St. Louis Entrepreneur: The "Art" of Perseverance
From cleaning restrooms and delivering printer supplies in the background of a local software company, to a promotion leading a small creative team at a mere sixteen years old, to a regional creative lead and forward-thinking business head, let us spend a brief moment exploring the desk and drive of this young, yet established, St. Louis area professional. Ryan Quayle is the founder, chief executive officer and senior creative at DigitalArtz, formerly know as Imageworks Creative Group. His company and team of professionals have served St. Louis and its surrounding communities since early 1992.
At thirty-four, already a seasoned veteran eclipsing nearly two decades in the field. "What have I learned... or earned?" "A few gray hairs too early.", Quayle laughs. "Ninety-five percent of what comes your way in life you have no control over. The other five percent we just think we do. This may sound cliché but I'd have nothing without the grace of God. I am my own worst enemy. Prayer and perseverance. Aside from that, know your business, know your client and trust your 'gut'. Know the product and target like the back of your hand. Better yet... the back of their hand. Experience is key." 9/09 sbm.o
