I received a phone call today from a gentlemen that wanted to have a slideshow created for his wedding and unfortunately he has not had much luck in doing so. He expressed to me that everyone either only did it if you agreed to buy these very expensive wedding packages or that it was too complicated for the people he asked.

The funny thing too was that I personally don’t specialize in wedding slideshows per say, but I know from a technical point of view it is the same thing from other things that I have done that require a similar skill set. As a result, the person mentioned that he really wanted to hire me to do it for him.

Should make you think too where if you are trying to maximize your potential in terms of acquiring business that you don’t necessarily need to limit yourself to a specific category. While staying in a particular niche can be good in its own right, the options are there to branch out if you desire to expand your offerings.

Over the weekend I was at a restaurant and it was apparent that it was a family operated business. The staff was very friendly and it seemed like everyone was in tune in trying to achieve a common goal.

This got me thinking on how some people say working with family members in a business is great as you can fully trust the people you are working with. The other side would say that it is a horrible idea as working with people you know very well tends to cause a lot of conflict.

I think the key thing in this circumstance is to make obligations clear while being firm with business issues as you would normally.
