Default Finally, an intro for Granada Products

Hey everyone...

I've been a member for while and even contributed to some of the threads during my time here. I thought I should come and post an intro...

I started up just over 12 months ago marketing a product to college bookstores.

I'm also in the middle of an MBA program and working full-time in an unrelated career. Plus, I've got a wife and son... Pretty busy, like everyone else here.

Anyhow, just thought I'd say 'hi'...

Hi Steven,
welcome to the forums.

With all that going on, I am wondering what your longer term plans are. Will you be focusing on just the business at some stage, or will you keep both job and business?

Welcome to the forums Steven!

Sounds like you have your hands full. Does your family help out with the internet part?

Corey,
Internet part? You mean the website?

No, I take care of everything myself... They help with preparing inventory for shipment to college bookstores. But they get tired of it quickly. I tend to have plenty of late nights working on MBA homework, MBA Case Studies, and business research.

But I never take job work home. I leave that there. But I do plenty more than I get paid to do there. All for the sake of leadership development and learning.

Well at least they do help with some things. It does sound like you lead a pretty busy life (you'll fit right in here )

Steven, your in good company here. Like you, I also am pursuing a degree in addition to running a business. Fortunately, the full time job was shed almost 2 years ago and I only have business, family (wonderful wife and 3 awesome kids), and school now. Start back in next week to university classes 2 nights a week. It can be grueling at times, but I am glad I'm doing it. Most of my classes are taught by people who work in their field during the day, so it's not just textbook stuff.

I love my current class (marketing) and professor. He works in the field and brings the recent and relevant lessons to the classroom. He's a top notch guy that is quite thought provoking...In fact he's the author of the textbook and 2004 edition.

Also, I'm going one night/week. Summer quarter ends this month and Fall quarter begins at the end of September.

Thanks for the welcome.
