New Studio- Phase One

Currently the day to day work is carried out in our 10 X 11 extra bedroom (we work out of our house to keep our overhead and prices down). We need a little more space, so we are embarking on a VERY large project. We are converting our 2 car garage into our new studio. We have no idea how to do these types of projects, so I am sure that it will be an interesting journey. Enjoy the pictures of phase one- tearing down the sheetrock! If you are wondering why we are tearing down perfectly good sheetrock, it is because we need to add some wiring and insulate the walls. At least, that’s what we’re told!

Our Business Coach

If we ran our business based on our love for creative videography alone, we would have closed up shop a long time ago. We quickly learned that to run a successful business, it takes enough knowledge in accounting, marketing, time management, and sales to be dangerous. And just like with any stage in life (no pun intended), people have mentors and role models that have shaped who you are and what you become. Why should running a business be any different?! We are fortunate enough to have Reggie Shropshire of ACTION COACH as an integral part of Life Stage Videography. He gives us a professional outside opinion on the operations of our business, accountability and encouragement with our quarterly and annual goals, and most importantly the confidence to keep making our service to others even better. He is a coach and a mentor in every sense of the word. He is THE “Business Coach” for Wilmington, NC and coaches other business owners all over the country. We are the experts in our industry, and he is the expert on running a business, so its a perfect fit. On top of that, we interact with other business owners in the Action community on a bi-weekly basis. We conglomerate as each other’s “Board of Directors”, helping each other with our challenges and praising our successes. To best get an idea of what our Business Coach does, watch this video we put together for Reggie. And if you or someone you know could benefit from a fresh new video for business marketing, we would love to help! Enjoy the video, and contact Reggie if you or someone you know could use his incredible service! (Also check the links below to get to know the businesses featured in this video.)

Apple Candles

I was visiting a fabulous blog today, Brooklyn Bride. I stumbled across another creative centerpiece idea (shoot, I’m gonna use this in my dining room).

“These candle carvers make centerpiece possibilities endless, and I think can make a stunning statement. In my head, I see a rectangular table covered in a pure white tablecloth, with a single row of green apples all the way down the center, and then just 1 yellow apple for interest.”
