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

"We're NOT a Cinderella, because when we play our A-game, we can be the best team on the floor." ~ Jack Gohlke, Oakland Golden Grizzles Guard after upsetting # 3 Seeded Kentucky Wildcats in last evening's NCAA Tournament. What is a "Cinderella" in Sports and is there a Parallel to the Logistics Industry? In sports, a "Cinderella" team refers to an underdog unexpectedly excelling and overcoming the odds to succeed. This term captures the imagination of fans and media, portraying these teams as unexpected successes in the grand tapestry of competition. However, to the athletes themselves and those within the team, the label "Cinderella" doesn't resonate. They understand the immense work, grit, and belief in one another that brought them to this point. Their journey isn't a fairy tale; it's the result of hard, consistent effort and unwavering determination. This concept finds a parallel in the logistics industry, particularly within our team at Rhode Sense. It's not about magical transformations but about the relentless hard work, detailed planning, and teamwork that goes into our efforts. In logistics, as in sports, success is not just about overcoming visible challenges. It's about the countless hours of preparation, the attention to detail, and the collective belief that no obstacle is insurmountable. At Rhode Sense, we embody this in every project we undertake. We don't wait for a fairy godmother; we create our own destiny, one delivery at a time. Remember, a Cinderella story is only so to the outside world. To those who live it, it's a testament to their commitment and hard work. In the spirit of Rhode Sense, we continue to operate by our guiding motto: "Where there's a road, we'll find a way."

💯 My friends at Grainger Canada have this mantra, “For the ones who get it done”. They understand they’re not selling to everyone … and they also understand that’s a very good thing. 🔥When Andrew and I give our trainings, they’re interactive. We want to uncover what’s standing in the way and help sales professionals take action because “when all is said and done, more gets said than done.” 🙌🏼 We are cheerleading the ones who value getting it done! Many don’t … Community Settlement Group, LLC Christy Quick Scott M. Breza, Esq. and their team #GetItDone 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 #dmvrealestate #dcrealestate #virginiarealestate #marylandrealestate #titleinsurance #titlecompany #titleinsurance #fnffamilyofcompanies #fidelityfirepower #strategicpartnership #salescoaching #leadershiptraining #businessacceleration #attitudeofleadership #keynotespeaker #realestateindustry #energy4sales #hangingwiththehoopers #timspins

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: our ExperienceMakers® are second to none, and the proof is in the pudding. Before we settle into the new year, we want to recognize our NAPeople for all their hard work in 2023 that — spoiler alert — led us to achieve historical profits through operations. From leasing to development to marketing and everything in between, it was another banner year for NAPA, and this one is going to be even better! Now without further ado, we present our 2023 Year in Review: https://lnkd.in/eZw5BA-a

Happy 1st MBO anniversary to River Capital equity portfolio business Barons Contract Furniture - can’t believe it’s been a year already!! It's been great to work with all the team at Baron's, including Managing Director Garry Smith and Chair Gary Lasham. As outlined in the post below, there’s been a massive amount achieved in what is a relatively short period, and the future looks equally exciting as the business continues to deliver on its growth opportunities. And you? Are you like Garry, an MD in a North West based SME business you wish to acquire? Or do you own an SME and are considering your exit plans which may potentially include passing the business on to your management team? Always happy to talk and see if we can help .... #fuellingambition #MBO #investment #growth #equity

Not Business Related But Every Year I Like To Pay My Respect RIP

Here’s to the next 75 years.

Here’s to the next 75 years.

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
