Happy 1st Birthday, Azara Effect Productions!

As some of you reading this know, the birth of AEP coincided with the birth of Scott’s son, John. Over the last year, many lessons about babies and businesses have been learned, and I thought it might be fun to share a few common ones:

1)      Appreciate every moment

Owning a small business means running back and forth between two ends of the busi-ness spectrum: from working 14 hour days to watching the tumbleweeds blow over the keyboard. We’ve learned that it’s important to be grateful for having so much work to do, and to be equally grateful for the days (or weeks) off.

2)      Always be two steps ahead

This is still a lesson in-progress, but we’re learning to try and plan for the future work alongside of doing the current work. Imagine building a plane while flying it – sometimes easier said than done!

3)      Get by with a little help from friends ...

... and family, co-workers, neighbours, strangers, cats, etc. Azara Effect Productions would not have made it to its first birthday without all of the help and support that we’ve received – thank you, so much.

Also similar to baby John, AEP is slowly learning how to get up and walk, but, I’m sure, we’ll be running* in no time!
