Nugget of Knowledge
Work Ethic
"Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games." - Babe Ruth
As we grow our new guide in Southern Oregon and start working with our new team in Puget Sound we must continue to focus on the basics that helped get us here- customer service and networking. Being somewhat successful once, by no means guarantees our future success in any market. We still need to attend batting practice every week, even though we have previously hit a home run. The game changes and so do the pitchers. - Amy
