A business with many facets (stock, assignment, workshops and fine art) is a good thing
as it evens out any peaks and valleys in the sales department. There is never a low period – always something to do.

On the down side, the less immediate deliverables sometimes get delegated to the low priority end of the work list. My current stock submission has been ALMOST ready to go for a few weeks.

Recent stock shoot.

On my Creative Business Seminar I talk about goals for business. Goal setting helps get things done! By June 18th I plan to have it out the door!
