❚ ❚ Do more of what you do best and less of what you don’t do so well. This has been a recurring theme in my writing, talks, consulting engagements, and life! Spend your time doing what you do best versus trying to turn around the stuff that isn’t doing so well. This applies to individual offices, markets you serve, disciplines you provide – and your own personal self. Always worth some introspection to see whether or not you’re spending time capitalizing on your opportunities or, instead, solving problems and put- ting out fires. There’s a big difference. And it affects your profitability. ❚ ❚ Get better accounting and reporting. One of the ways companies in the AEC indus- try lose money is by simply not understanding what is coming in and where it is going. Good accounting and financial reporting is beyond crucial. It isn’t a luxury that you do if you can afford it. It is a must that every business needs to survive and prosper – i.e., to make a profit. Make sure you are asking the right questions – and getting the right answers to those questions. I could go on but I’m out of time. Enjoy your summer, folks! It’s here!
