What do you stand for?
More and more people want to work in a career where they find meaning and satisfaction. Increasingly people choose careers for more reasons than just to bring home a paycheck. More and more people want to know that what they are doing is making a meaningful contribution…..something that they can identify with personally.
Many of us, when we are small, aspire to a vocation. Often these dreams are not realized in specific terms; however, equally often the essence of them can be realized. When I was a very small boy, I loved building things, forts, Hot Wheels courses that had increasingly complex designs, and I built all kinds of gizmos… my parents were always running out of wire, tape, and glue. My mother told me I was going to be “an inventor of all things.” Well, that is not the title of my current job; however, I am actively engaged in our R&D efforts, with 4 patents granted and a 5th in progress. Sort of close…. at least with part of my job.
I was also told to keep my grades up in order to attend college or I would end up digging ditches for a living…. Well, I graduated with 2 degrees from ASU, and I still have done a lot of digging and other manual labor in my life….so perhaps not everything worked out as I planned. But the main thing I feel good about is that what I am doing makes a big difference in the world. I feel good about providing meaningful employment to 90 families. I feel good about bringing relief to many homeowners in a way that makes their lives better. I feel good about bringing innovative solutions to homeowners that they perhaps could not get anywhere else.
Most of all hope that our example at AZFS, a nationwide pioneer of objective, science-based transparent engineering analysis, recommendations, designs, and solutions to foundation repair will change the industry for good. I have written extensively about this in previous blogs. (A Call for Discussion on Foundation Investigation Standards (foundationaz.com), Foundation Repair Contractors Need Oversight (foundationaz.com)) Homeowners deserve to not be bamboozled by unscientific subjective conflicting claims that are more motivated out of self-reward than making customers' lives better. I have repeatedly been told by those in the industry that this model will never be profitable. I want to surround myself with people who want to help me prove them wrong.
