As of October 2009, I have been self employed for 11 years. Before starting CompareHRIS.com, I owned a\u00a0HR software<\/a>\u00a0reseller business for ten years. With that business, we sold, implemented, and supported other\u00a0HR Information Systems<\/a>\u00a0vendor\u2019s products. After ten years, I was getting pretty burned out. I happily sold the clients of HR Pay \u2018n\u2019 Time, Inc. in October of 2008. I enjoyed the work as a\u00a0HRMS\u00a0reseller but it just wears on you. Any problems, regardless if it\u2019s the product, the consultant, or anything else seems to fall on the owner, which of course was me. More than anything else that style of business is problem solving and problem resolution. I\u2019m thankful for the experience I gained and the knowledge I took from it but I was ready for a new set of challenges. Before my reseller business, I worked in sales for\u00a0Sage Abra\u00a0for five years. In total, I sold, supported, and implemented\u00a0Employee Management Software<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0HRMS software<\/a>\u00a0applications for 15 years.<\/p>\n

In the fall of 2007, I began working on CompareHRIS.com because after looking, I could not find a website that did, in my opinion, a good job of comparing and contrasting the leading\u00a0Employee tracking Software<\/a>\u00a0systems on the market. Today we have twenty of the industry\u2019s leading\u00a0HRIS HRMS<\/a>\u00a0solutions on the site and soon we will hit our 100,000th visit to the site. I am thoroughly enjoying the work and am extremely proud of the results we have achieved. The\u00a0HRIS vendors\u00a0are great and I am truly appreciative of the fact that they all took a chance on my concept from the very beginning. With our\u00a0HRM Software<\/a>\u00a0buyer\u2019s tips webinars, I still get to communicate with the HR community who I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with for the past fifteen years.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that I love my job. Frankly, I think I\u2019m too passionate about it to even call it work. Sure I work a ton of hours but is it really work if you love what you are doing? A friend of mine told me that when he first went into business for himself it was the greatest time of his life. Then one day he woke up and realized it\u2019s just a job. After two years of working on CompareHRIS.com it\u2019s still not a job.<\/p>\n

When you own your own business, everyone regardless if they know anything about your industry and business or not, has advice to offer. I understand this and have seen it for 11 years now. The surprising thing with CompareHRIS.com, however, is that everyone seems to keep offering the same advice. The advice over and over again is that I need to work harder to substantially grow the business so I can sell it. One of my vendors calls CompareHRIS.com my baby. I can\u2019t sell my baby. What would I do then? Would I sell CompareHRIS.com? Well, I am not one to say never so let me say the only way I would sell my baby and my passion is if an offer was large enough that I would never have to work another day in my life unless I decided to, which I would. I\u2019m not even sure I would sell the business even then. I used to play golf and I really don\u2019t like the game. I guess I could start another business but who knows if I would find the passion that I have right now for CompareHRIS.com.<\/p>\n

There have been crucial times in my life that I have accepted the advice of others and often times I was extremely glad I did. This is not one of those times. I am pleased at the thought of running CompareHRIS.com for many years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
