What happens when we are not present
We finished up Search with our 8 new hires this week.
This will be 1 of probably 4 recruit classes that we have in the next year.
Between growth and retirements we are looking at putting on 40 new hires.

We say that we want to leave it better than we found it. Well starting the next generation off on the right foot is a great way to start.

Boy what a week it has been. It was a busy kelly week. And I learned some valuable lessons. I have decided to take on real estate as a side job. So I'm learning something new which makes me uncomfortable. It tends to also stress me out because there is not enough time in the day to learn everything.
