I have been fortunate to be self-employed for my entire professional life. In doing so, I have had the opportunity to grow businesses in the grocery, gasoline, restaurant, oilfield seismic, oilfield building construction, digital printing, and now in the healthcare industries. The commonalities include training and grooming management talent, customer service, doing what you say, when you say you are going to do something, becoming a niche specialist, establish strong financial reporting, and treating employees with respect. In short, pay attention to the details and put systems in place to replicate success. Set your employees up for winning.Don't ever forget to pay back to your community and it's institutions. This is something I have practiced over the years. The dividends are remarkable!
