🎉 Today marks a special milestone as we celebrate Foley, Incorporated's one-year Go-Live anniversary! 🎉 A huge shoutout to Danielle Papenberg, Director of Organizational Development at Foley, Inc., for her outstanding leadership and dedication throughout this journey! Highlighting our recently released Journey to Success business case study, Danielle remarks, "We’re all working with Caterpillar. We’re all dealerships. We’re selling the same thing. But the inner workings of each organization are important. Even though we have so many similarities, our processes and culture can be completely different, and that’s an essential item to consider in the process." Here's to a year of growth, collaboration, and success. Cheers to many more achievements ahead! 🚀

Recently, Hagerty leaders from around the country gathered at our home base in City of Traverse City, Michigan City, Michigan, for a few days of face-to-face learning and camaraderie, which is incredibly valuable in this age of Zoom meetings and dispersed workforces. Hagerty is celebrating 40 years in business this year, so we spent a few moments reflecting on where we’ve been, but the bulk of our time was spent on where we’re going. Will the collectible car hobby continue to grow? And what will Hagerty’s role be? Our assessment: the future is incredibly bright for both Hagerty and the hobby. Sixty-seven million people in the U.S. describe themselves as car enthusiasts. They own 46 million collectible vehicles, worth more than a trillion dollars. And yet there is only one company whose sole purpose is to help them buy, sell, protect, and enjoy the cars they love. Thank you to everyone on One Team Hagerty. You are the engine that drives us forward. Also, thank you to our members, partners and everyone out there who simply can’t get enough of cars.   We’re honored to serve you. #hagerty #cars #classiccars #hgty #business #leadership #workplaceculture

Ask any sales or marketing professional… Launching new products and building new territories is not easy. Over a year ago my husband, Dean Peaple , joined this company to launch a new division of window coverings. Through operations and production challenges, changes in leadership and the minimal marketing support common with ‘startups’ - my husband never gave up! I have watched him be tenacious and creative, using common sense, guerilla tactics, and teamwork- always finding a way. I know the road is long, - and I admire my husbands patience and perseverance. When you work hard and see a reward with a Win like this- you have to celebrate! Most of us are so busy doing the work we do- we forget to take time to celebrate the wins. It’s as easy as 123… 1. Take a moment to reflect on your wins 2. Be proud of your accomplishments, 3. Share your gratitude with those that helped you achieve your goals. Celebrate the Wins!

Celebrating FIESTA - San Antonio's Spirit of Diversity & Strength! 🎉   It’s FIESTA! San Antonio, Texas is a city rich in culture and history, and the place we proudly call home at SideKick Operators.    FIESTA San Antonio began in 1891, rooted in tradition, honoring the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. It has since blossomed into an electrifying festival that spotlights our city's diverse cultures, contributing over $340 million to the local economy. It's not just a party; it's a reflection of the strength and work ethic that fortify the backbone of America. As we enjoy the fiesta, we're reminded of the power of community and the impact of unity in diversity. Sidekick Operators stands in solidarity with the enduring spirit of San Antonio, celebrating the rich cultural history that inspires our commitment to innovation, leadership, and success in essential-services industries. 🛠️💼   We are more than business leaders; we are part of a community that rises early, makes a difference, and embraces the work in teamwork. Let's celebrate FIESTA, where the spirit of San Antonio shines, fueling our mission to grow not only businesses, but legacies of teamwork, impact, and shared values.   Happy FIESTA, San Antonio! 🎈 #FIESTASanAntonio #SidekickOperators #Community #Diversity #BusinessGrowth #SanAntonioPride #EssentialServices Justin Steen Chris Galvan Phil Miner Chris Valletta Scott Odom Shawn Koval Beth Lloyd Lili Gil Valletta Bridgehead IT Summit Companies OWL Services The Miner Corporation

I recently made a mistake when celebrating a great month in our company.  We blew away our goal and I wanted to recognize our team. Instead of just congratulating our team for their great accomplishment, I threw in the dreaded "but" at the end of it. "but, next month will most likely be much different." There was no need for me to do this.  I intended to shield them from a possible letdown the following month since we always have a strong January. The "but" was not necessary at that time (and probably not at all). Celebrate your wins.  Recognize the success of your team - the other stuff can wait. A well-informed team already knows of the challenges that may lie ahead and is prepared to handle them. Let celebrating your wins stand on its own.  Do not dilute what your team accomplished. Interestingly, February came and they beat our target for that month as well.....and did it again in March.

Dave Resseguie is the real deal. He helped me shape the framework of my business. He was also integral in shifting my mindset from scarcity to abundance. #shoutout #testimonial #businessplan
