Becoming a self employed photographer considering going into business for ourselves, given is not a job or career choice at all... it’s a lifestyle choice. Tthe current economic climate. If not to make a steady There is a misconception that self employed people (let’s income, then at least to make some “pocket money” on call them entrepreneurs please), have life easy - they can the side. Of course, the most important step in all of this is set their own hours, take any time off that they want, have choosing to do it, before we actually make it happen. extended lunch breaks, grab a snack, watch TV... I’m sure you get the idea. While some of these things may be true, Last month, we looked at the role of amateur it’s important to realize that the entrepreneur also has to entrepreneurs and what value they bring to the run the whole show. Even a part-time entrepreneur needs photography industry. In the coming editions, we’ll be to decide on a business model, invest in the business, exploring into more detail, the ins and outs of becoming develop the business, take care of all accounting / tax, a self employed photo-preneur, what it means to be an insurance and legal considerations, marketing, oh yeah... entrepreneur, and how to get started yourself. doing the actual JOB, and oh yeah... try to make a profit! Taking pictures for a living doesn’t seem so glamorous This month, we’ll expose some of the important anymore eh? But actually it is, or rather, can be. considerations you’ll need to focus on (yes yes... all the cheesy puns are intended!), which will hopefully help This is where knowing yourself becomes so important. you make the decision as to whether or not being a self Becoming an entrepreneur is completely freeing from the employed photographer / entrepreneur is for you. shackles of a “day-job”, but there is hard work, and long hours required to become successful at it. For the entrepreneur, there is nothing more satisfying in life than knowing you are Know Yourself responsible for yourself - it’s truly liberating on an entirely The single most important success factor for new level. If you are reading this and you feel that you have any entrepreneur is knowing yourself and what your “the stuff,” then consider embarking on your journey into capabilities are. Ask yourself, “What am I capable of?” the world of self employment, and never look back. This is If your first inclination is to say, “I don’t know,” then (I’m not to say you should drop everything and quit your day going to be honest) perhaps being self employed is not for job! You’ve got to decide what you want to do first, how you. However, if you were thinking more along the lines of, much investment it will require, and will the returns be “I’m capable of doing anything!” - now we’re talking. worth the adventure.

This may sound a little foolish, or even basic, but it’s the honest truth. Patronizing each other won’t help us to move Capability forward (which is afterall -the goal) , so we’re going to lay If you feel that you are capable of doing anything (within it all out on the table! The system of working in a “job” for reason), then you are 95% of the way there. You may not have someone else is the simplest way to make a living.
