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.

    Be fair to your customers AND yourself.

    Don’t bend over backwards to satisfy customers who cannot be satisfied. Some people are just miserable human beings, and some will gladly bankrupt you if it saves them a nickel. Is their repeat business the kind of business you want?

    Don’t be afraid to say NO or to set firm boundaries. Nobody respects a spineless pushover.

      I fired 2 customers last week and my crew would follow me into hell because of it.
