Grea...Yonelle Baptiste, MBA • Via linkedin<br />Chrissi,<br />Great post. I can relate to some of your experiences and yes working in the rain or in below freezing temperature can be very trying at times. However when the job gets done successfully, and your team feels proud of the work the've accomplish, it's worth it. I always reflect on the experiences I went through and look at the lessons learned. <br />Chrissi, just like you, I have started my own company last year, so if there is any you would like to share as a result of building your own company please feel free.<br /><br />YonelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199329263541247373.post-78032716554045945352013-02-22T12:55:14.768-08:002013-02-22T12:55:14.768-08:00Chrissi,

Your eloquent description has captured the daily roller coaster ride that we consider normal. <br />The design & construction business is challenging, maddening, and very satisfying when you get it right. <br />It's worth it.<br />Thanks,<br />JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
