So now that I have this small business to run, what are my plans with it? Most entrepreneurs start out with some kind of exit strategy – how they plan to eventually leave their business. Like most first-time business owners, though, I failed to flesh out this part of my plan before I started. I made sure to do the “right” things from the start: I didn’t name the business after myself, I maintain a separate checking account, and I keep strict documentation on all of my clients to make everything transferrable in the event I decide to sell.
In April of 2008, I finally decided to stop “thinking” about starting a company and started one – Jumping Duck Media. Since that time, I’ve worked with a large number of clients from different states and even different countries. While my work has been mostly relegated to web design, I’ve also spent quite a bit of time using my strengths and talents as a marketer.
