Show Notes for Episode 15 - Starting an IT Consulting Company with Scott Edwards
This week, Michael and Brian talk with Scott Edwards about starting an IT consulting company. Scott shares his unique journey to starting Summit 7 Systems - including his failures. Those of us in the trenches usually don't see what goes into starting and running a successful company, so join the Sherpas as they take a quick peak behind the curtain.
Did somebody say giveaway????
There is still time to enter the SharePoint Sherpas Christmas 2016 Giveaway (graciously sponsored by Summit 7 Systems). One of our lucky listeners will win a $50 Best Buy gift card and, better yet, will have a donation made in their name to Holt International. Specifically, the SharePoint Sherpas and Summit 7 Systems will sponsor the gift of a sewing machine for someone in a third-world nation that they can use to start a small business to support their family. A simple sewing machine can provide long-term gainful employment and be a source of income which can sustain a family for a very long time.
