Thanks so very much Marvin and Tom, and I hope to be at your level one day. For now I'm "in the trenches" as Peggy Baumgartner would say, and loving the challenges.
For now one thing I'm thankful of is being able to use all I've learned in sales, marketing, database management, art direction, vendor management, project managment and computers throughout the past 20 years. Although it may have been nice to have gone through portraiture training straight out of high school, I'm glad this career didn't come til now, as I've got so much training in the rest of what it takes as a businessperson to gain client's trust and steer them through to a successful result for all. My biggest achilles heel is that I'm so lousy at accounting and at P.R. writing-related stuff.
