Business Plans
You know, I'm fed up with working for people who don't appreciate my dedication and work. I'm always throwing myself into my jobs, dedicating so much passion and energy into supporting that company and my work to be completely under appreciated and never get anything from these jobs. No more! I'm going to shift that energy into my own work.
In Vancouver, Business licences expire every year on Dec 31. My goal is to be ready to get a business license, and purchase it on Jan 1 2012.
So our plans right now, are to work hard, get Hello, Albertosaurus, Daqueran, and BATP completed and out to the world so we can have stuff to sell. We'll make a couple art books as well, and some other misc merchandise... Attend lots of cons.
I'm going to come up with a business plan so we have an outline of our goals. I'm going to run online classes and workshops to save up money to have a financial cushion as well as "business" money set aside to purchase products and stuff. We wont really have must start up cost or expense really, beyond living expenses. Most everything we do can be print on demand sort of things, or order online via places like IndyPlanet.
I expect that the first 6 months or so of official business life wont be profitable, but ideally I'd like to go down to part time at Opus in Mid 2012, and wean off of the safety job all together within a couple years.
The Classes I run I think are crucial to the saving. We simply don't make enough money to really save too much right now, But the classes go into my Paypal account so then it sits there and it takes forever to transfer out, so we don't bother to, LOL. Then the money is there to use to order product. LOL.
I've been looking for some information on Taxes etc as well and so far it seems like we'll not have to worry about that right away.
Anyway, Wish us good Luck. We'll Put Gurukitty Studios on the map :D

BLORG
Well, despite one "complaint" (first I've ever gotten on any of the classes I've EVER taught) I think my class is going well. I think the complaint was more a lack of reading comprehension than a real complaint though. Whatever, I've gotten more positive feedback than bad. I'm often skeptical of people who say they're teachers taking a class like mine. I feel like they're going to just take my information and reuse it in their class; a risk I have to take I suppose.
I've posted a couple images I coloured on Live stream today. Check out this post on my other blog!
Starting on the 20th I have a week and a half off. I'm so excited. I'm pretty desperate for some time away from work. Just desperate. I need to be away from the same people, feeling unappreciated and stressed constantly because my time is always the first thing pillaged.
Away.
I need to NOT think about the store for a while.
So Donut is putting an order on Dick Blick so I'm FINALLY going to get some grey Multiliners because Donut lets me throw them on her order! Cool No?! COOL YES!
I'm Very excite! I need it, bad.
