Abstract/Contents:"Success can be an occupational hazard. In the best of economic times you can succeed so quickly and thoroughly that you start to believe you're entitled to it, and that prosperity will always remain. You can forget that the economy however cyclical, is a beast that can turn on you without notice. You can forget the roles of hard work, timing, and luck in success. You can forget what got you there." Around 1986 Greathouse Landscape Company, Inc., in Nashville, TN decided to give up the residential contracts of their business because they were doing a lot of commercial work. They regret making that decision today because it took a long time for them to regain the trust of residential landscape architects. Profiles the Greathouse Landscape Company, Inc.
