In this episode Kerry Garrison discusses setting realistic expectations when it comes to trying to start a photography business. This episode is not meant to try to squash anyone’s dreams or goals, its simply an attempt to help aspiring photographers to have a solid grasp on what it will take to run a successful business. I talk to people all the time that have just bought their first camera and think they are going to have a full time photography business within a few months. You do need to understand the financials behind what you can reasonably make by selling work. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Q4L9ennq4 Sponsor: GoPro Show Host: Kerry Garrison © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Business, GoCast, Photography, podcast Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #8 – Setting Realistic Expectations appeared first on Camera Dojo.

This is episode one of a new series called GoCasts where I take some normally useless time spent driving to and from clients and jobs and discuss a particular topic.
