Starting a 3-week workshop to Build a Better Business

Marcus had a failing filmmaker moment. His company was hired to do some real estate photos. The camera refused to connect to his phone. He couldn't manage the camera and had to shoot blind. The pictures ended up grainy. He learned that you need to know your gear and be prepared with back-up.

Talking about Goals: - How to set them - What that looks like - What is or isn't a goal If you're not setting goals, you're missing out on an opportunity to move forward. You need a benchmark to move forward. If you don't set goals, you'll never achieve what you want to achieve. Goals allow you to focus your attention and break down into smaller, bite-size goals. Goals allow you to organize and manage your time. Figure out how much time you need to spend to make the money you want. Follow the SMART format for setting your goals: - Specific - Measurable - Achievable - Relevant - Timeframe Common mistakes when setting goals: - Conflicting Identity and Purpose - Task vs. Goals - Setting Goals that you Can't Control - Focus on What you Don't Want - Being Too General - Lacking Realism Bad vs Good Goals Follow the form and set a goal. In the next 6-months what will your business do?

What to consider when you are writing a contract or when you are going to create a month-to-month or yearly contract with multiple or different clients. #1 - Be very specific in the amount and the type of services you will offer for that price. #2 - Make sure that you list that the client is responsible for any additional cost that come out of filming. #3 - You need a termination clause. #4 - Make sure you are crystal clear on the expectation for everything.
