I first started working when I was 12 years old.
2
I'd go out in the morning at 7 a .m before the grass was even dry
3
and I would mow all day long barely pushing that lawnmower back through the door at 7 p .m at night.
4
It gave me a good taste for a serious work ethic and what it was to be responsible and dependable.
5
One of the things you learn
6
when you start a business really at any age is how
7
important it is to take care of the customer you know
8
when you build any organization you have to have family spirit it's one of those critical building blocks especially
9
when you're in the service business people have to come together work as a team enjoy what they're doing
10
and enjoy serving the client customer service is one of those
11
things you never really quit working on you're always trying to improve your operation
12
or at least you should be and And that's really what we're involved in now, is a journey through all departments of the company to become better next year than we were this past year.
13
You can't be successful in anything in life, whether it's personal or professional, without having integrity.
14
People need to know that when you say something, you mean it, that you follow through, that your word is good.
15
But you also have to be willing to be held accountable.
16
We are accountable to our clients our employees are accountable to
17
the leadership of an associate there's something special about a working relationship with others
18
when you know
19
that individual is looking out for you just as you're trying
20
to look out for them we count on people to come give their best each
21
and every day
22
and of course to be loyal to the company as they
23
should expect us to be to them as we mature
24
and as we grow older as a company you see more
25
and more successful initiatives to address the technological needs of our employees to make the work day easier
26
and better and more efficient for them but also to improve the relationship with our clients.
27
When you look at the values of a company you have to ask what does that really mean to the client?
28
Sustainability among other things is making sure that we are enhancing property values, that the work we do is actually meaningful, it's improving lives, it makes our communities more desirable to live in,
29
and in the end, it makes the properties within these communities that much more valuable.
30
These many associations have all sorts of complex security challenges, but it's our job to bring in the right professionals,
31
to analyze the situation, and to propose a solution that assures that these homes are safe, that the families, the people within these communities are safe,
32
and that people know the community by reputation as a safe place to be.
33
We don't want people to merely live behind the closed gates of these communities.
34
We want them to be involved.
35
We want them to know their neighbors, participate in their self -governance through their association.
36
We're not just there to do the accounting and the book work, but we actually want to be part of building community because that is what creates lasting value.
37
We constantly have to look for better technology, better ways to do things in a more efficient and a more cost -effective manner.
38
We owe that to ourselves as a business, but of course we also owe it to our clients.
39
As founder and CEO of Asocio, my promise to you, our clients, is that we will always uphold these values, that we believe in these values,
40
we run our company according to these values each and every day, and these are the same values
41
that will be in place for years to come as we continue our success for the benefit of you, the client.
42
Thank you.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
