Trying to start my own business has created allot of thoughts in my head. Will I be good enough? Will I take good clear pictures? Will I completely mess up a photo shoot? Are my pictures clear enough? Did I buy the right lens. Will I be able to do my taxes right or will the IRS get me? Will I succeed? Will I have even one customer? Can I leave Katie to do a photo shot. Am I neglecting my kids while I spend to much time preparing for this dream? Who will watch the kids on a photo shoot? will Katie cry the hole time I'm gone. Will my husband expect the fact that starting a business cost a little dough? Where do I register my business? Do I have all the documents I need for clients? Will my Ibs come back to haunt me? Will I make it as a photographer will this dream become a reality?
Can you tell I think way to much! This is a part of me that I don't like so much as my parents always called me a worry wart always worrying. I guess I should just stop and just see whats happens if this is meant to be it will be.

Will I be good enough? - Yes, you already are good enough!
Will I take good clear pictures? - Hello! Their perfect!
Will I completely mess up a photo shoot? - Not possible, with your skills Jen you might get a few bad pictures in the midst of hundreds of good ones, but so does even the most professional photographers!
Are my pictures clear enough? Yes, they always look amazing, detail, lighting, everythings perfect.
Did I buy the right lens? - Haha, well I'm sure you have after all the ones you've told me about and let me play with!
Will I be able to do my taxes right or will the IRS get me? The IRS won't get you, but if you need help Justin and I have lots of experience with this because of us starting our business(not sure if you heard that yet or not) and we can help you! Justin is also studying to be an accountant so he can help about tax questions, and Kyle is a Financial adviser and he can help too!
Will I succeed? Yes! And you have already! Two photo shoots scheduled!? That's great!
Will I have even one customer? Hello, you already have two! It might be slow at first, but once your name gets around you'll be more popular. I'm great at Marketing(promoting your business) and I can give you tips on advertising!!
Can I leave Katie to do a photo shot? Yes, you'll only be gone for a few hours and it'll be good for you to have "Mommy" time and her to have time with just daddy.
Am I neglecting my kids while I spend to much time preparing for this dream? No, just try to balance it all and make them feel involved with it. You already have them involved with your portfolio pictures and I know they love being apart of it!
Who will watch the kids on a photo shoot? If your hubby can't I'll be there! :-)
Will Katie cry the hole time I'm gone? Maybe the first few times, but she'll soon be confident and know that mommy isn't leaving forever and she'll be back soon.
Will my husband expect the fact that starting a business cost a little dough? Hehe, I'm sure he's already noticed! I had a hard time giving extra money to Justin's business at the beginning, but I know that God will take care of us. Ricky knows how important this is to you and he will support you.
Where do I register my business? Again, this should be easy but there are LOTS of steps. I should come over and go through it with you!
Do I have all the documents I need for clients? This is more of a lawyer question, but I can help you with this too, I've done lots of research and have many tools that can help you! :-)
Will my Ibs come back to haunt me?
NOOO!! We won't let it!!!!
Will I make it as a photographer?
YESSSS!!!!!!!
Will this dream become a reality?
YESS!! And guess what? It's already starting! :-)
I hope this is encouraging to you!! We should plan a time and get together and work on the "legal" side of your business, I'd love to help out! :-)
Jen,
Stop worrying. You are a fabulous photographer and once things take off, you are gonna succeed! You can do it, you'll see.
Kim
