Today we got the last shot of the Toys”R”Us project approved, so we are finally 100% finished with that project. It was a great first project to have, but now I’m ready for my next challenge.
I did not get much done on the business front last week. I’m still struggling with updating my website, and trying to get that in working order. I’m currently working on the design while I also try and figure out how to do the coding. Once I get my website updated I will use that to try and find my next clients. I plan to go back to figuring out the government contracts, and trying to get some animation work through the government.
I have also been using this time to meet up with a lot of my business contacts. Checking in with them to see how they finished out the 2014 year, and to see if there is anything either of us learned that might help the other out. I found this to be a great way to accelerate your learning without having to make all the mistakes yourself.
I’m currently in talks with a few different people about projects they need help on. They all seem like fun projects, so hopefully everything will work out. It seems like the number of projects out there is rather limited. Feast or Famine. I have been seeing a lot of Facebook posts by my artist friends that where busy at the end of the year, but are all now looking for work.
Other then that there is not much to talk about this week. I wish I could tell you about some amazing new things that are going on, but this blog is about the real life journey I’m on to start my studio. The truth is that sometimes the real life is not always that eventful. If this was a “Lord of the Rings” movie this would be one of the many walking scenes. Hopefully things will get more exciting soon for all of our sakes.
