“…prayed that God would help me be successful.”
When John Waddy grew frustrated with his bosses’ failure to invest in technology at a large Midtown PR firm, he took the leap to start his own Internet marketing firm before Google was even a verb.When he hesitated, his father – also a small business owner – encouraged him after John had improved his own firm’s website traffic and revenues.
Five months later, he signed a number of new contracts at a conference, only to have them all cancel a couple of days later following the 9-11 attacks. Today, the firm thrives, encouraging owners to work on their website every day.
