I forgot what it feels like to go to the store, the one you want, try on different dresses and do not really care that much about the price at first, just look for THAT one that is going to take your breath away, then look at the price and go, well, not bad, I guess could be worse, I can afford it! :) Or, go the the mall and get lost there with shopping bags tangling around your arm wrist!
It's is so crazy how I do not see other way anymore- photography is becoming THE ONLY WAY for me. If before I was playing around with it and thinking oh well, it is just that thingy on the side, now, I am loosing clients because I do not have enough free time and give it all away at Kroger. And I don't like it there anymore. My review is up this week, I am almost done with it too. I have to "ask" for promotion and advancement, talk to my supervisor about possible moving to training to be a store manager, the thing is I AM NOT Interested. I want to be a professional photographer. Just do that. But it is so scary.
I run my numbers and tried to figure out the way to do it on my own. Well, as a small business owner and to make at least 50K a year ( after tax and expenses and all that good stuff) I would have to generate at least $600 in sales per client and have at least two of them each week. Hm... It is crazy how scary this is all for me and at the same time- it is the only way.
My mom is supportive and everything. But with my move to FL next year, I do not want to invest into opening business here at all. Shit. I am like that balloon who got strained to the tree- I want to fly but can't so I tremble in the air....
