It's hard to believe that an idea to generate income over five years ago has now become my job :) Happy 5th Anniversary to Rebecca Simeone Designs! While I strive every day to think about how my business can get better and improve with time, I am just grateful for all of the experiences I've had over the last five years. With business changing in so many ways especially in the past two years, I know I'll never forget this time in life where I learned so much about ME. I hope that 2013 for Rebecca Simeone Designs is the best year yet!!!
The cold winter months are ALWAYS so nice to take a step back and breathe a little bit from a hectic year in business. Before I know it, spring will be here and wedding season will be in full swing and I'll be busy again. These slower days are good for preparing for tax season (ugh) and setting goals to make my business year better and easier.
My BIGGEST business goal for the next year is to be better at the "business" part of my business. I need to be better about tracking all of my expenses, income, mileage and the nitty-gritty aspects of being a business owner. My biggest fault is not doing this throughout the year, thus leaving me panic stricken for the weeks leading up to tax season. I've already posted reminders and post its around my house to track everything as it comes, every expense, every mile I put on my car, EVERYTHING!!
I always get nervous during the cold months and think to myself...when will I start booking sessions for the new year!? The calendar is very quiet for 2013 and I know business will come...BUT the waiting part is hard!! Without having a studio space or even an office space to do photography sessions, it makes it harder for me to book sessions over the winter months. While business is slow I am constantly dreaming and brainstorming ideas for my dream office space or studio space one day (preferably in the a house I will own one day soon!!) Right now all I hope is that business picks up come spring and that my awesome clients and friends haven't forgotten about me :)
Stay tuned for some fun family lifestyle sessions on the blog in the coming weeks!
