40 Under 40 in Las Vegas

I am afraid that I have a little bit of a disadvantage at this one over my fellow classmates as I only have 8 years left until the dreaded 40 comes around.  However, what I lack in time left, I feel I have more than made up for in time well spent during the last couple of years.  I have solid contacts with the Associated Press and Getty Images.  I am building a relationship with a top executive at the Tropicana and have a good solid contact and friend in the Media Relations Office at the Thomas and Mack Center.  I also have just gotten an invite to the Michael Jordan Golf Tournament being sponsored by the Aria and I have a solid connect with the Las Vegas Wranglers Hockey team and Media relations for the Las Vegas 51's baseball team. I do not see myself owning a studio or doing fashion and portraiture to that respect, but I do have marketing in the works to target parents of children who play sports and am working on sealing a contract with Euphoria Institute to photograph all of their Graduations with residual sales from individual photos. My current business plan and budget projection is modest and shows me netting very little in the next year.  By the time I am 40 I believe it is feasible to say that I will be netting 75,000 a year provided I continue at the pace I am going. I hope to have an office manager at that point to handle the mundane tasks so I can focus on building relationships with my clients and I plan to print everything I sell on site so I can turn a larger profit from my business.
