Interview with Tri-Lite Builders

What a great interview with company president Linda Minde. Here's an example of a company that does well by doing great things in the community. From a remodeled bathroom for an individual with limited mobility to a home for a family through Habitat for Humanity, Tri-Lite Builders has really earned the numerous awards it has received over the years. I walked away with a great case study of a successful woman-owned business who fundamentally "changed an industry."

New Appointment

Confirmed appointment with A. Russell, business coach and consultant in Gilbert. Looking forward to the meeting on Monday. I checked out his company's website and although it has some interesting items, I'm wondering how focusing on the medical practice segment has helped the company. Also still reading the two books I mentioned below and continue making progress analyzing the previous interviews.

Progress..

Interviews went well last week. Only one little glitch with my appointment with Joe Johnston. I'm rescheduling for next week. I received another contact from John Zupon at the Gilbert Economic Development Office -- looks interesting. It's Alonzo Russell, a business coach / consultant focusing on medical practices. The rest of the time, I'm spending time going over the interviews, identifying theme, common patterns of reasons for success / failure. I'm also reading when I get some free time, the Billion Dollar Lessons and How the Mighty Fall. Both excellent background material for the project. Click on the titles for more!
