What's frustrating? Well pretty much all the normal things that go with starting up a new business with no track record. But that's ok, because being frustrated can sometimes be fun. My parents were big card players and I mean BIG! They loved a variety of games and a popular one with family members is a game we call "Frustration." Without getting into detail, it's a game where you must complete one level before you can play the next. The frustrating part is that sometimes you can get stuck on a level that should be easy and watch others move on, and then levels that should be hard can come easily. It's also frustrating because the decisions you make about which cards to throw, not only effect your hand but others in the game.
Launching stoodio8 is much like this card game. Frustrating because I want to be successful by making the right decisions and be the best player in the "game". And I have to succeed at one "level" to be able to successfully move on to the next, even though I want to do it all now, not in stages. And the decisions I make in each level effects not only me, but all the "players" such as my family, staff, stoodio8 members, and art supporters. It's also fun though, because I like it when I succeed at one level and move to the next. It's satisfying to overcome obstacles people and events throw your way.
So even though I feel moments of frustration, that's what drives me to work to turn them around so it's something to smile about or even reflect on and laugh at because I'm moving up to the next level and winning.
