When it comes to planning an event, it all starts with a clear, solid vision. Getting into a client’s head, figuring out what’s most important for her and then consistently striving towards it- that’s what great service is.

Getting your team to understand this is key.

At Forums, we require every employee to hang a vision board over their desks. They’re asked to post up pictures and meaningful words that represent their individual goals and also the goals they’d like to achieve for our company and for their clients. This one simple exercise is constantly motivating us, whether or not we’re aware of it.

Just as it is important to have a vision in our personal lives, it’s important for businesses who regularly want to be a step ahead of the competition, to understand who they are, what’s most important and what they want.
A lot of people ask us how we’ve managed to keep growing even during tough times. The key to making it work, is to hold onto the inspiration that drives us and not give up until it comes true.

And this is what helps us pave the way for success.

Forums was featured in an interview with “Dr Woody” Woodward, a motivational speaker an author of “The YOU Plan: A 5-Step Guide to Taking Charge of Your Career in the New Economy”. Dr. Woody uses our story as an example of how family-run businesses can thrive, even in an economic downturn.

Forums is proud to announce that we’ve made it on the Inc 500/5000 list of fastest-growing small companies in America! We ranked a little over half on the list, proving the success we’ve had since launching our business. Based upon percentage of revenue growth from 2007-2010, the list is meant to acknowledge entrepreneurs for their successful turn-around, along with their ability to stimulate the economy by creating more jobs. With a 76% increase over the past three years, it’s evident that we’ve been passionate about learning, growing and exceeding the goals we’ve set for ourselves- and for our clients.

Our next step? Reaching the top, of course…

Over the weekend, the team at Forums had the opportunity to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure. It was our honor to be a part of an event that celebrated the brave women who have fought breast cancer- both those who have beat the disease and those who have lost the battle. We celebrate them.
