School Again...

It's been a while since I've been able to devote any time here. Mostly because of school getting started again and settling back in, job apps, and some projects I've had to finish. It is good to be back in school. This semester I'm going to be learning a lot more about sound design and electronic media production, and I can't wait to share everything I learn.

In the meantime, I've come to understand the importance of writing out ideas and making them presentable, not just for other people but also for yourself as well. I'm developing a strategy for a business idea involving the campus television station. I hope to provide videography, editing, and media production services to the campus and local communities. There's a lot involved in getting an idea like this off the ground, but one of the most crucial beginning steps is to write out exactly what you have in mind. It's collecting and organizing your thoughts. It might seem a little too obvious, but you can't go anywhere until you've written your ideas down. And this doesn't just apply to entrepreneurship or business, it applies to all sorts of creative endeavors.

So I'm almost done planning out this idea, and later this week I'm going to present it to Brown Television and one of my professors. I will most likely have to make some revisions or compromises, and once I do research and understand the reality of what can actually get accomplished, I can begin to build a working business model. It's exciting stuff, and it's about learning how to make abstract ideas work in the real world.

Here's another tip: Start small.
