If you don’t know me, since I was a little kid, I’ve always know that I wanted to go out on my own. I never did really like the concept of a regular 9-5 (unless it’s my OWN 9-5 or whatever hours of course). Whether it’s 9-5, 8-4, 7-8, I don’t really care as long as I have fun doing what I’m doing. Unfortunately, unless you’re at a great company, you don’t usually enjoy the joys of flexibility.
Over the years I’ve always know I wanted to go out on my own. Even when I was a kid, when people asked my dad what I wanted to do, he’d always tell, “He doesn’t want a job.” As I got older and started learning about the stock market (probably when I was about 18 or 19), I somehow came across an acronym for having a JOB. JOB = Just Over Broke and my dad and I always chuckled at the phrase because it’s so true (for many people anyways). But don’t get me wrong, I’m in no way self conceited to where I look down on people for doing the daily grind. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. All I know is that it’s just not for me. I want to help businesses succeed (my passion) and in the process, create jobs within those businesses as well as my own.
Since I graduated high school, I’ve had three online ventures that were each profitable in their own respect. Two of them revolved in the auto industries which I had worked heavily on during my college days and both of which I have squashed to date. My third is my most recent with venture which revolves around of my childhood passions, web design. I’m actually in the process rebranding the third business and am hoping to take it to the next level with by offering a tightly correlated package of strategic Internet marketing services.
You can’t begin to imagine the contacts I have made throughout each of my ventures. And most recently with my internet marketing work, I’ve had the pleasure to work with some of the hottest companies in industries ranging from auto, sports (MMA & drifting), fashion, and even manufacturing.
Somehow I’ve been lucky enough all these years to work on my own personal projects and projects for others that I truly have loved (which I believe to be essential in order to be successful). I’ve been told by numerous people in position in power that they’re interested in seeing where I end up in 5 years and honestly, I’m curious too. It’s now time to live up to AND exceed those expectations for first, myself and second, for other’s curiosity.
P.S. Now that I think about it, I’ve been fortunate to work with two of my childhood passions to make money. If you ask anyone that knew me when I was a young kid, I was crazy about two things: cars and the Internet.
