I resigned the CEO position once Kugler Studios was operating profitably using the systems I had helped develop. I returned to my Business Consultant role at Harris Management Technology with new tools and confidence. I learned that the right system could improve consistency, and in some cases, it could actually do the work. For example, at Kugler, we.

We started the next year by leveraging technology. We purchased an accounting software built on the dBase platform. I knew we could customize the system to match our manual invoices we were using for portrait and wedding orders. The system handled payroll and the associated government reporting. It enabled us to manage accounts payable and other day-to-day.

At the end of 1987 I was contacted by one of my photography friends from Gittings/Texas. She said that several people were ready to leave and start a new high-end photography business. She knew of my work with Heinz Kugler and wanted my help to make it a success. After discussing the opportunity with Heinz and the group, I proposed expanding Heinz Kugler.

I was a business consultant to creative business owners who wanted help managing their business. Heinz referred me to a number of photography businesses, portrait photographers and commercial/industrial photographers.As I achieved more success with my clients, I expanded into other businesses founded by creative business owners. I was referred to graphic.

I sold a group health insurance policy to Heinz Kugler, a photographer I hired when I was with Gittings. He had left Gittings to start his own portrait and wedding business. He and his small staff needed health coverage. A few months later I got a notice that Heinz had not paid the premiums for his health insurance. When I talked to Heinz he told me that.

I joined Mutual Benefit Life as an agent in an agency that exclusively worked with business insurance. It gave me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of businesses, in different industries, on products such as life insurance to fund buy-sell agreements, key man coverages, and medical insurance programs. Still not having a good time.

What do you do when you leave the job you were educated to pursue? I tried doing what my Father had done successfully for years, I joined Prudential, as an agent and ultimately a sales manager selling life insurance. Not smart, but I was a great sales person and I had real skills in managing a business. I was a natural. Sold to all my friends and family..

I relocated to Houston to become the manager of the Gittings studio at the Galleria as well as the men's studio at the Lamar Hotel. I became regional manager of the road operation which included hiring and training our network of local reps in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.I was accomplishing operational goals for the region. I was still making.

I joined Gittings after graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography as a professional photographer. The Gittings organization had amazing photographers and an amazing business. They had studios in Phoenix, Atlanta, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. In the Texas region, they were associated with Neiman Marcus, the high-end department store.I was a good.
