LET’S TALK ABOUT
THE BUSINESS

  • My journey into entrepreneurship.
    Shortly after graduating from Kansas State University (go Wildcats!), I ventured out on my own and founded a technology consulting firm in 2010. As any entrepreneur will tell you, getting started was tough; I took my stack of 100 business cards and went business to business selling my services. After much hard work and many "jobs well done," I had grown my company to more business than I could handle.
  • Business has always been about helping people.
    I recognized through my IT consulting company that many of the businesses I worked with were incredibly passionate about serving others, but were spending too much of their energy and effort trying to figure out "the business side of things." I felt a strong calling to help other businesses succeed more easily, using strategies I had benefited from in my company.

    In 2015, I fully transitioned out of my IT consulting firm and into business advising. It is incredibly rewarding to see my clients get excited about their business and take control of their future.
  • The BUSINESS LIFE podcast.
    Growing up in a small town family business, I have always valued one-on-one interactions with customers. I built my first company solely on relationships and referrals. Of course, there are limitations on personal interactions - I can only talk to so many people in a week.

    I wanted to bring more value to businesses who were searching for it, both in my network and outside of it. So, in 2017, I launched The Business Life podcast.

THIS IS THE
HEIM FAMILY

Andrew, Lauren and Bear

Lauren and I have been married since 2012 and we got our dog, Bear, shortly after. As you can see, Bear loves going on all the adventures with us.

Lauren is a business owner too – she started Lauren Heim Studio in 2014. I make up the “analytical” half of the family and Lauren rounds us out with the “creative” side of things. With Lauren Heim Studio, she leads others to live a more creative and joyful life through the art of modern hand-lettering, as well as her blog laurenheim.com. And if two businesses weren’t crazy enough, we both work from home. Every day. Hear what that is like in episode 11 of The Business Life podcast !

We are outdoorsy people – walking, playing tennis, working in the garden, drinking homemade cocktails on our patio . Of course, small business is a huge part of our lifestyle. We don’t just own businesses, we support local, small businesses as much as possible. We feel it’s our responsibility to keep every local bakery, coffee shop and restaurant within a 15 mile radius in business.

Make sure to connect with Lauren (@laurenheimstudio) and I (@andrewheimbiz) online and say hello!

WHY I LOVE THE
BUSINESS LIFESTYLE

There’s something special about running your own business – you are able to directly see the payoff from all of the hard work you put into it. It’s amazing the level of enthusiasm you feel to see a happy customer and know you made a huge difference. There’s also the gratification knowing that you are in control of your future – you can change it, mold it and reap the rewards.

I want you to experience a highly rewarding business as well! I hope you will stay connected and let me know how I can help you in your business journey.

– Andrew
