Whew – 2010 – can you believe it?? I feel like 2009 was just a big blur because it FLEW by – but lots of great things happened:) Jay and I bought our first house, I did a LOT with my photography business, and most importantly, Jay and I got engaged! 2009 was such a whirlwind that I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store. One thing I’m definitely looking forward to is growing my business this year – because as much as I LOVE photography and getting out there and shooting, I’m a big nerd at heart and love the business side of photography just as much. It’s so empowering growing my own business, working toward something that I have so much passion for and drive to accomplish.
I came across a post on Seth Godin’s blog the other day that has 8 interesting questions – I think would be beneficial for all photographers out there to ask themselves these questions to re-evaluate their business and start setting goals as we kick off 2010:
- Who are you trying to please?
- What are you promising?
- How much money are you trying to make?
- How much freedom are you willing to trade for opportunity?
- What are you trying to change?
- What do you want people to say about you?
- Which people?
- Do we care about you?
(and after each question, ask “why”?)
I know I’m going to answer each of these questions as I start setting goals for my business this year:) So that’s one of my New Year’s resolutions – really focus on growing my business and reaching my business-sided goals this year. I also have another resolution, but I’ll save that for a later post:)
In the end, I’m SO excited to see what 2010 has in store – but I know one thing – it HAS to be a great year because I get to marry my best friend in the whole world in October, and I. CAN’T. WAIT.:)
Hope everyone had a safe New Year’s, cheers to 2010!
