Happy

     First of all let me just start with telling you my schedule got a bit hectic after the Preschool Partners Food Truck Round Up and Art Show.  I was so happy with how many people were interested in my work and the contacts I made.  I have reached out to most of those people and heard back from some about working with them on commissions.  Yay!  I have also finished working on two commissions for two clients who showed me great appreciation.  This type of thing always makes me happy.  One thing if you have not heard from me, but you have probably heard it from one of your parents.  When going to an event where you are going to make contacts, 'make sure you have a pen and a piece of paper handy.'  This is great advice for probably many reasons, but let me give you the most important one I can tell you off hand.  I have gathered from people watching that people take your business cards and they say, 'they like your work or are interested in it.'  They however will never contact you, because everyone has so much going on that we all forget things.  This is way in business you have to be proactive in getting more clients.  You need to make sure you write their contact information down for yourself.  This might seem like an extra thing to do, but trust me it will help grow your business.  Another thing that I have been doing is stepping out of my comfort zone a whole bunch.  I try to put my name out there for people to see it, which it is starting to work more and more.  That might seem like little things to all of you, but to me I am jumping with joy each day someone is happy with my work.  Honestly, even with my crazy schedule I have found time to re-train my dog which is in turn teaching me how everyday I have to keep learning something new in my business.  It is also teaching me how I need to be diligent with everything I do whether it is photography or another part of my life.
