A Welcome of Sorts

With all the books about niche businesses and esoteric subjects people purchase from the shelves of Barnes and Noble Booksellers, it occurred to me that perhaps I should develop my skills as a writer in hopes that some day, you will purchase a book of my own writing.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Ragland, and I am a young entrepreneur in the Austin, Texas area. I have been starting businesses with people from all walks of life for the past ten years. I have had many experiences ranging from utter disaster to something resembling success. In that time I have learned a few things about people, life, and what Im looking for. I will share a lot of what is going on in my professional life with you, in hopes that you will comment, critique, develop, and challenge my decisions and actions.

For my first post, let us leave it at a moderate hello. I will thank Wylie Maercklein of Castle Photography for allowing me to use the photo you see here. I say thank him, but you see ironically, I did not ask because I am a partner in Castle Photography. This allows me some freedom when it comes to stock photography on the company website. Please check out his work. I think you will find it most interesting and unique to say the least. You can find a link to the site on my links section on the right.

I have a very broad base of interest when it comes to business, so if you have a particular topic you would like to see me discuss, please feel free to comment at any time.
