I’m starting a business in England, called Cit… [writers note: no longer associated with that company as of Fall 2009], and we just got the website up and running! I’m very happy.
I hope this will be my main work and source of income in the UK. It will be similar in some ways to the computer consulting work I did in the US, but with some significant differences. When I was in NJ, I never really wanted to stay in NJ; I always had one foot out the door, at least mentally. So growing my business long term was never a priority, as the last thing I wanted to do was build up something only to abandon it halfway.
This time, I’m in for the long haul, focusing on growth, stability, and growing beyond a one man operation. To start with, it’s already a two-man operation, as I have a partner, a fellow IT guy with an interest in entrepreneurship.
We’re also focusing on business models that can grow and scale beyond being a small shop. But enough of the boring talk. So far, it’s keeping me very busy, and I always prefer to be too busy than not busy enough!
