Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Peter Murnieks, Founder of Murnieks Services, located in San Diego, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

My business is in marketing, advertising, and brand identity.

Tell us about yourself

I love what I do. The secret in life is to find a healthy obsession and then find a way to make money on it. That is what I did, and it has continuously evolved from there. People come to me because I am a one-stop shop for multimedia campaigns. I have created work for people, small businesses, and franchises.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is that I still do what I love. It was, and is, not about the money. It's about the relationship that is built and the trust you create. I have had clients for over 15 years because of this. Yes, having a business for most people is about money. For me, it is about lasting customer relationships. The best part is that your customers become your advertising. It is an amazing feeling when you get a random call from someone saying, "I heard about you and would like you to create some work for me." That is the best!

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Constantly working.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. 1 The purpose of your business needs to solve a problem.
  2. 2 You have to believe in your product or service. If you don't, you are lying to yourself and your customers.
  3. 3 Love, love, LOVE what you do. You don't want it to be work; you want it to be a pleasure to go to work every day!
