I was pleasantly surprised and quite shocked to be awarded the Fast Growth 2008 award by bizSanDiego last night at the Prado in Balboa Park. We were notified of the nomination a month ago, and had no clue that we were the #1 Fastest Growing company in San Diego until the count down began. The bizSanDiego put on wonderful award ceremony and recognized 20 of some the best organizations in the area. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank: Brian Sacks, publisher, for his incredible coverage of the San Diego business environment. John Lincoln, associate editor and web master, for his interview of myself and every other candidate ( John is an amazingly talented young man whose got a shining future ahead of him! ). Roger Hurni, creative director, for his design and interactive development of the publication and all online media contributions. We all thank the entire staff at bizSanDiego for their contributions and can’t wait to see them grow!

None of this is possible with out having a vision and establishing an organization full of talented, passionate, and energetic people that add something that is irreplaceable: Human Power. Often the most forgotten asset in organizations are the people dedicated most to the cause. Businesses need constant innovation to survive and move forward. Providing an environment that nurtures creativity and growth is imperative if a company wants to attain any type of growth. There are some great companies that do this already. Google is a prime example with their 80/20 rule for engineers. What that means is that 20% of their time is spent just thinking and creating something they are passionate about. No strings attached. You can find many examples of human power out there, but I encourage all of you to listen and realize that micromanaging gets a company nowhere. Let your people try different tasks and let them develop on their own. Giving those most dedicated to any cause autonomy, independence and trust has huge rewards—-for everyone.

JP Communications Inc thanks all of you!!! for making this happen. Our customers, users, employees and numerous other contributors to the JPC network—thanks to all of you and keep letting us know what we need to build. You all make it happen.

ps: The bizSanDiego has some great community involvement. The bizSanDiego blog is a phenomenal read for all you locals.
