I need some good honest advice.? -

I am a photographer and I offer my clients a disc of images with copyright authorization to print images rather than offering prints. Now, when I do a portrait session I take many, many images to avoid blinking/odd expressions/photo error/people not looking at the camera/etc... from the images I take I select only the best images from the session and those are the only ones I give to the customer. I do all the editing/cropping/retouching/special effects to the images the customer receives and I try to give the most varitey of the images taken from the session to the customer. For example for a 1-hour session for say 3 people I take between 100-180 photos and the customer recieves anywhere from 15-50 images on the disc. Anyways the advice I need is to the following issue...Customers are ALWAYS coming back to me and saying I know you took many more photos than what was on the disc, Where are they, I want to see them! Well its very frustrating becuase I do not know what I should say/do about it. I do not want to give a customer images that are not up to my level of quality becuase I do not want to make a bad name for myself or my work. I do not want to give a customer images of test shots or un-focused/blurred images or any other images with technically problems. I would not want to give a customer a disc with a whole bunch of identically images and so on... But I also don t want to make a bad name for myself becuase people get upset that I don t give them what they want... To tell you the truth some people are very persistant and do not give up. What should I do and how should I handle this. Sometimes I tell the customers this before the shoot but that doesn t make a difference. I should also mention that I am not charging people top dollar for portraits, in fact I charge $25 for the session which includes the disc and image rights. So its even more frustrating when I have spent 2-3 hours from shoot to finish and the customer want more more more... Don t get me wrong I am excellent at what I do and I am a professional photographer so I hope you don t think I am offering crappy images cause I only charge $25. So please help me. I appreciate all advice from the consumer end and business end.Thanks!!

I undertand what you are saying, everyone wants to take pride in their work. Maybe you can consider this.What you consider top quality probably is because your the professional. However, customers love to have a choice as to what they want.You may want to consider selling them two discs. One is the photos you choose, the other is the rest of them. Charge them for the other disc, customers will pay for the choice. You may find by using the give them a choice approach you gain better relations with your customers which only helps your business.Label the disc you choose Photograhers suggested photos .Hope this helps you to come up with a plan.

ALSO I would simply TELL after THE shoot and when they come back to pick up thier disk that YOU took many photos to avoid the errors and gitches that happen and only develop the ones that came out with top quailty that the other photo s were either too dark blurred or just garbage to give them !PUT in Wrting and give it to them knowing they only GET waht YOU develop !ENDS your Problems and satisfies your customers request for stuff that isnt GOOD anyway !HEY for $25 i wouldnt bother to ask for junk pics !

I want to open a business please suggest me which business is more profitable? -

1) import air conditioning do installation, servicing and repairation2) import tyres and sell in my country3) open a spare parts

There is insufficient information to conclude on which would be more profitable. It depends on what the level of competition is for each business, what the demand for each product is, what your pricing agreements are with your supplier, the margins for the various products.... etc. etc

I want to close my 401k account and use the money to start a bussiness.What should I do? -

The other people here are correct - unless you are over age 59 1/2, your retirement savings (401k or IRA) should not be tapped except in extreme emergencies.The reason is twofold - first, as others have mentioned, you will get killed by taxes and penalties (to which you would probably forfeit about half of the balance). Second, whether or not your business succeeds, you WILL want to retire someday...or at least have that nest egg so that you don t HAVE to work (even if you choose to).There are many other - and better - ways to fund a small business. Look into an SBA loan (see link below), or even think about taking on some investors to share ownership in your venture.You don t want to risk your retirement.I hope that helps. Good luck!http://www.sba.gov/financialassistance/

If you are under age 60, do not do this. The reason is that you will pay taxes and penalties on the withdrawal that will be at least 40%, if not 50% of the balance. That money is due and payable to the IRS and at least 20% will be withheld from your check (the rest of the tax/penalty you will pay when you file your taxes in the spring).Plus, you may be in a situation at your job where your account balance is not yet fully vested - meaning if you take it out, you lose the unvested part. Find out the answer to that question before you even consider taking money out.So, if you think you have $20,000, but some of it is not vested and a big chunk will be taken for taxes, you may only end up with $8,000 - $10,000. The pain is not worth it.Another thing to consider is that if your business fails and you need to file bankruptcy, the money you took out of your 401k to start this business will be gone, where if you leave it in a 401k it is protected.What I would do instead is get financing from a bank or keep your day job for a while and save up your start up costs for your business. One thing you could do to increase your savings for this purpose is to scale back your 401k contributions to just the amount to get the maximum company match.

You may use the funds maintaining the 401 k and borrowing against it.postpones the tax on this for later. $ saving

Re-think your plans.See if you can get a loan against the 401K funds rather than closing the account.

You re looking at loosing a huge portion of it due to penalties. I would strongly advise NOT doing that.
