Brian had started off as a 3rd grade teacher, before becoming an entrepreneur. He had told us that while he was growing up, he was always "problem solving". With this mentality, he now owns his own business Sitecrafting.com. This business gives him the chance to problem solve every day he goes in for work. There is the challenge of knowing what design certain people want, how you can implement it properly, how to grow the business, etc. He had told us about PEMCO and how the lack of communication between his business, PEMCO, and the third party design team almost sunk his business. That event alone is the definition of entrepreneurship... taking risks. Brian treats his employees like family members, which leads to more trust and loyalty in the workplace. He had fired only one employee since starting his company, which shows how much the workers enjoy working for him. The article we read at the beginning of the quarter told us that becoming an entrepreneur was suicide, but Brian is a perfect example of a successful entrepreneur.
