We outsourced the excess rather than hiring and firing new employees. We maintained a focus on social and environmental responsibility starting Year 1 which grew annually with revenue growth
Financial Strategy We kept the Stock Volume constant. We increased our annual pay down of the line of credit as Revenue and Cash on Hand grew. Annual Dividends remained fairly constant yet very attractive.
