After getting my BA and MFA in computer art, after 4 years of working in game industry, I got laid off 4 months ago. Totally unexpected. I left game industry and entered the world of unknown - sporting good industry. What am I going to do? Artist? No. I'm going to learn how to run a manufactured snorkeling gears company and how to find deals with distributors and retailers. This is totally different than I was doing before, and I never thought I would step into this world. I don't know anything about business/sales/economy impact. I'm a shy person who works with computer only.
I spent my first 2 months traveling around and spending time with my hubby. And then, I made some graphics on boogie boards, setup an e-commerce site, take photos for products, study silk screen printing, register trademark for my dad's new brand. Wow, never thought I would want to do these. I still wasn't sure what I had been doing. I was so used to just to follow the direction to get the work done until my dad gave me this book "Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Red Book of Selling." I have only read 3 chapters so far and it really motives me. I learned that the fundamental mindset and the right attitude are the most important things. So I've decided to create a new blog writing about how a 3D artist transform to have business mindset. To be continued....
