In the last 12 months what accomplishment are you most proud of? I am most proud that together as a team we were able to stay dedicated and implement the EOS process. Change is never easy, and most people are reluctant to change, but instead stick with what is easy or comfortable. Unfortunately, what is easy and comfortable will never enable individuals and companies to grow. The fact that we were able to stick together as a team and implement what many would consider to be an extremely difficult task is very rewarding and I am extremely proud.
