About

Hi, I’m Harmonie Ponder, and I help entrepreneurs, independent professionals, small business owners and not-for-profit’s get online, get more clients and bring more traffic to their site.

I grew up in Troy, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit, MI.

Growing up I was always good at math. My mother always told me I should go into accounting and so that’s what I did (of course)! When I was 19, I got a summer job next door to my home selling swimming pools. During the off season, I worked at a record store. A customer of both stores got me an interview and I landed an accounting position with a national drug prevention company. I went to school and worked full time.

Naturally, because of my “can-do” attitude, I was thrust into tackling many different positions there. In fact, I remember instances where I typed the text for the catalog, proofread the design, quoted out the printing, mailed the catalog, sold the order, processed the order, packed the order, and paid the vendor. What else is there? This was great! I began to see the bigger picture of business and gained my confidence while I succeeded.

In 2000, I was assigned the task of creating a 300 page website…manually. I’ll tell you, by the end, I was great at html and restarting the server! By 2001, I was officially the Operations Manager/Controller and the company was doing well. Toward the end of 2003, after 6 1/2 years of service, I felt it was time to move on and that’s what I did.

I made the move to Northern Michigan, to spend more time outdoors doing the things I love and appreciating life more. I changed careers to insurance and in spite of selling 30 policies in one month (3x their average), this wasn’t for me. Next I tried real estate. I may have filled up their rentals, but I still wasn’t being fulfilled. So what did I do? Went back to the one thing that found me joy, accounting. This time I worked for a local office supply company, but again, not for very long.

Agh, I still wasn’t being fulfilled, I had the accounting background to run any business, a high level of integrity, the sales experience to get sales, and excellent customer service - but I had nothing to sell. So I decided on selling my own web related services and for 2 years now I am doing exactly what I want to be doing! Helping other small businesses, just like me, succeed.
