End of October 2010

Well another month passed by of being self - employed and the world is becoming less scarier and Im becoming more confident as each day ensues. I've met some awesome people in the event planning industry and wedding world. Recently, I signed 2 great contracts and another one is in the works for tomorrow! God is really showing me great things so far. I tried ten days of radio advertising and I found networking to be more effective. We just joined another wedding show at the Shaw in January and we are pumped about it. (Bridal fair)  This weekend we got to debut MOJO Photo booth at the Fashion Show for Cancer in Camrose, Alberta.  She was great and the tweaking makes this booth more amazing. It was great to see the ladies try on the props and laugh and keep coming back.  Our new website reached 652 visits this month and 892 pages viewed. Im glad people are checking us out! It seems Friday is the busiest for viewing our website. Is this the slackers at work? hmm   Anyways, November is looking busy and I will keep you updated!

BMP - Boller Media Productions

Feel the teasings of the November season approach through the grayness and coolness of today. It represents a new season approaching.  This business takes alot of work, and confirms my rant for people, that you can not do your dream business 100 percent and hang on to your other job. I do realize, like I had to, that you have to do both to get it started though. I attempt to document any blessings I have received to give Glory to my true boss - God.  We made 2 contracts last week and have some hopeful other business for the Photography business coming up.  Its all very positive at this time and I look forward to making new relationships, as relationships is what business is all about.  My highlights last week were meeting the positive entrepreneurs of Bossy Mama and Carol herself!  I also had a great meeting with Specialeventrentals.com  who were very friendly and helpful.  I truly love this industry and sometimes feel I am in a dream. Thanks God!

This photo is posted, to say My G daughter turned 2 this week! Happy Birthday Hailey Bean from Papa!

Homeless Connect V

On Sunday, I had the privilege of going to the Homeless and Inner city initiative at the Shaw conference Centre. One day I was talking to my wife that I would like to do family portraits of inner city people, and the very next day, I run into Dave Ward who approached me in Future Shop, and asked if I would be the photographer this year. I was honored and in awe of being "tapped" by my Creator.  I get teary when I watch my gallery on my website, as everyone had a mini story to tell. One of my favorite's is this man, who said, I have a picture of me for my Mom!  I was moved.  It is my purpose that I learned in Choices " to share my love with others, so they may feel their worthiness".  I was truly on purpose that day. I am thankful to my team, who made it all possible and I needed every one of them!

MoJo in da house

I am really thankful for every person that hits the LIKE button, because it give me encouragement.  Kinda like if there was a team of cheerleaders outside my house, yeah!  Happy Days!  BMP photography will be doing family portraits at the SHAW conference center on Sunday for the inner city. very exciting to give to the community. Always looking for volunteers!! Have a great weekend.  I am thankful for the assistance of Technicare Edmonton and Kingsway Minuteman press, oh and Costco!  Oh and Bossy Mama this week! Oh and Sherwood Park Toyota!..  ;)

Thanksgiving Weekend

I am so thankful to my Creator for the blessings that he has given me. I claim his promises to take care of us and all that we have been entrusted with. Every success and dollar we make is not for our glory. It is to show how great He is! This is a Thanksgiving like no other! Happy Thanksgiving everyone and if you read this, I pray for blessings for you! Love me

what I learned from 28 Entrepreneurs

So like the article I shared today, I put some blurbs from it  that helped me and I will focus on them for the growth of BMP.

Failing fast is always better than spending years of your life on ideas that have no chance out there. Release often, iterate, repeat and if it does not stick -- cut your loses and move on. ; network, be persistent, let your interests and passion be your driving force; never get too high or low - keep an even keel; focus on what you are good at and not what you are trying to improve at, learn how to study, data decision driver; figure what you would be passionate about for 10 years from now and go for it; release often, repeat., fail and fall often- re evaluate and try again; Trust your own opinions and ideas, how where you have been, where you are now, where you are going;work on projects aligned with life goals; Go after the crazy ideas that pop in your head; Just before you think you can not make it, is before you make it; don't lose sight of who you are; skip vacations - indulgences for awhile; invest blood sweat and tears; be honest with strength and weaknesses; promote yourself; outflow equals inflow - promotion, blogging, emails, social media, build strong teams that believe in your vision, Family First.

This is advise from other entrepreneurs who wish they had it when they started. Word!

The Booth is our 3rd at Capital X - Northlands. Each year we learn what didn't work the year before!
