Etha Schaefer has worked as a journalist in the past decade as it was her profession. However, her true passion was always photography. She always had a good eye and captured outstanding photos of nature, stars, and landscapes. And every time she showed her pictures to her friends and family, everyone agreed that it was time for her to start her own photography business. But she was always afraid, as she didn’t know where to start and where to find the financial sources. One of her friends suggested looking for business loans provided by many banks and seeing which option is the best. And with determination and serious steps, Etha decided to start this idea. Her goal was to open a small office in the town and start her photography journey by taking jobs as a photographer.
The journey of an enthusiastic photographer
Once she decided to start with this business project, her friends cheered her up with each of her decision. Some friends started to look for the office, some of them started to search for inexpensive photography equipment online. And Etha’s goal was to get the funds and start her lifetime dream business. Now that Etha is a famous photographer and photo artist in the country, she shared her bumpy and difficult journey in one of her interviews.
In one of her interviews, she said that the first steps were the most difficult ones, as not all banks could confirm the loans, because she didn’t have the financial stability that was required. After going to many banks, looking for the most suitable loans, one of her friends found the Foretagslan Finance website, where she could compare the loans from various banks and find the best option online, instead of heading from one bank to another. And from the first try Etha has found two different corporate loan companies that offered great loans for startups and newly developing businesses. The first option was Froda corporate loans, which had a lot of benefits for startups. The other company was Capsito corporate loans. And she went with the first option as it offered more convenient loan terms and conditions for her startup business.
Once she got the confirmation of the loan, she celebrated the first successful step of her business with all the friends and family who have helped and supported her throughout her journey. And she opened her lovely photo agency in the center of the city.
How have things developed in Etha’s business journey?
Once Etha opened her photo agency, she thought she would get a lot of requests for photoshoots. But that was not the case. For a particular period, she didn’t have any requests and got very disappointed as she went all this journey to start the business. So having no results was very discouraging. That is when she had another idea that could help her get the popularity and demand for her services. She started to create her portfolio and promote it on social media platforms. She loved taking pictures of nature and landscape, the night sky with millions of stars, and wild animals. So she started to travel and take photos of unusual destinations, unique architecture, and wildlife. Once she got the perfect portfolio in hand, she started promoting the photos and her services online. It was another huge step for her as she didn’t want to lose the determination and goals she set for her.
After a few weeks she started the advertising, she got an interesting call from a popular magazine that requested her to take photos for their monthly magazine. During an interview, she mentioned that it was one of the happiest days of her life. She assumed there would be some requests about taking photos for specific projects, but to have her page on a popular magazine with her photos and special articles, was a dream come true. She immediately agreed and started the project with the greatest joy.
Now, Etha is a popular photographer and has her impact on many magazines and online blogs, showing people her true talent of taking outstanding photos and teaching others how to achieve their dreams. She once said that even with all the difficulties and obstacles along her journey to this great success and achievement, she will not change anything, if she started everything from scratch again.
