My name is Kristine and I'm a CEO.
(waits for chorus of voices with somewhat chanted reply of 'hello, Kristine.')
OK, maybe I don't look like a CEO. As a matter of fact, I resemble a girl with long blond hair staring at a computer screen in the accounting department of Ranch Foods Direct (which has the BEST meat ever...no, not a paid advertisement. This girl is a carnivore!)
What most people don't realize is that I'm also the owner of a small publishing company in Colorado Springs known as Written World Communications.
Well, you might not recognize the name yet because we're a small company. Boasting only 8 employees, all of which are volunteers, we're focussed on building a business that will put into print five new magazines and four book imprints over the next few years. No, we don't do vanity publishing. We're one of those traditional, royalty paying enterprises.
If you think it's easy starting up a company on a shoestring, it's not. Hence the "Lunch Hour CEO." Yes, I'm starting a business by carefully utilizing the thirty minutes alloted to me for lunch. And a few scattered hours on the weekends. Can it be done? Well, we're about to find out.
So...stay tuned. This ride is at the very least going to be interesting. Probably more than a little crazy as well. But oh, are we going to have FUN!
QUESTION: What's the furthest you've gone to realize a dream?
