Quotes:
Our discussions with them are fairly simple, in the sense that it usually ends with us saying, ‘You would be crazy not to do it yourself.
Treat your offshore team exactly how you treat your onshore team. They are simply an extension of your practice, they are just not local.
We have less things falling through the cracks…now we have a much more appreciative client base.
We are good at telling other people what to do. And I thought you know what, if I was advising myself, this is what I’d tell myself. And instead of just making excuses, I decided to follow it.
