Starting up a business is no easy feat especially when business was not your major in college, assuming one went to college.  It’s all fun and games getting your photography degree but when they shove you out into the world to fend for yourself, what do you do? Your dream is to own your own photography studio but you have no clue on how to start a business let alone run it.  I’ve met many photographers who want to have their own studio but don’t want to learn the business, marketing, advertising, and/or financial side of things and I think that is just not smart. It is not conducive to having a successful and profitable company.

As I journey into  setting up my own business, I am going to write up articles on things that I find, what works and what doesn’t, roadblocks along the way, organizing and planning, etc.  By no means am I an expert on starting up a business…I’m a web developer by day.  I just think it’s important to document as much as I can and if it can help a person out there, then that’s just icing on the cake.
