Magazine & eMedia Publishing Professional & Social Network
The Idea
I initiated this group as place for media business owners to find others with common business interests and functions in the publishing industry. As the owner and CEO of my company, I often wonder how other media business owners handle the challenges and opportunities of running and growing their own business. While the other mediaPRO groups offer great advise on many levels, sometimes I feel they apply better to the media giants, and are outside the application of the small business owner. My hopes for this group is a place to share ideas, feedback, and knowledge that all can use in growing our publishing and media empires.
Am I alone on having a support group for media entrepreneurs? I hope not.

If you look at the history, of some of the greatest magazines, that are published. You will see, some of then started out with just one person, kitchen table, and a good idea.

I can only guess that they had some of the same business/publishing challenges, and rode the same emotional roller coaster as owners of small publishing companies do today. While I feel we have the good workings of a successful publishing/media business, I often think if it will be my daughters [4th & 8th grade] who will dive this company to even greater levels, as happens in many businesses. [I'll be the guy in the old painting that hangs on the corporate walls 100 years from now]
Thanks for the moment of inspiration. Your profile seems to reflect a deep knowledge or interest in publishing history/design.
Also, thanks for joining this group.
