The purpose of Y.F.N.C.G. is to chronicle the journey of twenty-something computer nerd Matt R. as he tries to turn his passion for helping people with computer problems into a successful home-based computer support business in Maryland.

The goal of my business, initially, is to be a Geek Squad-like competitor, offering lower prices, more customization, and personalized service for things like computer maintenance, repair, networking, and installation.  Eventually, I hope to branch out to other areas like training, consulting, networking, and other small business-centric services.

The goal of this website is three-fold.

1. As an outlet to chronicle my approach to starting a business and the lessons learned along the way.
2. As a resource for individuals interested in starting their own business.
3. As a means to foster a community for computer support professionals, people interested in computers, small business owners, geeks, dweebs, nerds, and people who like reading blogs.

This website will, hopefully, progress through three phases:

Phase 1, The Implementation (the first 6 months or so) - I will chronicle the steps I take as I begin planning, forming, and running my business part time.

Pase 2, Trial and Error (the next few years) - In this phase I will describe the ins and outs of running a part-time computer repair business.  Will I fail miserably or continue on to take over microsoft?

Phase 3, The Sustainment (in about 5 years) - This is when I hope to take the business from a part-time project to a full-time business.  If I make it this far then I must have learned a thing or two along the way.  Once that occurs, I will be able to provide content aiming to help others with the latest trends and news relating to computer support and home-based business.  This is what my website is aspiring to become.

I hope to make Y.F.N.C.G. either, useful, inspiring, entertaining, or some kind of combination of all three.  I hope you’ll visit often and join me on my adventure!
