My name is Rik and I own a business support and graphic design business from the comfort of my home office in the Atlanta Metro area. I've been in business sporadically for the last 10 years, but as of 2007 have jumped in full-time. I'm also a mom to a brand new tweener and she has become my junior assistant; I see the entrepreneur in her already.
I look forward to talking with you all! Have a splendiferous day!
Welcome to the forum Rik! We're glad to have you here.
That's so exciting that you have gone full-time! And, I think that is awesome that you're daughter is assisting you! That's a good idea when you need extra hands for a project.
My daughter was privileged enough to attend a summer camp last summer run by Usher's foundation. They had 2.5 hours of business classes a day for 14 days straight. Two of the things she learned were writing business plans and unit costing. And she loves to shred!
Hi Rik, welcome Great to have you here!
How nice that your daughter is learning all about small business ownership, the hard work that goes into it (and the many rewards!)
My business focus is similar to yours with basic admin services and SEO, custom design and software dev/programming on the side. It's a great way to offer your clients a one-stop shop
I am new as well. I have a 13-year-old daughter and she's very interested in helping me out on a daily basis. She's even practicing typing on her computer to speed up her wpm average! I think I have a future VA on my hands lol.
There is a wealth of information here and everyone seems to be very warm and helpful!
I have two tweens myself and they seem a bit interested in what I'm doing with my business. I think its a great example for them to see us work with determination and see our success results - so they can model that kind of workmanship when they are out there in real world as an adult.
Please always help yourself at home. Feel free to participate or ask any questions that you may have.
Howdy Y'all
