My passion

Business should never be personal, when you get to the point with business that it gets to personal to discuss it without personal feelings getting involved then more than likely your business will fail because of this. I walked away from 2 stores and a 3 story office in Philadelphia a few years back where we were grossing 300 thousand every 3 months because the business the business got personal by pulling a girlfriend into the picture and she was unable to separate our home life with our office life.

Im not saying that it cant be done im just saying that in most cases it doesn't.

Business as usual

A lot of people say that being in business is hard, and I agree I also agree that it is even harder to work for someone else I have not yet grabbed on to the concept that it is better to work for someone else just to maintain my insurance package, I rather make my own business flourish and pay for my own health care, in order to be your own business you must take some of the hardships that come with being your own boss until the business reaches it's full potential. We should also be careful of those who we let represent us and our business because the face of the business ultimately is the business and in business always remember there are only three positions 1. The owner or CEO 2. A partner one who shares 50% of profits and bills and the workers make sure these lines are carefully drawn because each title has it's description and limitations. This is just a small outline on what most successful business owners do and follow in order to become successful. keep this clear and your business will grow and dark area leaves room for era and possibly your business failing.

The best in the business

people always think because they have a camera that makes them a professional, Photographer/ Cinematographer, when truth be told that they don't actually know enough about their camera or the fundamentals of the business to even be considered a modest beginner. Here is how you check to see if they know about the professional side of the business.

ask questions that pro's can resite like their favorite song.

What does ISO mean?
What shutter speed is best to shoot with in our event?
How many of these have you done for pay?
Can I see the jobs that you completed?

And then look at the work and make your own judgement
