About

Hi, I’m Craig Lahtinen and I am the owner / president of Pro21Design.  Pro21 is inspired from Proverbs 21:5.

“The verse is emphasizing the process of planning – the plans of a diligent person and the plans of a person who is hasty. There is a saying that a good result is a product of a good process. That is why a good plan is a very important key to attain success. It is in our plan that our execution and results will depend. Planning is the process of organizing your goals and procedures to achieve these goals. It should be accomplished systematically (with the S.M.A.R.T factors: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and trackable). Your plan will be your map and direction to your goal. A carefully made plan will surely bring you to success while an action without a good plan will bring you to failure.

The diligent person discreetly plans and executes this plan accordingly. In the contrary, a hasty person moves quickly without planning carefully, thinking that they can reach their goals instantly. Most people in poverty today live on dreaming and hoping that someday they become instantaneously rich by means of luck or by means of a miracle. They dream but they don’t execute what is completely executable to achieve their dreams. They don’t realize that the true miracles already happened since they were born – the miracles of life, reason and freedom to choose.” – Thanks to BusinessAccent.com

I find other inspiration in Proverbs 21 as well, and intend to incorporate these into my way of doing business:

• 21:13 – Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered: A key reason for my business is to help those in need! I have realized that my God given talents happen to be with computer software… not necessarily software development, but with software implementation. I have been blessed with the gift and ability of assembling software into business solutions using the building blocks that someone smarter than me has developed.
• 21:21 – Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperityand honor: This is the way I WANT TO live life. I believe that achieving HAPPINESS, JOY, SUCCESS, ETC., has three fundamental rules… — “Love the Lord God with all your heart, all you soul, and all your mind, ” “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and “…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” — All from the Book of Matthew.
