Looking Back

Looking back

180 Systems is having our best year with revenue growth of about 40% over last year. It’s ironic that we are growing so quickly now, when as some of you know, I have been doing this kind of work for a very long time. In fact, most of my colleagues, friends and even my spouse retired years ago. The reasons for growth have a lot to do with my partner, Alex Miles, who is young, smart and ambitious. We have also hired a great team – there are 8 of us now and hopefully you will have the opportunity to work with some of them. I will also take a little credit for our growth. I have been risk-averse my entire life, but my 4 “kids” are grown up now and are successful. It’s finally time to take some risk and grow the company. We are doing this by:

  • hiring great people
  • speaking at conferences (Toronto Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show in September and Boston Project Summit BA World in October)
  • joining a number of organizations including The Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO)
  • offering new M&A services
  • optimizing our website
  • sending you our newsletter, which we hope you enjoy

I prefer to look ahead and look forward to working with you again or getting together sometime in the future.

  1. First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
    you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your head before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted
    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!

  2. I’m always looking for ways to make managing my health easier.
    For my blood pressure, I take doxazosin, and refilling
    it at the local pharmacy was always a chore. I switched to Medistorehub and now I simply
    order my doxazosin tablets from their website whenever I need them.
    It’s delivered right to my door, and the price is much better.

    This has simplified my life considerably.
