It all takes time doesn't it? It's taken a long time to get here and that's almost to the point of being able to practice and slowly launch the business. It's taking a little time but I haven't been here 4 weeks yet and so by that anniversary (next Tuesday) I should have the PC which is arriving on Monday and the final odds and sods to have enough together to run my first jobs. These will be on my mum's photos to start with followed by hundreds of my own negatives, slides and videos. I have already realised that I need to document my processes and run quality checks as I made a few errors in the VHS to DVD transfers today. I have to say that the CD and DVD printer is looking great - I like it and have already sorted out the design for that.
My business cards are great - I love them and have 500 to be getting on with. They have the Black background on one side and my contact details on the other - the black really makes the logo leap off the card.
Hopefully on Monday I can get the PC installed and set up (it will take a long time it always does). The main thing is that it doesn't concern me like it used to. In the old days I'd be upset about it and annoyed and now I know that it will happen in its own good time. That's the way of it.
I am out later today to a meeting and have to go past the house on the way home so I will pop in and See Mrs. F. for a short time. I haven't seen her since I moved here. I have mixed feelings about that. I need to pick up my letters and then also pick up my photos, negatives, videos and other bits so I can start to practice my craft on my own stuff prior to unleashing myself on an unsuspecting public.
Still reeling from the amount of money I've just spent on equipment but it is needed and if I'm going to run a business then I am going to need to do it. Again, I felt some slight twangs about doing it but when I think about it I know that I need to have made this spend. There are some more things that I'd like but I can't see myself getting these until I need them and they should be available and they aren't anywhere near the cost of the stuff I've got so far.
