From the beginning, we’ve wanted EB5 Capital to be different from other companies. Different in how we treat our clients, different in how we work with each other, and different in the results we achieve. These differences are best captured in the 25 “Fundamentals” that are the foundation for our unique culture.
Our Fundamentals
1. Honor Commitments
Do what you say you’re going to do when you say you’re going to do it. Be someone everyone can count on. If a commitment can’t be honored, notify others early and agree on a new deliverable.
2. Make Quality Personal
Demonstrate a passion for excellence and take pride in the quality of everything you do. Always ask yourself, “Is this my best work?” Every conversation, email, and even facial expression sets a tone—make it your best.
3. Do the Right Thing, Always
Demonstrate an unwavering commitment to integrity in every action and decision. The true measure of character is what you do when nobody is watching.
4. Take Ownership
Take personal responsibility for making things happen. Show initiative, be resourceful, and drive projects to the finish line. Identify clear ownership for every task.
5. Bring It “Every Day”!
Have passion for your work and show up fully engaged. Approach each day with energy and a positive attitude that lifts others up.
6. Embrace Change and Growth
What got us here won’t get us to the next level. Be open to change, step outside your comfort zone, and stay resilient when things don’t go as planned.
7. Invest in Relationships
Get to know your teammates and stakeholders personally. Strong relationships help us navigate challenges and thrive together. Be inclusive and embrace diversity.
8. Get Clear on Expectations
Clarify expectations early and often. Confirm assignments, timelines, and next steps. When in doubt, over-communicate.
9. Listen to Understand
Give your full attention. Be present, open to feedback, and curious rather than judgmental. Prioritize listening before responding.
10. Be Relentless About Improvement
Continuously look for ways to work better and smarter. Challenge the status quo—“We’ve always done it this way” isn’t a reason.
11. Be a Lifelong Learner
Stay curious. Pursue knowledge, share best practices, and help others grow by teaching what you learn.
12. Focus on Solutions
Be forward-thinking and own your mistakes. Turn obstacles into learning moments and strive not to repeat them.
13. Go the Extra Mile
Be willing to go above and beyond—start early, stay late, do more than what’s expected. That’s what sets you apart.
14. Know the Goal
Seek full clarity on the goal or problem before diving in. Understand what success looks like and communicate the big picture.
15. Work Smart
Prioritize, plan ahead, and be efficient with your time. Approach each day with a game plan and stay organized.
16. Promote and Practice Work-Life Balance
Respect time off and personal lives. We do our best work when we’re recharged—empathy and boundaries matter.
17. Deliver Results
Effort is important, but results matter. Set goals, measure progress, and hold yourself accountable.
18. Be Ultra-Responsive
Respond quickly, even just to acknowledge receipt. Being responsive shows you care.
19. Speak Straight
Communicate honestly and directly, with kindness and clarity. Speak up—even when it’s uncomfortable—for the sake of progress.
20. Share Information
With appropriate confidentiality, share knowledge across the team. Ask yourself, “Who else needs to know this?”
21. Show Meaningful Appreciation
Recognize and thank people sincerely. Regular, genuine appreciation boosts morale and connection.
22. Put the Team First
Let go of ego and focus on what’s best for the team. Don’t get caught up in credit—focus on results.
23. Be Process-Driven
Strong processes drive consistency and success. Build them thoughtfully and know when flexibility is needed.
24. Be Easy to Work With
Be helpful, kind, and proactive. Make collaboration smooth, especially in stressful situations.
25. Keep Things Fun
Inject humor, joy, and personality into your work. Share stories, laughs, and moments that remind us we’re human.
