The Art of Starting

As one builds a business, lots of paperwork to set up incorporation, bank accounts, blog pages, twitter pages and network. I've never liked paperwork but networking is great fun.

Next step is to join the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, arguably one of the most active Chambers in the area. A friend and colleague already invited me to a couple of events and the potential to attract business is obvious.

Also been tweaking the website and doing some pro bono work for some local non-profits, especially in video.

I like this entrepreneur thing. Just might work out. So far so good. The key is to keep busy, always have meetings, projects to work on and goals to set. Especially important when you're starting out from home. Meetings and projects get you out of the house, which is a good thing.

Above all, ethics and integrity remain the key. My crossroads before taking this turn was the choice between dollars and integrity. I chose the latter.
