Expressing a strong interest in the music industry, DJ next landed an internship with one of the top record labels in the world. The experience and contacts he gained allowed him to secure a position with a highly regarded artist management firm, which managed one of the top musical artist at the time. It was during this period that DJ decided to launch his signature company – Wimberly Media Group – which included his highly successful web design services firm. Providing high quality websites at affordable prices, his company quickly grew into one of the top web design firms in the nation.
By any measure, Wimberly Media Group has been wildly successful. But running my businesses has never been easy. I’ve spoken about the past challenges we faced as a company – how we became the victim of our own success. As the leader of my organization I had to step up and own our shortcomings. I had to take full responsibility. And I did. But don’t be deceived, running a business is not for the faint of heart. It comes with a heavy responsibility. While business owners gets to reap all of the rewards, they also have to carry all of the burden.
Looking back, what advice would you give your 21 year old self? Wow. You know I’ve learned so much over the last 20 years, I don’t know where to begin. I would definitely tell my younger self to not let the success go to your head. Once you start making money, stay focused on the task at hand. Never get too content with where you’re at. I would remind myself of how important it is to always lead with integrity. Never run from obstacles and problems. Learn how to deal with conflict and take full responsibility.
DJ used the success of his web design company to start several additional subsidiary brands including: Duvi Media – which provided high end fashion wear, Trio Atlantic Management – an artist management firm, Music Hype Online – a digital platform for new artist, Wimberly Interactive – web hosting service, and Ikonic Dance Studio. DJ and his companies have been featured in numerous publications and on several media outlets including CNN. As accomplished as he is, he’s poised for even greater business success in the future.
