OMG! 😂 It never would have occurred to me that, for Monique, closing your business would have been an option. 😄 You've got big plans, though; and I can definitely imagine how overwhelming that might be. I know it would be overwhelming for me. Thanks for sharing parts of your journey with us, Monique! You are a gem. 🤗 Robin.... "... it takes guts...." It takes guts for Monique to share this on UA-cam; and I appreciate it.
She touched on some things that are true for every human being. I think people have a hard time taking risks because it's uncomfortable. That's our nature, to take the path of less resistance. Even wild animals will take an established foot trail to go to where they like to eat. Yeah, except those people who are born thrill seekers (I'm sure there is something in their life that they feel is too risky), everyone has a bit of difficulty taking those risks. Starting a business is a big risk. It's hard to get out of our "comfort zones."
@pattymattes7124, you are so right about the challenge of getting out of our comfort zones! Monique is great at getting uncomfortable, right?! I love it that she shares it all while she is going through it to remind everyone that being a little afraid is ok. :)
Oh my gosh! That's it! That's why I'm feeling exhausted. I've been overwhelmed by all the choices I need to sift through. I wonder how energizing it will be to make the decisions I can make. Even if it's one decision at a time of scratching a choice of this list.

Hi Monique. I am starting my photography business again and focusing on pet photography this time. I am wondering what types of dog print products my clients would be interested in. I want to offer things I imagine a pet owner would realistically purchase. How many people have a large canvas of their pets on their wall? Would I be selling myself short if I were to offer, for example, things like calendars, mugs, or t-shirts? I have also turned images from photoshoots into digital illustrations. Do youvthink thatbwould be something atracting for pet owners? What are your thoughts.

Aww thanks. One of my options was to also go back to being on location and coffee shops too.

It is but it's worth it!
