with some resolutions to make 2019 another brilliant year!
Let's...
1) Keep learning and have fun, this will include learning all the new Resolve 15 features, from A to Z (and getting my head around Fusion!! or at least all the functional features of this newly integrated software).
2) Evolve Lucide Post's new business strategy; word of mouth is good, but let's grow and hunt for new business this year, let's expand our horizon!
3) Stay pro.
Keep saying:
No to low-paying work, we owe it to all the creatives working hard in this industry pulling long hours an' all...
Say YES to new businesses whilst keeping in check with the high demand, pull in resources when needed, Lucide Post here we come!
4) Practice Gratitude and Mindfulness... oooom!
