Today’s post is a slight departure from the usual, but something I have been thinking about for some time. Over the past few months, I have been burning the midnight oil in order to launch my creative business, a stationery and custom invitation design company. I know you are probably shaking your head thinking “Oh no, not another stationery and invitation designer” Um, yes, that would be me.
Now I would be lying if I did not say that juggling my family, job and launching a new business is not a bit overwhelming, but I am committed to bringing my ideas to fruition. Some of the pieces are in place, but there is still so much to do, and I want to do right! I am a firm believer in “writing it down” and that is what I’m about to do – right here on my little ole’ blog for the world to see. Each week I will post portions of my business plan - my guide to launching a creative business if you will – to keep me on track. Of course, I welcome feedback, so please feel free to put in your two cents!
If you are wondering why I am calling this column “ A List and a Latte” it is because I'm the marketing director for a physical therapy company and my job is strategic planning and development. Each and every Tuesday I meet with the owners of the company with my extremely long list (and my latte) and we discuss the many projects that are in the works. By the way, I work for three fun and incredible guys who let me drive the marketing train and I feel truly grateful to be a part of such a wonderful company!
If you already have a successful creative business and would like to share your success and possibly dole out a bit of advice, please contact me about a possible guest post.
Next Tuesday I will post my first "List" hope to see you here!
