Well, 2011 has been nice. Almost half of it down with some back-to-back binges personally and professionally. I spent the end of 2010 with another baby, then started 2011 with a 3 month Ironman session that ExchangeDefender 7 was born out of and then followed it by a month off. In May I got back to work slowly in a support role for my management team and now I’m back to my CEO role at the strongest (both financially and in growth-opportunity) position Own Web Now has ever been in.
I’ve been relatively quiet (ie, working or avoiding work) in 2011 and that’s about to change. I have a lot of ideas that I look forward to putting into motion and the explaining it to you all.
One thing is clear: There has never been more opportunity for VARs and MSPs out there – yet, most VARs and MSPs will not survive. Business as usual managed to keep some around on extended life support the last time we had a downturn but this time around some expense control and cost cutting won’t be enough. Given the options, I look forward to growing with you!
