What's your business, and who are your customers?
Video/Content Marketing videography business focused on helping business owners create shareable and convertible content to reach their professional goals.
Tell us about yourself
The business stems from a combination of love for videography and a knack for marketing. As a graduate with a business marketing background, I saw a gap between videographers who desire to create art and achieve visual aesthetics without asserting a purpose or any other value for their clients. The motivating factor for me every day is the lifestyle that allows me to meet and converse with business owners from all walks of life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is having consistent clients reporting back to me about their return on investment in the future time with the videos we made together.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Wearing all the hats and realizing that in order to start delegating tasks requires an immense amount of personal growth.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The abundance mindset is extremely powerful, in finance, in trust in others, and in a positive attitude. Keep working on yourself, as how the business is doing is a direct reflection of how much growth you have gone through as a human being.
