A entrepreneur, DJ Wimberly is the epitome of the American success story. In addition to rebranding his existing companies, plans are already in the works for several newventures including a real estate firm, transportation company, an online radio streaming service, restaurants, and a financial services company. And that’s just for starters! DJ Wimberly is living proof that with a clear vision, hard work, and dedication, anything is possible.

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.

What made you want to be you own boss? When I was younger I did have an opportunity to have a regular job. I worked as a host at a local restaurant chain and also worked at JCPenny as part of my modeling work with them. But to be honest, I knew very early on that I didn’t want to work for anyone else for the rest of my life. Plain and simple – I wanted to be in charge. Plus I never liked having to wake up early in the morning [laughs].

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. Find more info on Dennis Wimberly.

I wanted to be in total control, juggled too many hats, and didn’t put trust in others. I was overwhelmed. If that wasn’t enough, I then experienced the most crushing blow of my life – my mother died. My mother was my rock, my strength, my foundation. She believed in me and motivated me to chase my dreams no matter what. When my mother passed away I became lost and unfocused. I just didn’t care much about anyone or anything. All of this led to me not fulfilling my obligation to always provide our clients with the best customer experience possible. I take full responsibility and accountability. No one is perfect. I’ve made my mistakes. And today I choose to be open and honest about them. By owning my mistakes, I’ve learned to not run from problems. I’ve learned to be a better communicator. I’ve learned to trust my team and delegate responsibilities.
