Business Sense (and Cents!)

One of my goals for this year was to do something for my business each and every day. Clearly that doesn't mean shooting every day (although I try to bring my camera out daily to take at least one pic), but also marketing, networking, editing, and learning. As the learning part goes - [b]ecker has helped a lot with that (especially the 'daily' part!). I've also done a couple of lunches, a networking event, and a group shoot.

But where do I go from here?

I am trying to build things from the ground up, with a solid foundation. I don't want to move too fast and have a poor background (and a shaky foundation). But I don't want to stand by the sidelines and watch the photography world pass me by. The biggest place where this has presented a problem is investments. I don't have much booked for this year (yet, hopefully). I want to have the right equipment for the job - quality lenses (I have an excellent body already, the awesome 5d), software, a good website, etc. But i'm not sure to to expand first - my work? my network? my equipment? my marketing to have the funds to reinvest? Such a dilemna. Any suggestions are welcome!

And coming soon... I am almost done with my only new years resolution! I have found the list, worked on it, given it a good deal of thought... and only 10 more goals to think of and work out!
