Play Like A Champion Today! Part 1 of a 5 Part Series
Mar 5, 2021

You may have heard of “Play Like A Champion Today”. Those immortal words are painted on a sign that hangs in the Notre Dame locker room which Lou Holtz hung in 1986. The players touch the sign as they exit the locker room on their way to the field.

Have you ever felt like you were “in the zone”? This is when you feel hyper-focused and relaxed at the same time, and when time seems to go by slowly or stop altogether. It is a feeling of complete control and performing at your peak. This is also referred to as being in “FLOW”.

Most of us at some point in our lives have been part of a team. Maybe it was a sports team, maybe it was in the workplace. Regardless of the nature of the task, when you get a group of people together working towards a common goal, you have yourself a team.

Design-Build / Strategic Alliances in Contracting Relative to Vertical Integration
Dec 4, 2020

One year ago this week, we lost our friend and colleague Ty Womble in a tragic plane crash. Before his accident Stone Development had asked Ty to write a blog for our website. We never had a chance to publish the blog before his passing. Today, on the anniversary of his death, in his memory we would like to share his thoughts on Design Build / Strategic Alliances in Contracting Relative to Vertical Integration.

Why We Should Fail to Get Better
Sep 29, 2016

Failure is not typically a positive word, but I think it’s absolutely necessary for successful business. We never learn from our successes, but we always learn from our failures.  If we’re not failing, then it often means we are not pushing hard enough, challenging ourselves enough, and we may just be wasting our time.

Everybody has their own talents, and this is ours. It’s what we specialize in. In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith writes about the division of labor and how individuals can get better at specific skills over time and are, therefore, able to specialize in that skill.

Don't Rush the Review
