Challenges. Every business has them. The key is finding ways around or through the obstacles.
For Matthew Sheehan, owner of Aero Specialties Inc. in Boise, and Larry Landa, who owns LarKor Construction in Homedale, the problem was shifting markets. Sheehan watched a huge section of his business disappear as the recession took hold. His way out: sell overseas, but that also brought challenges.
Landa needed to find a niche in the construction business that would help him move ahead. He found it in the federal government, but not without learning the ins and outs of getting a shot at those contracts.
Both men talked with Business Insider about the problems they encountered and how they overcame them.

Owner Matthew Sheehan, a pilot and former auto body shop owner, began repairing and refurbishing ground equipment for aircraft and maintenance operations 22 years ago. His company continued to grow, eventually reaching $10 million in sales. It got a boost after 9/11, when corporations expanded their private flights to keep highly paid executives from standing in long inspection lines to get on commercial aircraft.
