The biggest challenge to completing is making the time to sit down and carefully analyze my current situation. Life is so fast paced that it seems that 8 hours of sleep is a myth. I work full-time, go to school full time and I work part time for my sister. If I don’t count sleep, which averages about 4-5 hours a nite I may have about 18 hours of free time a week. Ok, 18 hours sounds like a lot, but per day that is approximately 2.5 hours a day. Hmmm? 2.5 hours a day to research, write and come up with all the right answers. Its sounds like enough, but it is not. This is not a pity party of what I can’t do, but this is more of a statement of WHAT I already do. I maintain a GPA above 3.5, work hard to be responsible adult and pay my debts and I take care of those I love.
This business plan is wonderful tool, a stepping stone to success. I know that I will eventually refer to it when the time comes to go “live.” Not that I’m not already live but it feels that everything I’ve done to this point is a “beta” version. I’m working out the kinks, refining the product and making sure that what I put out there represents my company accurately. Photography is a passion of mine that has been burning for a while and I do not intend to make excuses up for why I can’t. I need to push forward and refine everything I do so that efficiency is tool that gets me to the top.
This business plan does have a lot of parts to it but it requires the same dedication that I put forward into my photography.
I feel our pain. I am also in school for photography and currently taking a business course as well. I thought it would be easy since I know what I want to do but it turned out to be quit difficult.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you work for special needs organizations. I do as well. I take photographs of children with special disabilities from Down syndrome to autism.
It is nice to meat someone similar to myself.
Good luck with planning your business.
