In the handbook You're Already a Success: Thoughts on Beginning Your New Career by Peggy Ballard, the author says most people need a mantra of sorts to start each day. Look in the mirror, she suggests, and repeat these phrases: "I'm smart. I'm doing a great job. I look great. I have much to offer. I deserve good things in life." Do it every day.

Today's Company: ISOC

'Net Growth: What started in 1996 as WWW Internet Solutions, Inc. was designed to provide individuals and businesses with dial-up access, Web site design, hosting and domain name hosting. Housed in a tiny office in Anderson Township, within six months the company had more than 500 customers. By late 1998, it moved to a downtown Cincinnati location that provided a larger and more controlled environment.

Thinking Small, Making It Big: ISOC has experienced double- and triple-digit annual growth since its founding. While most of its 4,000-plus clients are small businesses, the company continues to serve residential customers.

Breadth And Depth: More recently, ISOC has focused on business-to-business opportunities, adding more services such as database solutions, high-speed dedicated access, e-commerce and consultation.

Both Sides Now: In June 2001, ISOC moved again - to Turfway Commercial Park in Florence, where it occupies 3500 square feet and is the building's largest tenant. Its equipment is housed in the Broadwing Communications facility in Cincinnati.
