Ethan Parker

Today I contacted a business broker to get an idea of how easy it would be to sell Parker Planners if I so desired. I was a little surprised. I’m not selling for sure this summer but it would be interesting to see what someone would pay for a promising business with a growing future. At the very least it would give more credibility to our asking an angel investor for money based upon our valuation numbers.

I’ve been working on Parker Planners for the past three years and I guess I’ve forgotten that I’ve been building an asset this whole time. Turns out the asset could be worth something. It’s nice to know that at the end of the day a lot of hard work and thoughtful time put into something really pays off. I’m excited to see where this company goes and where life takes me.

Tomorrow morning it’s off to visit with a programmer about mobile apps. What an amazing industry- smart phones. Just watch this thing explode. Co-founder of Omniture, Josh James told us as a group of BYU students that the current smart phone and mobile app situation is like the internet was in 1995. Ha ha. Yup. Right now is one of those times you will think back to and say “darn, wish I would have thought of something like Yahoo or AOL”. Think of it and give it a go! Why not? Or at least find some kids who are working on the thing and buy a piece of what they’re doing. That’s just how I roll, though. Just trying to prevent future complaining.
