Steve Bower says: "I've been in software development and IT project management since the late 70's (I know, I know, I look far too young!) and have been building websites and providing internet consultancy since the early 90's - making me some sort of pioneer, I suppose! I find the challenge of a constantly evolving industry exciting and stimulating - there aren't many jobs where you really don't know what the coming week might bring, Curiously, I didn't start the company because I wanted to build the sites myself (read Michael Gerber 'The E-myth' if you want to know why), but because I wanted to run a successful, profitable and admired company. When I started I had 3 basic rules:

1) No debt (I didn't want the anxiety of being answerable to a bank, or worry about owing money)

2) No personal guarantees (If it all went wrong, there was no way I was going to risk my home)

and 3) Don't ask anyone to do anything I can't afford to pay for (all my suppliers and colleagues know that there will never be an issue with their payment terms.)

and I have since added one:

4) If its not fun, don't do it.

In my spare time (not really sorted that bit out yet ;-) I play with unpredictable but beautiful Italian motorbikes!"
