Know thyself...belive in God...dare to dream!

As stated in my previous post, my goal is to highlight young adults chasing their dreams and utilizing their talents.  Today's post is dedicated to my future (6 months to be exact) brother-in-law, Creston Burse.
Creston is currently employed by the State of MS as an IT Project Manager.  In his spare time (which is probably zero considering he's planning a wedding) Creston makes good use of his creative skill set.

"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way"

With graduation quickly approaching, I feel somewhat obligated to let you in on a small secret.  Mr. Burse customizes graduation invitations, thank you cards, and much  more.  See the interview below for a glance into the life of C. Burse!

NRH: What motivates you?
CBURSE: Failure motivates me.  I truly believe I possess the ability to do anything I want in life.  Not utilizing that ability is my greatest fear.

NRH: What inspired you to do your own consulting work?
CBURSE: Freedom.  I've been working since I was 15.  I've been blessed with jobs since graduating college.  My ultimate goal is to be my own boss.  I have always been told that you can't make the money you want, working for someone else.  Consulting work gives you the freedom to control your own destiny.  It takes a lot of hard work, and lots of discipline.

NRH: What advice would you give someone looking to branch out and start their own business?
CBURSE: Well, technically I don't have my own business, but it is in the works.  I can only give the advice that I give myself...just do it!  Time is something we can't get back. Seize the moment and make it count.

NRH: What sets your work apart? Why should someone purchase business cards/invites/etc. from you vs an online site such as Vistaprint?
CBURSE: Creativity.  I am an artist at heart.  I see things differently.  I have the ability to take your ideas, combine them with my particular skill-sets and produce a product that is unique, original, and most importantly personal.

NRH: Could you describe your scope of work?
CBURSE: Right now, I am willing to do it all.  I've done invitations, flyers, logos, websites, project management, business cards, business brochures, you name it.  I enjoy new challenges, so I welcome all potential jobs.  I have an IT background as well, so my consulting work has picked up and allowed me to branch out into other areas.  It includes PC maintenance, network infrastructure, computer infrastructure, and diagnostics to name a few. 

NRH: Where do you see yourself in 5-10 yrs?
CBURSE: First, happily married.  Secondly, in 5-10 I should have several businesses in motion, as well as a more established and developed IT consulting firm.

NRH: Is there anything else you would like to share?
CBURSE: Yeap! Count your blessings and dream big! #HailState #teamLakers #teamPackers

NRH: Last thing, if you could sum up your life, thus far, in one quote, what would that be?
CBURSE: Know thyself, believe in God, dare to dream...and get at me @ www.cburse.com

As you all can see, Creston is making MAJOR moves and he definitely has a bright future ahead.  I can honestly say he does great work because I've used his services on several occasions.  I wouldn't recommend someone I didn't believe in!  So, if you need ANY of Creston's services, I suggest you contact him immediately before he blows up and starts doing consulting work for President Obama!

As always...until next time...
