From USC’s Marshall School of Business to #2 at T3 Media Marketing - My Experience from the College Life to a Start-Up.

Author:  Eric Henningson

College was fun. Work is work. However, work is what you make it.  I dabbled in Entrepreneurship in college, creating a social networking and Craigslist inspired website for USC Students after I saw a void in that area online.  After a summer of talking back and forth to my website manager in India, my site launched and I was pretty excited.  However, Facebook came out with their own version of Craigslist a week prior to my website launch, and unfortunately a week after that, USC came out with "My USC" which pretty much did everything my site did, but better.  To make a long story short, I learned a heck of a lot creating a business and even more about myself in the process. 

To sum it up, I majored in Entrepreneurship and Marketing, graduated about a month ago in May 2010, and now I am the Director of Marketing at T3 Media Marketing.  Going from college to the working world was a huge, if not the biggest in my life, transition.  After working for a pharmaceutical company, an insurance giant, and for myself, I quickly discovered that being in a start-up company is exactly where my interests and talents intersect. Where else can you set your own hours, do what you enjoy, and make whatever money you deserve?  In essence, you really are what you make of yourself.  Money & success will come if you put two things together: knowledge of the industry/niche you are going after, and the desire to get things done.

Teaming up with the owner of T3 Media has enabled us to do just that.  After seeing a fundamental flaw in the small business sector online, Trey Markel mapped out his own destiny by creating T3 industries with a passion to help small businesses achieve their goals through a single website.  Instead of small business Entrepreneurs having to go to all types of websites and businesses to meet all of their business needs, especially business financing, Trey’s vision is a one-stop Internet shop that would give small businesses all the tools they need to grow and survive. The initial phases toward this goal have been started and I have been given the responsibility to carry out a vision that is shared between the two of us: keeping small business Entrepreneurs like us happy and determined to carry out their dreams through an easy to access online portal.  Our dream is to turn this fictional place into a reality, and we are eager to make this happen.  We believe that if we build it, they will come… You can get information about factoring invoice, unsecured business loan, and small business loans
