REASONS NOT TO GET INTO THE PHOTOBOOTH BUSINESS

Do Not Do It just For The Money

The photobooth business is much like any other business. If you do it for the love, there is a good chance the money will follow.

There used to be an old joke, which is probably more true now than ever, that being a DJ is a real hard way to make an easy living. Well, this pretty much applies to the photobooth business as well.

When you love what you do it does not feel like work. Many successful entrepreneurs failed several times before achieving success but they did not give up because they loved what they did. Colonel Sanders was rejected 1009 times in his attempt to sell his chicken recipe. All he could do was sell the chicken himself and the rest is history. Henry Ford and Walt Disney both went bankrupt in their initial business ventures, but they learned and tried again till they finally succeeded.

If at first you don't succeed try-try again only works if you truly love what you do. Overnight successes are very few and far between. I am not sure as to the accuracy but I remember reading that the average entrepreneurial millionaire has been either completely broke or nearly broke 3.2 times. The point is that unless you commit to the long haul and love what you do, you may quit before you ultimately succeed.

It is a fact that the harder you work the luckier you get. Your big break will most likely never come unless you work at it. Getting 50 no's to every yes in business is just par for the course. The Harry Potter manuscript was rejected 12 times before a publisher accepted it. Multiple record labels rejected the Beatles. Monopoly was rejected as being too complicated by many game manufacturers before Parker Brothers finally took it on.

If you love what you do, you will persevere. You will try harder. You will not give up. That is why you need to love what you do.
