"I stumbled through running a business . . .

for two years, figuring that being a great photographer was all there was to it. After I realized how mistaken I was, I took the business planning course at the Entrepreneurial Center and learned a million things I didn't know about the financial and organizational side of solo entrepreneurship . . ."
