Defining Who You Are NOT

A peer of ours went on a Viking Cruise Lines trip, and found that one of the ways Viking as a company defines who they ARE is by clearly stating who they are NOT. In an industry where far too many contractors try to be all things to all people, this exercise could certainly prove interesting.

Three new Contractor Business Boot Camp classes are starting in 2024 – Feb 22 in Dallas, April 11 in Raleigh and August 8 in Denver.
