I’m thinking of the type of thing you wished you knew sooner. But if you have other advice, please share!

I’m a couple months (officially) into running a videography business and would love to use this post to share and help each other.

My Advice: I was into videography and doing it as a side hustle for almost a year but kept delaying registering myself as a business. If I could go back, I’d do that sooner.

Failure is part of the growing process. The probabilities of your first company being sucessfull is very slim. But a failure helps you with the next company you create.
