A note from PHCC-TX Executive Director, Alicia Dover.
  
Over the past several years we have seen nationwide efforts, often precipitated by unions, to increase the minimum wage at the local level to $15 as a means of addressing economic inequality. The movement, called the "Fight for $15," has seen some success in several states as well as in numerous cities.
  
Time. We could all use just a bit more of it, right? What kind of difference would it make in your day if you had an extra 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or even an entire hour? What would you do with it? Would you use it to grow your business? Would you spend it with your family?
  
A good strategic plan and execution strategy focuses the energies and talents of everyone in your organization on the results that matter.
  
Some pundits say that the industry, or industries, must change their approach to hiring and training Millennials. Bending to the "new" societal norm is akin to abject surrender and doesn’t take much effort. Running a business, especially a contracting business in the construction trades, requires a top down leadership strategy. Immediate gratification, whether it is from upbringing or digital reflex, is the real issue here.
  
When you were a kid, going to school and getting passing grades was not optional—it was expected. And if you did not score well on assignments and quizzes, it would most certainly show up on your report card. Reflecting on all the classes and assignments, it’s evident now that your teachers were training you for something you would probably need later.
