Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Wesley Huber, Founder of Wes Huber, located in Thomasville, NC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a freelance web developer, I work for a few digital agencies, and I also have some clients of my own. The Digital Agencies I work for have bigger clients, for example, an at-home nursing company called Sonas Home Health and a business insurance company called Embroker. My own clients are small businesses like a roofing business and a bagel sandwich/coffee shop.
Tell us about yourself
I started working on my business in 2016, a year after I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems. I started getting my own clients on UpWork, and that kickstarted my independent Web Development career, although, in college, I had worked on a few websites professionally as well.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is being able to work remotely and make my own hours for as long as I have. I've been running this one-man development shop for 6+ years.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing is managing your own time, money, and taxes. It's hard because you can't undersell yourself or your services which I have definitely done in the past. You might need to do that to get your first job, but after you have a good reputation, continue to be confident in your work and your pricing.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Make sure you are offering a product that you are confident is useful, and stay consistent with your work.
- If you are offering services like I am, make sure your skills are honed and you do market research.
- Stay consistent and believe in what you do!
