Welcome..

I started my own business, ACE Computer Services (www.acecomputernj.com), in February 2007 to provide tech support & repairs at minimal cost to home & small business customers. This blog contains my thoughts, resources and steps to making everything happen. Feel free to comment and provide suggestions. Thanks for reading!

Renewed Energy

Business has been good - not great - but good and steady. Lots of referrals of late and that always makes me feel good. Getting a favorable referral from a customer is a great validation for the work you did - at least that is the way I look at it.

I still question if this venture, ACE Computer Services will ever be a profitable venture. I don't lose money with it but I certainly don't make much either. Breaking even would be the best way to describe it. Raising rates is an idea but I really want to stick to my affordable roots - one of the main reasons I started this in the first place.

But that said I have discovered a new found energy of late. I've invested a ton of time in to research and reading and been more active with my ACE Blog. Because of that I have been really into the learning and business side - expanding the business through new mediums like Twitter and Facebook, learning about new and emerging technologies and expanding my own technical knowledge - things like that. So as an educational experiment ACE Computer Services continues to reward.

Hi Alice - thanks for the comment and suggestion. I am in the Central Jersey Network but I have used Facebook much more for social connections - old friends, etc. than pushing any business interests. Aside from a link to my main site I have not done anything else there yet but I have been considering doing some more.
