? "We are a family business that maximizes profits and wealth, as well as a meritocracy that is focused on social responsibility."
Is your wealth goal competing with your goal of creating your legacy around social entrepreneurship? If you are wrestling with these conundrums, you are one of the 1000's of owners who are trying to do the right thing(s). With demands from your family, employees, customers and financial advisors, it all falls on your shoulders to decide what to do.

The Shale Gas Boom is Kicking BTU! What's new in the shale gas business? Gas prices have inched up and no drilling-related seismic disasters have happened just yet. However, the overall impact of labor shortages, safety needs and environmental regulations are creating problems that smart manufacturers are leveraging into opportunities. Ever since ISNetworld (a group that assists companies and organizations with contractor and supplier prequalification, management and monitoring) became the dominant third-party data administrator helping Tier 1 companies hire better and more intelligently, there have been higher standards for hiring skilled workers. Unfortunately, there is a growing chasm between the needs of the employers for skilled laborers and the capacity of the local workforce to fill the openings. Those manufacturers who have superior workers are booming.
