Mike Taber said in his blog entry titled Software Startup Myths Debunked, If you're profitable and others will vouch for the quality of your work or products, then working out of your basement isn't going to hurt your image.

In a recent post Jason Fried from 37Signals said, If you're going to schedule a meeting that lasts one hour and invite 10 people to attend then it's a ten-hour meeting, not a one-hour meeting.

I am Jeremy Helms, 29 year old graphic designer, web designer, site architect, programmer, copywriter and ambitious entrepreneur. I was born and live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. This site is my personal periodical for design, code, business and other topics. When I'm not glued to the computer, I enjoy music, movies, late-night television and sometimes a good night out on the town with friends.
I began professional work in the IT industry 14 years ago in September, 1995. I started my first business in 1998, incorporated my second business in 2001, my third in 2002 and my fourth and most recent in 2006. I am a sponge — I am constantly exploring and learning — about business, design, programming, history, society, and whatever pops up on blogs across the web.
