Very intriguing insight. What you said is something that I wish every person in business would learn: you are your brand and you must strategize how you are going to grow your business. Then once it's established, you need to make plans for expansion and optimizing your market. I'm looking forward to learning more in your workshops. [One new concept or idea that I learn at your workshop could be just what my business needs to increase sales and customer satisfaction.] Thank you. I have never heard of the 5-15-80 business rule.

The University ought to be an example for other academic institutions that aim to uplift the value of education and the quality of life at the same time. They only do it with the help of the procurement system. Great job! I think that the University of Virginia’s goals in procurement are very noble and very selfless.
