| November 9, 2008 |  View for printing |
Jonathan Porta's journey into entrepreneurship has been more thrilling than a carnival ride, more satisfying than the typical things teenagers do to make money.
"I'm excited for the future," said the owner of OSP Enterprises http://www.ospenterprises.com/ . The company specializes in Web site development, graphic design, e-commerce, Web hosting and computer repair.
The 18-year-old high school student faces challenges that are typical in most small businesses. He's looking for the most effective way to advertise and has hired two employees to handle a mounting work load. He's even familiar with the less glamorous aspects of running his own business, like turning a nonpaying customer over to a collection agency.
And, if the business doesn't keep him busy enough, Porta is wrapping up his senior year at Senior High and taking two classes at Rocky Mountain College.
