Here are some of ours:

✅ Live your Calling: We believe we all have a calling in life, we want to find ours and help you find yours, by doing what your passionate about, gifted at, and love doing then live it out loud, and help others do the same. “I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received”  Eph 4:1 

✅ Love: We believe in treating others the way we want to be treated with respect dignity and Love

✅ Be wrong and own the problem: Problems will NEVER EVER go away. New solutions even lead to new problems. But unless we can first see and admit that there's a problem and own it and take responsibility, we can't even begin to solve it.

✅ Hungry to learn, grow and innovate: Staying still is just as bad as moving backwards. Staying curious and always seeking to learn, grow and improve is the surest way to creating a big future.

✅ Manage systems over people: If there's a problem - first look at the system instead of blaming others. How could we fix the issue at the root by modifying or improving our systems? “A bad system will beat a good person every time” Edwards Deming

✅ We serve: Why does a business exist in the first place? Customers give us money in exchange for us solving their problems, the bigger the problem, the bigger the reward. At the very heart of this is our ability to serve.

✅ Win-Win: Good business is defined by the fair and equitable trade between parties, we believe in providing win-win deals for our customers, team, and entire supply chain.
