When did you know that working for yourself was going to, well, work? What made you feel legit enough to say, “I own my own business”? Maybe it was your first customer (who wasn’t your mom!), or a check made out to your business name. Or perhaps you’re still wondering if your endeavor will succeed. In this series we’re asking entrepreneurs, “How did you know when your business was Really for Real?”
Entrepreneur: Pascal Depuhl @photosbydepuhl
Business: Photography by Depuhl
Launched: 2004
Location: Miami, Florida
Today, there’s no question of whether Pascal Depuhl’s photography business is a success, but way back before his client list included the likes of National Geographic, BBC, Netflix and Macy’s, he was just a guy who thought maybe he could do this thing he loved for a living.
So he made a website, put some of his photos on the internet and before he knew it...
“I got an unsolicited email from a company that provided a retouching service to photographers. I realized that they found my business online and were looking to sell me their service. I was so excited, because I'd spent absolutely zero money on advertising, yet someone who didn't know me figured out I was a photographer based on information that was out there online.”
...and the rest is history!
