Business Operations Plan

My intention for my business is based on digital content, so all of my production will take place in-house and requires no physical materials other than my computer, camera, and audio gear. A typical procedure for developing a set of marketing materials for a client would consist of: researching the client’s band, business or artistic practice, developing a pitch for a music video, corporate video, or series of vertical videos, arranging a pre-production meeting where the ideas are reviewed with the client and production is scheduled, a production date (or dates) to film all necessary assets, and a post-production date or dates to edit the final product together. The client will get a chance to review the material and deliver any notes before the final product is given to them.

Entrepreneurial Skills - Strengths and Weaknesses

My strengths are largely under the employability skills category. I am an efficient communicator, tenacious labourer, and a solution-oriented person. My strengths in the workplace allow me to develop new skills quickly and move into positions of higher responsibility. I have a variety of skilled areas in my chosen field, and I am able to take on a variety of roles in my place of work depending on the needs of the day. My interests are in the field of entertainment, and I work as an industry professional to construct and operate staging, audio, and visual equipment for live events. My experiences in this line of work have made me a competent professional.

My weaknesses include such things as financial planning, sales/negotiation, and people management. I have worked in positions that require these skills, and I have struggled with them. These more socially-oriented skills are areas where I have much room to improve. I tend to gravitate towards more manual work, and perhaps, at the moment, I struggle to find the patience required for more business-oriented pursuits.
