100% Gautier – Day 1
Well, some of you may know, and others I haven’t yet told, but today marked the first day in dedicating myself to my photography/video/web business… and I’m excited and scared at the same time!
I resigned from my day job as a Business Development Manager working for a Telstra Business Dealership 4 weeks ago, and have taken the plunge into working for myself from home. Some may say that now isn’t a good time to take such a risk given the economic downturn, but the way I see it, there’s always going to be weddings, 18th’s and 21st’s, anniversaries, and corporate functions that need to be photographed and or videoed. I have a back log of customer work that has been waiting for me for the past few months, and for the next 2 months, I have 7 weddings booked that I’m shooting!
So, what did I do on my first day of being a dedicated employee/boss of Gautier? I setup a second computer, cleared out all the rubbish and junk from the study and it is now a place I can seriously call my office ![]()
Various computer equipment and media was purchased, Windows and applications setup on both computers, setup a filing system both for softcopy and hardcopy, and the finishing touch tonight was my email signature. It’s now 12:17am and I’m ready to crash!
It’s such a great feeling to know that I can put 100% into my day focusing on the thing I love to do and constantly learn about, capturing (photography/videography) and sharing (DVD’s/websites).
Good night all, and thanks to those who have said kind words of support.
But most of all, thanks to Wong for believing in me
Well done mate!
I’ll have to visit you in your ‘office’ one day during lunch =)
Congrats, It is a step forward towards the dream and that liberated feel for not need to answer to anyone (only to Wong). must be a great feeling. Good work Glen. Best of luck to Gautier.
Good stuff. Just don’t get slack by sleeping in and vegging. It’s so hard to resist Oprah and Dr Phil.
remember, if you need any help, let me know. i’ll even work for free. just tell the australian government i’m legal. =)
Hey Glenn! Congrats on the big jump, great to hear that you’re grabbing the bull by the horns. Sounds like you’ve got a pretty good set up going on too
Keep up the good work (and stay in touch too)!
