NAICS: 541 Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Description: Search Engine Marketing (e.g adwords) |
| I started with an agency that managed clients advertising a few years ago and I realized clients come and go but I wanted a company that owned the work they had done for the client. The client leaves when their business is doing better and takes all the work with them. Ultimately I was trying to eliminate the client from leaving. I believed I could so I started my own business.

NAICS: 624 Social Assistance Description: Church Child Care |
| I decided to get into this business because I felt like I could provide a place where stay at home parents could have time to focus on God and not have to worry about their children. My initial goal for starting this business was to provide a safe place for stay at home moms and dads to bring their children once a week, so that they could have some church study group time. I chose this job because I am a stay at home mom and thought other parents who stay at home with their children and go to church would love to bring their children to a place where they can have time to learn and grow with God themselves and their children as well. I never had a goal in mind that I would make a lot of money and that was never my intention. After I had kids I found an alternative to working and a place I could bring my children and stay busy creating lessons and activities. Being free in a business where I could make my own rules and not have to work under someone else was something I always wanted. |

NAICS: 722 Food Services and Drinking Places Description: Thai Restaurant |
| At first, the initial goal of this business was my wife’s idea. She wanted a stable and steady income where security was involved, and did not want me to continue working the delivery company due to my health. So in order to start, we saved up a little bit of money and had to make a huge risk of using some funds we saved for our daughters who at the time was three and eleven. From the time being it took about five years of determination; blood, sweat and tears were definitely one of our headlines in our life. Our initial goal was to bring authentic Thai food into the taste buds of this country, along with pairing the meals with the German wines. The food was from generations passed down to my wife from her mother and grandmother, along with my mother and grandmother. So of course she wanted to share the cuisine she was taught her whole life to be shared with our guest. She wanted to educate the public that there are more to Thai Food besides Pad Thai and Pad Se Ew, slowly along those years it took time, but soon it prevailed and recognition has been achieved. |

| I have always liked to design and do art as a hobby. When I was in school, I got a lot of positive feedback from my peers. People always said “Hey, you should put that on a T-shirt” or they would hire me on for odd jobs. After doing so many different free-lance jobs, I decided that I turn this into a more consistent situation. So, with the help of some of my buddies, we worked together to start this business. |

NAICS: 621 Ambulatory Health Care Services Description: Dental Office |
| At first, I wanted to be an architectural engineer. Though, at times I knew I wanted to start my own business. I got into the dental business when I first started working. After working at a dental office for ten years, I didn’t like the way things were being run. I knew the only way to I could be satisfied was to start my own business. I then realized I wanted to be my own boss and started my own business. Having the knowledge from my past job, I figured I would know how to run a dental office. I worked both with the cash flow and patients. I knew all there was to know about running a dental office. |
