Our Culture
We believe in adopting best practices: While we are not shy about blazing our own trails, we also understand that chasing our tails in an attempt to reinvent a good thing that already exists is a futile exercise that is neither productive nor desireable.
Toward that end, we have adopted the best existing values and principles of culture available. Our culture is, therefore, comprised of the total collection of all the values and principles mentioned - in their entirety - at the following source:

27 Things I've Learned in 27 Years of Business (by Dan Gilbert)
27: Don't get distracted by people who want you to review the receipts for the paintbrushes. Your job is to paint.
26: Building anything great is messy.
25: The one who tells you there is food on your face is your friend.
24: The price of knowing is often way too high.
23: Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. (ThanksAlbert Einstein!)
22: Spreadsheets are for measuring the past, not the future. Remember, 57.392% of statistics are made up on the spot.
21: The more you give, the more you get. It's as simple as that.
20: Winning on the hard stuff does not make the easy stuff easy.
19: It's not so frickin' funny when it's you, is it?
18: There is no better joy than helping people around you go to levels higher than they ever thought they could.
17: Working longer hours does not automatically make you more successful. Working smarter does.
16: People who are constantly negative, pessimistic and cynical are not spewing their venom towards you or your ideas. They are talking about themselves. Never forget that.
15: The little things DO matter. Especially to people.
14: Think big, huge, large, enormous, immense, jumbo, walloping, gigantic, king-sized, mammoth, massive, thundering. You have to think anyway... so why not?
13: Try to please everyone all of the time, and you will end up pleasing no one most of the time.
12: Be curious.
11: Any ounce of energy you spend regretting mistakes you made in the past is taking away energy you need from doing things right in the present.
By Ralph Waldo Emerson: Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
10: Nothing great and long-lasting is built overnight, but you MUST take the first step NOW.
9: Appreciate everything.
8: Light yourself "on fire" and many people will join your mission.
7: I never learned anything talking.
6: Thinking (going deep) about problems, challenges, new ways of doing things and creativity is one of THE hardest things you will ever do. It also will bring you the finest results.
5: There is always a way to turn a problem into an opportunity. Find it.
4: Some people WILL NEVER get it. Get them out of your team, club, house, life, etc... and both of you will be happier.
3: If you believe tomorrow will be even more exciting than today, then you have discovered what passionreally means.
2: Nothing clarifies like clarity.
1: When you love what you do, there is no such thing as "work" in your life.
