My original goal for this course was to take
in all I could about creating a business plan for the recording studio I plan
to build and operate, Da Chop Shop Studios. It has been a dream of mine since
2003, and I’ve had some sort of recording setup since 2009 when I moved from
Connecticut to Atlanta. The course was chocked with information, and if I may
admit, a bit overwhelming. The course met the goal of providing the road map of
developing an effective business plan, but I may have fallen short of my
personal mark by not fully understanding all the concepts of the course. My
insight, skill and outcome has changed because of this course. What comes easy
to me is what I’m passionate about, and believe in. It makes it easier for
others to believe in your product, service, etc.
What didn’t come easy to me was the
accounting portion of the course, which is clearly the most important. If your
business does not look like it will make money, or you business plan in sloppy
and inaccurate, investors will not want to part with their cash. I learned that
my lack of skills in this area is where I can use the most improvement. As to
how I would apply the material learned in this course personally or professionally,
it’s a must that I utilize the concepts learned from the course content to run
a successful business.
To realize your dream can be a difficult
thing to accomplish sometimes, if not for financial reasons, it’s because
others may “kill the dream” before it’s born. You must plan and research to
make your dream a viable business, not just one that looks good on paper, but
reflects your passion.
