I'm an I.T. guy with an Associates in Information systems and a B.S. in Business/eBusiness. I'm realizing that this doesn't make me an authority on how to start, maintain and grow a business which is where I need your help.
I started and incorporated my business in 2009. ... Media INC is a web development company that in short specializes in site builder (user created website), custom web development, domain name registration, business identity products, and marketing.
Since I still hold a full-time job I'm finding it hard to manage my business. I'm turning down business and putting prospects on hold while I struggle to get my site up (packages, payment options, reseller hosting, ect).
I need some organizational direction (products, books, advise, etc).
Thank you,
Will
