When we were planning our recent move, I went to my boss at work and reminded her that I hated Miami. She already knew that, and told me that she shared my feelings. I told her that my wife and I decided on a new home and asked if she would be interested in keeping me on as a consultant. She was.

So on the advice of a couple friends, I setup an LLC in the new state, and am now the proud owner, president, CEO, founder, etc of my very first business.

In the beginning, I am starting with simple data consulting, reporting, database analysis and administration. SQL and whatever. I can also do work in Access, if an interactive interface is needed, but interfaces are so time-consuming to design, that I’d rather keep to the raw reporting

My last job is my first client, and I am just waiting on paperwork to get started, now.

My wife is our CFO and more. I have no idea what all titles to bestow upon her, as she does such a broad range or not-necessarily-related things that it’s mind-blowing to think about. She secured our second client, a store/cafe. She was handling their event materials, web design, financials, and more, while participating in sales, event coordination, marketing, and tons more. She’s a master of all trades. So she brought in our second client, and has already been working for them, so I guess that technically qualifies as our First client.

While this was a minor aspect of the ultimate business plan, it is a vital one, and the simplest one to commence without a permanent space. So we can work on the road (and my wife did, from the hotels we stayed at on the move out here), and from home (where we’ve already setup an office).

It’s really an awesome thing, and I’m very excited to work on growing the business.
