My name is Jonathan Butterworth. I’m an entrepreneur and internet marketer. I want to test the limits and discover what is possible in life, to find out what I am capable of, and hopefully use the information I gain to live a better life and help others do the same.
I started doing web design almost 15 years ago. I discovered web design at a young age and started making websites about things that interested me. Eventually I moved on to make a website for my church. This was before most churches had websites. I was continually learning new techniques and I found myself redesigning the website every couple of weeks. Web design became my passion.
As my interest and knowledge grew, I began thinking of ways I could make money with my new talent. I never made much money, but I would design a website for anyone who would let me. I started to realize that I loved working for myself. I always had a new idea on how to make a little extra money. I can remember as a child setting up a tent in my room where I sold all the things I no longer wanted to my friends. Though I may not have realized it at the time this is where I developed my desire to be an entrepreneur.
When I was in college I studied business and computer science, but did not find the things I was learning enjoyable. I had no idea what I really wanted to do. But one thing I did know was that I wanted to work for myself. When I was in my second year of college I dropped out to travel the country. During this time I started several short term businesses that were fairly successful. Those experiences reaffirmed that I wanted the satisfaction and freedom that working for yourself brings.
I finally ended up in Austin, TX and was eager to start my own company. I immediately started brainstorming about my next business venture. I developed several websites that generated some passive income, but unfortunately not enough to live on.
At the beginning of 2009 I started a company that provides web hosting and other web services. After a strong push using social marketing this business started to grow and has continued to grow.
Since then I have started several other businesses and have had great success.
While I want to make money, that is not my main purpose when starting a new business. I want to start businesses that I will enjoy and that will challenge me. Like I said before, I want to test the limits and discover what I am capable of.
