Open for Business
I’m pleased to announce that as of January 2007, I’m taking the plunge into full-time solo work. Ordered List is becoming the face for my new business, and I couldn’t be more excited.
So what’s happened since the last time I brought up this subject? Well, to start, nearly a full year has past, and that’s a lot of time to change somebody’s opinion. But I think the most important answer to that question is “I have.” I’ve grown in so many ways, personally and professionally, in the last 12 months.
The birth of my son, and all the chaos surrounding that situation, has taught me that it’s so important to take everything as it comes. Plans are important, but if you can’t throw them out and adapt when they change, you’re in for way too much stress in your life.
I also had the opportunity in March to attend South by South West in Austin, and it really opened my eyes to how open and engaging the web-professional community can be. I met so many great people there, many of which I would now consider real friends. They are supportive and receiving, something you don’t find too often amongst people in the same industry.
Taking these things into consideration, along with a knowledge of how much potential the web contains from a business perspective, has made this life-changing decision a little easier. Sure I’m still a little nervous, but I hope as a business owner that I never lose that sense of urgency. The doors are open. If you or someone you know needs some qualified web help, contact me and let me know.
Here’s to a great New Year.
