Hello again Kelley world! I do not know most of you, but if any of you have been following the Kelley Indianapolis Biz Blog since its origin then you might remember me. I was an undergrad student/athlete from 2003-2008 when the Kelley School of Business-Indianapolis started the Biz Blog. I have a Marketing Degree and Supply Chain Management Degree; I also played soccer at IUPUI. I have found my way back to Indianapolis via my career path and I have been asked to rejoin the Biz Blog team.
I am very excited to be a part of this team again. WOW, The Kelley School here in Indianapolis has grown tremendously in the few short years since I graduated.
I have had some pretty amazing jobs in my young career (Manager of event marketing tours for PlayStation, EA Sports, LG, and Sony). These jobs along with my passion for fitness have led me to becoming a business owner here in Indianapolis. Jared Byczko (another Kelley alum) and myself opened CrossFit NapTown back in October of 2011 at 609 N. Delaware St. Indianapolis, IN 46203. www.crossfitnaptown.com
I never truly thought I would become a business owner while sitting through all of my Marketing courses, but my various career choices led me in the direction of becoming an entrepreneur.
Over my next few weeks/post I will talk about the trials and tribulations that my business partner and I encountered while opening CrossFit NapTown and how the Kelley school prepared us for our endeavor. I can say with 100% honesty that we both felt very prepared for our venture due to our course structure as undergrads. We talked many times how our I-core project became real and how the steps we took during that semester in college become real over the course of 6-8 months while we prepared our new business.
As with any new business there have been a few speed bumps in our path, but for the most part our planning and preperation has paid off. Jared has a management background and I have a marketing background; when we combine our skill sets we have a pretty well oiled business machine.
Until next time stay warm and stay healthy.
