Hopefully the last two years have only been the first two years of many years you will be in business!

So, if you started over, what exactly would you do differently?

Thank you folks :)
Gosh so many things... where to start!
I would have been braver than I was. Everything I've done up until "lately" has been safe. I'm now actively taking risks in business that I was too scared to do before. I would have built my pricing differently, my bookkeeping, my organizing, just lots of little things that I didn't know how to set up and now that I'm so far into it... it's harder to get organized. I would have changed my viewing software company too. I bought so many props to start off with and some in a rush. I wish I had thought them out better. Things like that.

You hope to be celebrating your business' second anniversary two years from now?

That makes sense somehow.

Congrats on #2!


We're coming up on our corporation's 10th birthday... of course, its only been the last year or so that we've pursued photography as a legitimate segment of that business.

Very impressive. The hard part is not over, but you have a good leg up on many who didn't last this long.
