As I begin this blog I sit and look
around my cluttered office/bedroom. This is kind of how my business feels right now…cluttered.
No, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. By cluttered I simply mean I have a lot
going on and I need to organize a little more. Starting and running a show
alone is a daunting task to say the least. You are pulled in a hundred
different directions at the same time and a wrong move could cost you a
potential new customer much quicker than you can even imagine. The saying, “You
only get one time to make a first impression,” has never rang so true as it
does right now.
Every show I turn in to the TV station leaves
me wondering, what could I have done better? How could I have explained that better, or what the
&%$## happened to my audio. Audio problems are a pet peeve of mine.
Goals are
something I am constantly updating and striving to reach. My goal over the next
few months is to upgrade equipment so that I can offer a few different types of
shows. One of my goals is to be able to take off with a friend on his or her
boat and shoot a show anywhere we want to. Or, sit with my dad, grandkids, or
anyone else, down on the river and film and relax at the same time.
Another goal
of mine is to one day move my office onto a small houseboat. I can think of no
better way to keep the spirit of the show fresh than to run it from the water. I
have heard that marina people are some of the best people in the world to have
as neighbors…I aim to find out one day. Soon I hope.
Are you a potential show sponsor? If you are I hope I have never given
you a bad impression to deter you from that. Do you have ideas for my show? I want to hear them. My email is lowellhenderson65@yahoo.com. The
feedback I get from guys out on the water, family, friends, co-workers, and all
my social media contacts, leaves me with a very warm feeling inside. I’m glad I
didn’t try and start a show that looks like every other show on TV. I like the relaxed atmosphere of “Simply
Fishing.” Sooo…I think I’ll leave it this way for a long time. You guys n gals
have a great day.
