Suggestion business section?

MJB DIGITAL · 02-01-2009, 09:59 AM

Here is an example of something that I would be posting in the Professional/Business Section:

As my business grows, I find myself standing in front of my easel pad, nailed to the wall, sketching out and writing different plans and making models for my business.

I have been shopping for office space just to check out the market, even though I don't plan on getting an office studio till 2011, I'm pricing out bridal fairs [soon], and pondering what my list prices will be in the days when I employ people [with the goal of paying well to hardworking talented artists].

My next piece of 'art' up on my easel pad will probably be a mock up of a monthly budget that includes my future employees, the rent, average product cost, advertising, and a savings plan for my biz that will also fund some christmas bonus action, etc.

So, if you have the time and know your budget plan well, could ya post it up? I want to see those costs. I want to see a live breakdown of how you split the money up to fund the different activities of your businesses.
I'm mainly looking for percentages, dollar amounts are cool too, but if you post up dollar amounts, let me know what your average monthly income is, or if you are a wedding photographer, what your average package price is as well as monthly income.

Thanks! 8)
