Greg Peters commits to riches with Cyber Data Solutions

Greg Peters has one of the cooler business titles around. Not only is he the owner of Cyber Data Solutions, he's also the "Super Hero in Residence". But with the title came responsibility. Or commitment. As the Ann Arbor resident puts it: it required committing to the goal of becoming rich. 

Peters started what has become a successful website-design firm in 1994 as a way to make some extra cash in his spare time, while he worked full-time at the University of Michigan. He quit that job to focus on Cyber Data Solutions in 2007 after reading the "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind."

He points out that the book says, 'Poor people want to be rich. Rich people commit to being rich.'

"That crystallized this in my mind," Peters says. "I had been doing this on weekends and night, but I was going to commit to this."

It's a decision that is paying off. Peters doesn't make cold calls to drum up business. Instead he calls three people every day to search out business leads, which has allowed him to slowly but steadily grow his firm.

He has now reached the point where he has to decide what type of company he wants Cyber Data Solutions to become one day. Will it be one where he oversees employees or one where he only takes on enough work that he can handle? Whether he decides to hire someone full time or bring on an independent contractor, it's clear that even super heroes need help once in a while.
