Although Erk’s Werks Custom Software was technically founded in 2008, I only started working on my own June 26, 2009. This year went very well compared to all the “new business horror stories” I was warned about. I know that this is mostly because of the help and encouragement I’ve received from my family, friends and wife (even though most of my family still think I create sudoku puzzles for a living)!
This year I’ve been extremely lucky to have found clients who are great to deal with!
So here are a few of the lessons learned this year
- GST isn’t as complicated as it sounds
- Invoicing is the funnest administrative task
- Paying bills is the least fun administrative task
- Getting the job done right impresses the client and saves time and effort
- Creating a detailed schedule is important to avoid projects dragging out for too long
Inspirational quote for the year
Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.
To all that have worked with Erk’s Werks, I hope you’ve had good experiences and will refer me to anyone looking for Custom Software. If you have feedback, I’d appreciate it if you could either email me directly or add a comment to this post.
If you are interested in custom software, please contact me and you’ll be glad you did!
