Business is Personal

As the year has been winding down, like so many of you, I’ve been taking some time to reflect and think about 2025.

2024 has been an awesome year for HL Group.  We’ve expanded revenues, added great resources, and advanced our plans.

One of the best things that showed up this year was the return on the investment in a positive and personal attitude with everyone – our employees, customers, prospects, and partners.  It wasn’t that this wasn’t always important.  However, in the past, we allowed outside distractions to impact our focus.

People are the Priority

This past year, we intentionally prioritized positive and personal relationships.  It doesn’t require any new skills, just not allowing outside noise to distract us.  The results have been amazing and a joy to experience.

This may sound like a strange focus for a software company, but from my perspective, it’s an important part of our business.

The success we enjoy with happy and invested relationships is not only easy but contributes greatly to that success.  Our business has had the same employees, partners, and customers for years – some even decades.  Having a relationship where you’re working together for a common success makes it all the more rewarding.

A Transferable Result

As I mentioned earlier, this didn’t require any new learning curve to achieve, just an intentional focus on making people a priority – from the top down, internally.  If you can focus on this behavior, I believe you will find similar success to us in 2025.

Thank you for being part of our 2024.  We wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday season and a very successful 2025!
