Hey, Chuck Price is no longer at We Build Pages

I’m a HUGE fan of  Tom Peters. If you don’t know who he is and have any interest in learning how to run a business, stop reading this and take his feed now! (Yeah,  I’m talking to you:) I attended a Peters seminar in 1994, where I first learned about a concept that had a profound influence on my life. His advice: “Re-pot” yourself every 7  years. (This concept originated from  former Stanford Business School dean Arjay Miller—a champion of  changing careers every 10 years.)  I think changing careers every 5 years is a more appropriate standard for this millennium.

I’ve worked in the building material industry, owned and operated a window & door manufacturing company, owned and operated a remodeling company, and even sunk so low as to work as an internet marketing guy:)  When I haven’t owned the company, I’ve started at the bottom & worked my way up to the executive ranks ~ not only as a kid, but as a guy in his forties. Most people fear change – I embrace it.

So what’s next? I don’t have the details, but I do know this: I’ll be working in the Capital District with some really smart & cool people.  The project will be incredibly interesting with a huge potential for growth. It may be internet related – or not. The payday will be highly lucrative and performance based. I’ll play a key role in business development or be the primary architect of a turnaround. If its an equity play, I’ll have the controlling interest. The business will be bricks & mortar, online or a hybrid:)  How can I know this without even knowing the deal?  Because the business principles are always the same, regardless of the business itself.

So… once I have the details, I’ll pass them along here. If you have a project that you want me to look at, I want to hear from you –  email or DM me.

I’m going to end this post with another great Tom Peters axiom: Never work with jerks. Including customers. (Life. Too short.)
