Matt Ebenezer here from Shadowplay Photography and Video in Australia.

Here’s a quick chat about something that is important to the successful running of a business – estimating your business costs for the year.  

Do you know how much your business will cost you this year?  It’s a simple exercise, yet easily avoidable.  To help you get started in identifying your expenses and determining how much you will spend a year, download this list of some of my expenses.

Just a small piece of encouragement to help you run your business better.



Greetings Y'all,

Matt Davis from Life Stage Videography in Wilmington, NC here with ya.  Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Tell me if you know someone that fits this bill:

A lot of videographers are really good at the art of what they do.  They become popular, they start getting more and more referrals, and yet, they find themselves mired in a job they've created for themselves instead of having the freedom of owning their own business.

Sometimes studios work 7 days a week for months, just to reduce their backlog incrementally.  So many of us are 1 or 2 person operations, so we ask "How in the world do we expand our team when people request MY work, MY way of shooting weddings!?" 

Do you know someone like that?  Has it been you?  Is it you?

Hopefully this short video can point us all in the right direction, of building a business that begins to live without you.

More later!

MD
