From humble beginnings as a small insurance agency, Celedinas Insurance Group based in Palm Beach Gardens has expanded into a national business.

A. I've lived all my life in Palm Beach County. I've never lived anywhere else   and I don't want to live anywhere else. I was born at St. Mary's and lived for a short time in Riviera Beach. I spent most of my childhood in Palm Beach Gardens, and I've pandora [url=http://www.pandorauksale.top]pandora sale rings canada[/url] had a home in Palm Beach since 2004.

Q. Tell me about your company.

A. The company was founded in 1959 by my father. We just moved into a new headquarters in Palm Beach Gardens. We have offices in Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Miami and Ocean Reef, which is basically Key Largo. We've grown to 130 employees. We used to be just a Palm Beach County firm, but now we have business in all 50 states. Our specialty is working with high net worth people. Our private client services division is very well known nationally.

Q. Describe your first job.

A. When I was 12 or 13, a buddy and I thought we could cut lawns in the neighborhood and make some extra money. It was one of those typical hot, muggy, rainy South Florida summers. It seemed like as soon as you were done mowing, the grass needed to be cut again. The lawnmowers were constantly conking out. I don't know what pandora jewelry 70% off clearance I learned from that, but I definitely learned what I didn't want to do.

Q. What has been your biggest challenge?

A. We've grown since 1985 at an annual rate of about 17 percent. Our biggest challenge is finding new associates that have what we call the right stuff   integrity, intelligence, motivation, people skills. It's not that easy to find. The business has certainly become very complicated. In the past, 100 percent of the people we hired had an insurance background. Now, we're resorting to looking for people with those four qualities who we can train in insurance.

Q. Describe your biggest business mistake.

A. We're a pretty conservative firm. We don't have a lot of debt or leverage, and we grew through the downturn. Our mistakes are usually missed opportunities   maybe passing on a chance to expand or passing on somebody we should have hired who went on to do well somewhere else.

Q. What do you see as the outlook for your business in Miami Dade? In Broward?

A. The future outlook for our business in Dade and Broward counties is very positive. Changing demographics are in our favor. South Florida is growing at the expense of areas in Northeast and Rust Belt. We have aging baby boomers, affluent families and Latin Americans relocating to Dade and Broward counties in record numbers. South Florida has an exceptional quality of life, a stable business environment, favorable tax climate and fantastic weather year round. As a business, we will continue to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace by developing unique and exclusive products and services to better serve these new residents and businesses. If the past is any indication of the future, we should be able to earn more than our share of these potential clients.

Q. What is the outlook for Palm Beach County?

A. The economy seems to be rebounding. I don't know if it's back to where it was in 2006 or 2007, but certainly parts of the real estate market are back. Some of the country club communities north of PGA seem to be very busy. The people who are moving here could afford to live anywhere, and they're attracted for the same reasons we're here   great weather, great quality of life and a favorable tax climate.

Q. What is the pandora sale pandora jewelry 70% off clearance best business advice you've ever received?

A. Follow the golden rule. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Q. What's the best business book you've read?

A. Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. A classic. It was written in the 1930s. I'm surprised people don't pandora charms sale read it today. It gives great advice at a high level about how to treat people.
