Marsland Consulting & Design, LLC, seems off to a good start.  We’ve changed directions ever so slightly to include marketing and branding now, which I think will be great for us.  An awesome and close friend of mine in the marketing business has signed on as a partner and co-founder and I’m really looking forward to working with her.

Back to the grind at work with the Navy, where I’ll be assuming the role of primary Information Systems Security Officer and Information Technology Division Officer for my command.  That experience should prove useful, as all experience does.

Next post, I hope to unveil more on the branding and logo decision we’ve made for the company.

In more personal news, the family is doing well. I’m on injection #2 of EuFlexxa for my knee. So far so painful, but we’ll see how it goes. I remain optimistic.

Until Next Time!

It’s been 4 1/2 months since my last post.  Crazy how time flies when  you’re… having fun?  Haha!

I’ve been doing quite a bit.  My first semester at Western Governors University is over, and with my current plan I’ll have my B.S. in IT Security in 11 more months.  Not too shabby.

Today’s topic is on leadership and building a business.  I’ve never been the best salesperson, but today I learned quite a bit about word of mouth and the importance of networking.  I run Marsland Consulting & Design, LLC, an IT consulting and Web Design company that I plan on really building when I retire from the military.

I have some extra things I’d like to get soon for the business so I announced my search for a new client or two.  After two reviews of my company posted (one by a previous client, one by a friend of mine), another friend of a friend pretty much signed a design deal with me.  Extremely happy about that prospect and looking forward to closing a deal tomorrow.

In the small business community, what do you do to garner more business?
