2006 PRINTING INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME — SUCCESS, THE HARD WAY

“I realized that to succeed in printing, you had to have the financials to match those of the people who were successful,” Hopkins says of the Ratio Studies. “I changed my chart of accounts and accepted the PIA chart they use on the Ratio Studies. I used to get the studies and just pore over them. I’m not a CPA, but I’ve learned the chart of accounts and how monies float through a printing company very well. It’s made a great deal of difference in my business career.”
