Business Partners

A friendship may not survive a partnership. Keep in mind John D. Rockefeller's famous words: "A friendship founded on business is a good deal better than a business founded on friendship."

One of the most exciting aspects of our business is that as we grow and develop we form these business partnerships.  The best part about the business partners that we do develop is that we do get the chance to gain a friend in the process.

We have gotten off to our best week ever and I couldn't be more excited or more proud to watch these people develop both personally and professionally.

Steve Jobs Quote

Just wanted to share my favorite Steve Jobs quote.

"The only way to be truly satisfied is to do great work.  The only way to do great work is to love what you do.  The only way to love what you do is to be passionate about it"  - Steve Jobs

I love the fact that here at Pan Global we are passionate about what we do, love and have been doing great work!

A very sensitive issue

At this point everyone has heard of what happened at Penn State.  The article here from INC.com raises some really good questions as to what would your employees do in business situations. 

New Website

The official website is up.  After a lot of hard work and effort it is done being under construction and we are now online.  Check it out at http://www.panglobalconsulting.com/

Going Global

I love to think about expansion.  While for us going truly global may not happen this year or the next.  We will certainly be expanding to new markets in the US in the next 6-10 months.  I'm still holding on to the dream of running an office in Singapore #4 on the list.

The other top three choices could be a lot of fun too.  

Goal Setting

Goal setting is something that we teach from day one.  In fact it's one of the first things someone learns when they first step in to the office.  How can you be successful if you have no way of measuring that success.  This is a great article on goal setting and it's great to see system's that we use and teach re-enforced in other arenas.  Check out the article here.
