This month so far has begged the question- Why do you do what you do?

Doing is half the battle– starting something, and motivating yourself to persevere is the other.

Why do I do multimedia projects? Why do I seek out new clients all the time?

I am driven to be independent and I push myself to find work that can support me. But it is more than just the money that is behind the effort. (Though being able to support yourself financially through something you enjoy is a huge motivation.) Working on entertainment related projects or exciting new start-up companies can be very rewarding. These small projects allow me to focus my personal creative energy and diversify much more than a long and arduous project involving large teams of people.

That’s why I have chosen to focus on the small business and entertainment areas, and that’s why I can continue to have the energy that I do, because I can continue to challenge myself through each new project and the vast differences each one brings. That, and having this experience and knowledge may someday help me get to a point in the future where I can spend a lot more time on my own projects.

So… why do you do what you do?

In other news… I’ve got some good news! I’ve got some new clients for this month, as well as a few new developments of my own that will hopefully benefit me in the long run.

First– I put up a Website Development Portfolio for Stuart Lawson Design Services, if anyone is curious:

…have a look, please let me know what you think.

I’ve also started a project to do with web development but I can’t say much about that yet. I am creating the website now, I think it will be released some time next month due to client work being a priority. Hopefully it will bring in more projects. It is basically a Small Business Web Design Studio. My web portfolio and this should help very much if I market them as effectively as I have been marketing my Design Services.

As for clients this week has been a good one, I will soon be involved in an iPhone game, and the other, a website for a hollywood-centric web channel!

WESTof1 PRODUCTIONS is currently doing video editing for high-level Ice Hockey Academy here in SoCal. More on that to come once it is good to go!

I currently have a cold but it isn’t stopping me too much from getting work done.

Unfortunately, only a small amount of work has been done on the Glow music video due to all the focus I’ve been putting on maintaining an income and maintaining a balance in life.

Anyways, I’m starting to feel things are… finally… starting to get just a little bit less stressful… Just a little bit. My goal is not money or material things, it is a journey to personal success and for the enjoyment of others when I can oneday focus a whole lot more of my energy on music related and entertainment related projects. Stay tuned!
