HVAC companies go through many peaks and valleys, especially the common  family-owned-and-operated businesses. You know what I’m talking about — the ones with the sometimes business-as-usual plague.
Make 2012 the year of getting to the root of the problem. Perhaps you want to  double HVAC profits, improve the  HVAC training culture, or take the  business to the next level.
Better yet: do it in 60 minutes by answering the following questions:
1. What is the issue?
2. What will happen in your company if the issue is resolved?
3. What are your company’s values? (And what are they as it relates to the issue?)
4. What obstacles exist to resolving the issue?
Steps to success
• As it relates to the issue, consider your company’s strengths and opportunities.
• Choose at least four words that effortlessly describe your  vision, and gather all employees for buy-in.
• Track, audit, and assess as you progress through the years.
