Although they won numerous awards and were doing good work, architect Rodney Robles realized something was missing in his firm.

After ignoring the business aspect of his firm for the first 7 years, he immersed himself on how to run a great practice, which has made a great difference on his practice, his work, and his life.

Rodney Robles is the founder of the architecture firm Factor:Recurso, based in Monterrey, Mexico.
