So you’ve got an idea. Something inside of you burns to do something about it. You long to explore, develop, and bring your idea to fruition. When you were a child, this meant running your own lemonade stand. Later as a teenager, it meant mowing lawns for a growing clientele. Today, all grown up, it means running your own business.

Yes, many people have dreamt of being their own boss, but few have successfully seen it through. Well, dear reader, I am writing to tell you that I am going to try and join the successful bunch. If entrepreneurship interests you, read on.

Here’s a taste of the back story…

This all started about 3 months ago. Actually, the idea has been percolating for longer, but my friend and co-dreamer John Phillips finally stepped up and said “Let’s do this.” It’s definitely an exciting feeling, the snowballing of two people’s will dream into one unified goal. What’s better than two people? Three! Yes, John Phillips and I knew that we would need another, and our choice was Tyler Smeltekop. We’d all taken classes in the same program (Professional Writing at MSU) and had kept up via the magic that is the Internet. First John Phillips graduated, then I earned my diploma, and in a year or so, Tyler will to.

We all share a desire to forge career paths that touch both creativity and technology every day. We all share a desire to work hard on projects we love for clients we genuinely care about. And we all dream of being our own boss and having the ability to take on the projects that we want and not ones handed to us by some managerial figure who knows little of designing.

This blog will allow us to document the process and write about what’s going through our heads and how we are progressing towards that ultimate goal of running a successful business. We hope you are able to take away pearls of wisdom (don’t worry, they’re coming!) and feel free to comment on our thoughts and processes!
