It almost doesn’t matter how hard you row. What really matters is the size of the boat. I think this quote comes from Warren Buffett. Earlier in my career I would kill myself for a job that I never had an opportunity to make more than 50k. I thought if I was the hardest worker that it would eventually payoff. Usually it really does but what I didn’t realize I was in a really small boat going no where fast. A big boat has tons of money flowing into it. Those boats have opportunities and are way more interested in keeping hard working talent. If you’re killing it and not getting paid what you are worth. Maybe you’re in the wrong boat.

Hello everyone! I'm happy to join this group and look forward to learning from you all. A little about myself: I'm a mechanical engineer in the defense industry, I am a father of 4, and I love the outdoors!

I am going to try something. I am passionate about helping other launch a business or make it better. So I am going to hold open office hours on zoom. This is a place that you can hop on to chat with me, ask for help or maybe you can help me with my projects I’m hoping this will turn into a regular event online and eventually in person one day. We will see how this goes.

Tell us about your business. We want to know. If you don't have one, then ask for ideas from the group. I will go first. I own a website agency. We focus on helping small businesses build or fix their old sites so they can rank higher in Google rankings. We also help some of our clients with Social Media Management. What first helped us to revenue was a HIPAA-compliant data backup service for dental practices. That started our cash flow and led us into the website agency and social media management. Your Turn.
