1st Year Anniversary!

Today marks the 1st Anniversary for Lowe Studio LLC! YAAAAY!

*golf clap*

Pretty anticlimactic really. Here I am sitting on my desk chair...my unergonomic back-killer chair... by myself. Nobody toasting champaigne with me or anything. But what the hell, it still feels ok.

So I passed the dreaded 1 year business failure curse that plagues a lot of new business ventures and I'm still here! I'm pretty proud of that. Sure I had the help of a lot of friends and family, no doubt.

Looking back towards this first year was something else. If I had to describe this year, I'd say this first year of business is a blur. I think it's best described as chaos.....it's a year full of trial and error with everything from government paperwork to accounting. The rest was came flying by.

I think this coming 2nd year is another challenge entirely. I think it won't be a problem with establishing the business anymore. But this year it will be different because the hype that comes from family and friends will not be as strong so I have to rely more upon my own marketing skills. I think that's natural. My parents and friends were probably concerned I'd be starving to death this first year so I had a lot of help and a lot of word-of-mouth. This year I'd figure I'm not so much the hot topic anymore. :)

So I think year 2 will be another sink or swim year but this time the training wheels are off!
