For years, I've heard from those much smarter than me, that the only way to truly realize the so - called "American Dream" is ownership. Owning a home or your own business gives you the kind of freedom you can't have any other way. You take all of the risk. You reap all of the rewards.
As I continue my evolution from "good employee/manager/asset to the company" to "Owner/Operator/President" of my own, I continue to be energized by all of the work being put into growing my business. I look back at what's been done and look ahead to what needs to be and I know that it's an ongoing process.
The latest item crossed off the checklist is the company website. This has been a truly collaborative effort, taking a lot of patience on the part of those doing most of the heavy lifting, the web designers.
My wife has always said that I was a perfectionist and it can be a pain in the ass for the people I deal with. I realized that for the first time in dealing with myself. It's one thing when you're that way for someone else's benefit, but it's a totally different can of worms when you're putting everything on the line.
My expectations are realistic and I'm prepared for the long haul ahead. At the end of the day, the goal for Mark Gunn Media Inc. is simple. Do a really great job that speaks for itself. Hence, my company slogan - "No Hype ! No Hoopla ! Just Damn Good Work !"
