Starting a one man business you have to do everything, unless you can convince someone to work for you for nothing, which is in todays climate is a very difficult thing to achieve.
As an Engineer who worked on a particular type of electronic apparatus for some twenty odd years the senario above never happened, because there was always someone there who had that little bit of know how more than you, you asked the question and in next of no time you were up and running again, problem solved.
Now I find myself away from the sheltered environment of never being stuck to know what to do, starting a business is more than the initial idea. Business has many hats, production, sales, packaging, book work etc etc, what you do and when, unlike the job you had does not seem to follow the same logical steps, so you find like me you do things when time permits or when circumstances dictate. Now I have been painting for a long time, painting dogs and children and seascapes, landscapes and whatever at the time when it suited me, because I would fit the hobby around work.Work now is the hobby stood on its head, yes I have produced what I think the market would like based on a number of questions and research. I painted four members of the British Royal Family, Princess Diana, The Queen, Queen Mother and Prince William. Research has shown that the market was pointing towards the increase in memorabilia collecting, it still does, however sales need a boost.
Anyone reading this letter can help with the question how do i find partners to trade with, would be appreciated. Please have a look at my Portraits a www.manorhousefineart.co.uk. If you were running this Art and Publishing Company how would you solve the question in finding suitable trading partners or how would you explain how one directs more people to the website?
