We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Megan Larson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Megan below.

Alright, Megan thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your business sooner or later

Looking back now, YES, I should’ve started my business sooner. Well, I should’ve dove into my business 100% sooner. I started M Rock Creative in 2013 as a side gig, working with friends and family who needed graphic design work. I had been working at a large, local nonprofit for 6 years at that time and I knew that wasn’t where I was supposed to be. I loved the work, but – to be honest – I didn’t love the pay!

I quit my day job in 2016 and went head-first into my business. I wish I had done this sooner, though I don’t know if it would’ve been as successful right out of the gates. Timing is everything.

In 2016, I was pregnant with my 3rd child and my husband had just been laid off. My nonprofit job wouldn’t have paid me enough to cover 3 kids in daycare, so there I was. I was burnt out on nonprofit life and was ready to make the leap, even with the financial obstacles in my way. I’ve always believed that being uncomfortable pushes you toward growth. And that’s exactly where I was…uncomfortable!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

M Rock Creative is a graphic design and website development business based in Wellington, Colorado. M Rock Creative is a one-person company… that’s me… so you know you’ll get personal service and will always be working with the same person. My expertise spans more than 15 years, with experience and education in graphic design, website development, and SEO.

I’m highly invested in making sure my clients succeed, as their success is a partial reflection of my work. I’ve been fortunate to have hundreds of clients over the years, and watching them grow & succeed are some of my most proud moments as a business owner.

I’m authentic, easy-going, and fun to work with. I’m not going to try to sell you services you don’t need and I’m going to give it to you straight. I think my clients appreciate that!

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Relationships are everything and reputations are important. I enjoy working in a smaller community where everybody knows everybody. I have personal relationships with my clients, I sponsor their kids’ sports teams, and I am a part of their lives outside of our professional work together. I want them to succeed, personally and professionally! I think that has helped build my reputation in my market. I’m truly on my client’s team.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

Word of mouth, hands down. There’s no better way to gain clients than to have them sent your way by another happy client. Again, relationships are everything!
