Nerds. Some more so. Some not so much. Still Nerds.
We all met at different times. Anthony, Jim, Jared.
None of them had a clue about what the future held. Or how I was going to drive them nuts. =) The past few years have been a lot. Lots of growing. Lots of learning. Lots of adjusting and adapting. Finally, though, as it should be, we emerged. Better.
We started simple, grew quite a bit and quickly. Probably too quickly. Innovated some things we thought were extremely necessary and needed by our clients. I think we lost sight of what we were trying to accomplish. You get it, right? It’s like dropping out of college to pay for college and forgetting to go back.
What’s that saying about “best intentions?” Yeah, we had those, too. Then things got tricky. Complicated. I realized we were not doing enough for the clients. So, of course, I reinvented the wheel, or so I thought. I didn’t reinvent squat. Just frustrated the $4!+ out of everyone. Friends, family, colleagues. I swear, I didn’t mean to. I really just wanted it to be “better” and “more better” than what we attempted the first time.
Then I stopped thinking - I told the team, step away, stop, just effen stop. So, that’s what I did. I took my own advice and now here we are. Not exactly the Six Million Dollar Man but enough zeroes to make me realize I was wrong, in part.
So, here we are. All of us, you included. We’re all here to make it better, to make it work and of course to make the money we desire and hopefully deserve.
