vg45. Financial Plan. Summer 2015

Financial Plan
The financial situation still remains pretty much the same. So far no sales.
Possible directions I will going in the foreseeable future involve the payment of small fees.  I have been checking out the art resources available to see what to do to upgrade the situation. 

RAAV.Org REGROUPEMENT DES ARTISTES EN ARTS VISUELS DU QUEBEC has increased their membership fee to $120.00. InfoEntrerpreneurs said that they have a legal clinic but there is a fee of $65.00 an hour.  I have also contacted Yes (Montreal Youth employment Services). They have services available for entrepreneurs and artists of all ages but I must attend a workshop first.  Then I can access their legal and counselling clinics if I pay a onetime fee of $30.00.  Finally I noticed that I have a pretty thorough online backup of my photographs with Sony PlayStation but the line that says the name of the photographer is always left blank.  So I will be checking out how much it will cost to have this signed with my name.  This seems to be very important.

I must say that these directions to look into but I am reluctant to work with these small sums of money as there seems to be room for a considerable amount of small payments.  And these start to add up rather fast. The game is to choose sparingly and choose wisely. Also a thing to consider at this stage is that time is also very sparse.  That means that lots of small transactions are perhaps the wrong way to go.  It is better to spend once and to spend large and to have something important done.

So far the lawyer I contacted has given me the most thorough cost/time estimate.  So I will be using this schedule as a guideline for finding and establishing resources such as a librarian and a photo-studio, exhibition space, etc. The lawyer said that I must come to the table with a business plan as well as a list of my blogs so I will be getting these things in order.  It seems that the beginning of the summer quarterly will be refining and creating some documents necessary for an artist.

I will be checking the resources available in the community in case a certain sum of money or support comes in.  I have received a cost/time estimate for legal fees to consolidate my company and I have technically the money to pay.  But it is a large percentage of the money I have saved at this time so I will wait until I have backing and the support to pay it.  I stick true to the model of a lean start-up.  I will spend as little money as possible on the business. And when the money comes in I will spend like crazy.  But to spend like crazy one has to know where the money will go.  And this involves researching the resources available.

Although there is a lot of work to be done in refining my work, priority will be given to getting all the documentation in order in case of sponsorship.  If and when I have a financial backer or I make some money, I will know where it will go and will act immediately

VG14. Beautiful Charting by Kathy Fabian

Hello Dear Readers, This Saturday I decided to do charting.  I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance.  I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps.  It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card.  And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store.  The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish.  I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs. I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points.  One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping.  I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive.  Anyways finally I realized they have a  whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budge...

What child is this - Lindsey Stirling

Well, I am back from lunch out. The Brazilian resto was closed. I stopped at the Pastry shop for some pastries but the lunch counter was closed. Luckily my coffee shop came through and I had a great Sante Fe salad with walnuts, grilled eggplant, and cheese. The great part of the meal was my delicious Americanos decaf. I enjoyed two. ITs a beautiful snowy day in Montreal. Much different than the landscape in this dreamy Holiday season video featuring the lovely Lindsey Stirling. It is sooo romantic. Check it out.

vg12. Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production

 Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production By Kathy Fabian, C.E.O. and Principal Artist The first and Foremost goal of all Art Fabian Company work to to achieve financial success. Blogging My writing will focus on Money making projects such as ValGal and my Google Page My Clothes Right Now for Sale. I will continue my schedule of writing for a different blog each day.  I am trying to keep one month a head for blog posts.  Meanwhile if I find a better place to do something then I will leave the old site intact to leave a virtual footprint. I will slow down writing actual articles and concentrating on improving the presentation for the blogs. Each blog should have an example of art on it for sale.  I will focus only on stuff I feel that I really want to write about or on money making projects.  I will just polish up stuff that highlights just my creative work. I have a lot of blog articles now so they are actually not my main priority.  Organizing pro...
