This Week At Contracting Business
Interactive September 3, 2008 |
This is the second in a series of four articles written by Matt
Michel that discuss what we can learn from the accomplishments of one of
the greatest Olympic athletes of our time, Michael Phelps.
6. With a Team, You Accomplish More.As an individual, Phelps is a
great swimmer. Yet, he could not have surpassed Spitz’ record without
team efforts. Phelps knows it. He said, “Without the help of my
teammates this isn't possible. I was able to be a part of three relays
and we were able to put up a solid team effort and we came together as
one unit.”

A quick look at the Opening & Closing sessions at this year’s
event:
OPENING GENERAL SESSION
The Blueprint for Contractors
George Hedley
A “Construction Entrepreneur of the Year” award winner shares his
proven step-by-step system to get your company to work the way you want
it to. You can produce consistent results every time without your full
time supervision. Run your business like an owner: well rewarded and in
control, instead of an over-worked, under-paid, hands-on, do-everything,
make-every-decision, stressed-out control freak! Transform your company
into a systemized and organized growing business that delivers
bottom-line results, builds equity and wealth, and gives you freedom.
