I’m not dead nor bankkrupt!
DAY 275 OF 1825 // MONEY - £2600.00
————————————————————————
Paid £300 against my debt
—————————————————————————————–
What a bad blogger I’am – I’ve genuinely been busy and my PC was dead for a week, wouldn’t boot and needed a fresh install etc! excuse, excuse, blah blah.
A quick update + what’s going on!
Between 14th of September and 27th, I was in Waltham Cross, sharing a pitch with Capital Windows the rent was split 50/50, business was awful for the first week and strong the second. Not the best trading weeks I’ve had but thanks to the lower rent I done OK with £300 left over to pay against my debt.
Condensed Excel sheet for 14th – 27th Sep

I’m currently in Waltham Cross now business has been slow, doubt I’ll book anything in October next year, if I do it won’t be in Waltham Cross. I’m not sure about other centres, but traditionally it has always been quiet this time of year ‘the lull before the storm’ as they say.
–
Talking of storms – The Santa’s Grotto will be looked after by PhotoNOW. I got some great terms which will make Christmas very profitable for me. One of my three weeks rent absolutely free, making 50p on every photo they take and not having to supply the staff, just the equipment is very sweet, stress free and easy – just the way I like it!
–
Someone is interested in having their own PhotoNOW studio, we’ve agreed on a few things and the person will be doing a few test runs next year with me to see how it works.
–
Having a meeting on Thursday regarding the website, I’ll be pulling all stops out to get it live for Christmas.
–
Have made contact with a great photographer who has a studio in her home, who is interested in collaborating – me selling studio packages from my stand and herself shooting them.

Thanks to all the people who check my blog, sorry it’s a bit boring with slow updates, I wish I could write in great detail about everything I do business related and how it’s effecting my business, but due to the way I write I’m certain that will be even more boring.
I’m still exceptionally confident in hitting my main target, my money counter is a little silly since I’m sinking all my spare money back into PhotoNOW.
All in all, the big picture is rosy , though when I first started my eyes were bigger then my belly and I expected to be a lot further down the line in my plan. I’ve learnt a lot and learning every day.
