Hooray! Sam's An Author!
August/22/2008 Resources
One of the first things I did when I got home was to take a look at the wonderful new book on children's portraiture by one of the most qualified people in the world to author a book on the subject: the incomparable Sandy (Sam) Puc.' What a great job she did on this book! It is a literal gold mine of information that covers ALL the bases of operating a children's business. I scanned the book first, now I'm reading it carefully because it is such a fantastic resource. I can't believe she managed to get this published while she was in the midst of her fantastic Bellies and Babies Tour. Amazing!
It's been an incredible pleasure to watch Sam and her business grow. When I talk about Sam, I always make this disclaimer: "Don't try this at home," as Sam packs more into a single day than any mere mortal should try to do. Once, when she and I roomed together over a PPA Board meeting weekend, I tried staying up all night to see if she is actually an alien who plugs herself into an electrical socket while everyone else goes to sleep. I finally dozed off, and when I woke up just after 5:00, she was already off on a early-morning run. Either that or she was rendezvousing with the Mother Ship :-).
Whether human or alien, Sam is a rare individual who has accomplished so much . . . as an entrepreneur, a motivator, and as a an industry leader. And the most amazing thing of all to me is that she has the nicest children I've ever met. About the only thing she didn't do this year is win a gold medal in the Olympics. Don't tell her I said this, or she's likely to start training for London 2012 tomorrow. Anyway . . . don't miss any opportunity to learn from her: you'll be richer for the experience.
Needless to say, I strongly recommend Sam's book. To purchase it, click here. And thank you Sam for all you do!
