•I use to have a photographic memory for phone numbers, etc but it was "over-exposed" (pun intended). I rely heavily on my address book in Outlook Express and my cell phone to help me remember now-a-days.

•I met my goal of owning and running my own successful company, but now my goal is to be able to afford to pay myself the benefits and perks that I got when I worked for someone else.

Greg Austin’s Experience

• Owner- Franchisee

  Town Planner Kentuckiana

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  February 2002 — Present (7 years 6 months)

  We are a direct mail resource guide mailed to homes and businesses in specific communities around Louisville-Metro. We are the local franchisee of what started in Cleveland, OH in 1987. The foundation of the publication is a Jan-Dec calendar for the year, and it also contains tons of community specific information like school schedules, sports schedules, local events and local happenings... money-saving coupons and cool local photography top it off. My specific responsibilities include rounding up sponsors (advertisers) to help make this a FREE publication to the readers. I also manage an independent contractor sales force, and have overall responsibility to meet print deadlines. We are always in need of more "community-minded" individuals to help us as we grow.

  1998 — 2002 (4 years)

  Sold, leased and placed the small cash dispensing ATMs like you find in convenience stores and other retail locations. I worked with retailers who were willing to own their ATM equipment as well as retailers who wanted a financial institution to place an ATM within the business. I also worked with banks and credit unions willing to buy and maintain ATMs, but needed locations willing to accept an ATM.
