Short YouTube advice clip (Donna Bordeaux, pyopcounting.com) encouraging creative road trips to visit other studios: visit peers, share ideas, leverage competition, and set an objective to leave with three new ideas. Also includes practical business/tax reminders to track mileage and business meals (deductible if business purpose). Closing includes speaker sign-off and website.
When was your last road trip? Have you been out to see some other studios? Go get some new ideas, new experiences. It's always good to visit some other studios and see what they're doing that you might not be. Use that competition to your advantage. Talk to them. Share ideas. Also remember, don't forget to keep track of your mileage and your meals. Meals are deductible as a business owner, as long as you have a business purpose. So if you're headed out of town to go visit some friends, go to a wedding, go to a conference, pop in, go see another studio, call them ahead of time, make sure they're going to be there. Make it your objective that you don't leave to come home until you have three new ideas to invest investigate. I hope this helps you and take advantage of the competition. I'm Donna Bordeaux with pyopcounting.com.
