I agree, it is hard to be patient, I know all about that! But I think it does help if you keep track of all your wins along the way, big or small. Keep a little Success journal and jot down all our achievements… then when you feel like things are moving slowly, just look in your little journal and see how far you’ve come. We often over-estimate what we can do in 12 months and totally underestimate what we can do in 5 years so it’s good to keep track of it all!

And Andrea, I couldn’t agree more that a professional photographer would be better for sure but with new start-ups or small businesses that don’t have much of a budget at all, a student photographer might be the next best option!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Comment on If your business came to life as a person, what would your customers think? by Vivienne Kane

Hi James

That’s a good question – I think it’s more complex with a franchise – there’s a perception of the brand overall and then the experience of each individual store. Ideally they would be in sync , but with room for the individual owner to give their own twist.

I agree that great photographs make a huge difference in how appealing your products and services are on the web. Your visitors might skip the text if your photos don’t get the right message across. In a tough economy I can understand spending as little as possible on marketing. But, as a small business owner, I think hiring an experienced professional photographer is more cost effective in the long run than a student.

Thinking of your business as a person is an interesting idea Vivienne, it’s something I’ve not personally thought of. I wonder how Minuteman Press would be perceived?

Really like the point – “Tell your story”. People don’t buy into products, they buy into your ideas, your story. If your story is authentic, compelling and genuine, then you need to SELL that!
