Business can be exhilarating in many ways — especially, as you might guess — when first opening an office. I've been open for three weeks, and bills and creeping expenses were sprinting just a little ahead of income from my new clientele. I expected this, as I am operating on a zero budget for a while, but this state of being financially strapped really doesn't hinder even a fledgling businessman like me in the IT field. Like I mentioned before, one can perform IT services (on-site support, software installation/troubleshooting, programming, etc.) without the grueling pursuit of capital. Rather, as a one-man business, I can expand my advertising, marketing, and services as the months pass.
Luckily, I have a fantastic office mate from whom I sublease my space, and he is quite intent on helping me to succeed. I am fortunate to have found such a supportive environment, and it give me just the extra inspiration that I need to push my business into the black. We also happen to be avid listeners of the same genres of classical music, and playing this music throughout the day complements the casual and unfussy mood of our corner of the world.
In these first three weeks, I was productive enough to amaze even myself, as I attracted some new hosting customers, restored some downed LAN / WAN networks, extinguished an IT crisis or two, and rolled out a volley of websites in the opening days of my business. Here are a few of those websites to browse and scrutinize:
www.cafesf.com
www.thefiveminutestone.com
www.reynoldscleaning.com
One last note: Make sure to watch the first of three presidential debates tonight! Watch it on ABC, NBC, PBS or CNN at 7:00 P.M. eastern time. And if you're a swing voter, then tonight's debate demands your undivided unwavering attention. This first mudslinging session takes place at the University of Miami, the second at Washington University in St. Louis, and the final wrap-up at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.
