Everyone Starts Somewhere
As I've been building the bulk of my commission painting business, I've been overwhelmed at how much is involved in just getting this thing off the ground. I entered in to it thinking a website with some basic info would suffice. It wasn't until I turned to my friends for advice that I realized I needed a big online presence, expensive equipment, a well-designed website, a decent logo... on and on the list seems to go!


But as a friend recently said to me, "everyone starts somewhere." A simple statement, but it reminded me of who I was and what I wanted. I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset, yet I'd forgotten the basic principles of starting a business. If I want my dream to succeed, I have to give it a good start. Sure I could have started with a sloppily-designed website and improved it as the business grew, but what does that say about where I want this to go? If I want to go big, I need a strong foundation. Best foot forward, and all that, right?

 So here I am, starting a blog; something I was sure I'd never do. But Ray of Paint Studios is my dream, and as I continue to create this business, I grow more and more excited to share it with others. This is going to be an amazing experience, and I hope you'll stick around and enjoy the ride with me.
