Many people dream of opening their own business in the hope that this will give them financial freedom. However, owning your own business, especially these days, is a risk that fewer and fewer people are taking. The sale of products, the provision of services, film production, the organisation of events and the culinary industry have suffered the most in recent months. The unstable situation makes it impossible to predict what the next day will bring. This augurs great risk for entrepreneurs. So is it worth opening their businesses?
Above all, you have to be able to handle stress very well. Stressful situations occur in every job, including in an industry like film production. Depending on the position, we are exposed to more or less stress. However, the greatest pressure will always be on the owners, who are responsible for everything and everyone. So if you can handle stress - you have the aptitude to start a company.
Another thing is passion. If you want to start a business it has to be accompanied by passion and a sense of fulfilment. When you start doing something without any positive feelings and without passion, you will get bored very quickly and eventually at the first failure you will give up. You won't care, you won't struggle and you won't try. This applies to any business but it is especially manifest in creative and artistic activities. Production filmmaking, entertainment, etc. are all highly vulnerable to stress, judgement from others and sometimes failure. This is why a sense of immense passion can save you from breakdown and rapid burnout.
Owning your own business is a risk. However, if you are opening the right kind of business, feel passionate about it and have resilience to stress it is worth trying, and our production cinematic!
