A Fun Place to Work

A Fun Place to Work

Can you have fun at work and be productive at the same time? Blinds.com sure does think so. Last week I visited the open house for their new location and I can truly say they have set up a workplace of fun.

His final thought was that he’s always wanted to work in a magic shop and the new space fulfills that wish. Now the entire Blinds.com team can strive to create magic for their customers as they continue their work to be the world’s number one online window coverings store.

Why Valuation Matters

The other day, a client asked why valuation matters. It seems like a lengthy process that is complex and differs in each case.
