How to start the business of your dreams: the success story of a videographer

Ivonne has always been interested in videography and animation. She knew that creating videos was her true passion. However, she always kept it as a hobby and never tried to take serious steps in this field. Until one day, one of her friends asked to teach her how to create videos. And this is where Ivonne started to take a closer look at the potential of creating a video production and educational company where people can learn how to create videos and use their skills in real projects. The idea was excellent, and it was her dream she never thought would happen. But she needed a starting point, a base, from where she could start all her business projects.

Without any hesitation, Ivonne started to create a business plan that would help her get investment in her startup and develop her soon-to-be company.

The journey of the company

Once she had the business plan ready, she thought that many people would be interested in investing in the project, and it would be very easy to start the business. However, it was not the case. After getting a few rejections and seeing that her plan might not work, Ivonne thought about forgetting all her business plans and continuing her 9 to 5 job as a videographer in another company. 

When all her friends saw her disappointment, they wanted to support her and find something helpful for her ideas. One of her friends suggested taking a loan from a lending company to have financial stability for the beginning and find a place to start the process. It was Ivone’s last hope, and she started to look for companies that would give her a loan. That is when she found Foretagslan Finance, the loan comparing website. Everything seemed easy to her. She compared a few lending companies, one of which was Svea. While requesting the loan to this company, she thought that she had a high chance of getting the approval. After she contacted Froda and requested the loan, she got it approved within a few hours, which was surprisingly easy and fast to her thought. She only believed that she really got it once the money reached her account. And she started to find the office for her dream business.

Once she got everything ready, she started the announcements and the promotions of the class for the courses. And to her surprise, many people were interested in it. Since the opening of the company, Ivonne has successfully taught videography and animation to around 50 people.

Was her experience successful?

Ivonne’s business has grown to a successful brand in her country, and she has opened a couple of more offices in different cities. She is a CEO of a large company now, managing more than 50 people in her team and teaching hundreds of people how to create video animations. And now, not only she teaches many groups, but she also arranges online seminars, webinars, and online courses for people who live in other countries. This way, she wants to bring more interest in videography and graphic animation for people around the world. In the recent interview given to her local magazine, she mentioned that she is looking for bigger opportunities and more developments in her business. She participates in many expos and wants to find more people who would like to expand their business with her to grow in the animation industry and create a larger company not only for teaching but also for creating videos for different companies and startups. She always remembers her first steps with a smile and inspiration. She mentions that if it was not for her friends and family support, she would have never created her career and reached the heights she is now at. And she always advises people to follow their dreams and reach their goals. Being confident and knowing her goals always had a huge impact on Ivonne’s career, so she always recommends following your dreams. It is not easy to create a successfully operating company, and she always says that they also have ups and downs, but the thing that keeps them going is constant motivation and inspiration. Ivonne always says that she would not change anything from the experience she had throughout her business career, as that experience helped her to reach her goals.
