    5 Takeaways from Archery for your construction business My first venture into the world of archery took place while I was still in high school. As I recall, our PE teachers chose a variety of sports and activities to keep those of us who were in our senior year interested.

It is a simple concept to understand, yet a devilishly difficult discipline to achieve. And, if we have a difficult time allowing God (you know – the guy who can do ANYTHING) to handle things for us, how much harder it is to allow people to take over the things we’re finding difficult to deal with. Yet, if you’re serious about guiding your construction c

    Getting Your Construction Company Ready for Company

    You know the story. Company’s coming – we need to get this place straightened up!
