Is this how we should run our businesses, based on feelings for given situations? Shouldn't it be policy, protocol?
Just speculating
If that's what makes you happy, then that's fine too!
My own policy is to have the hard case in my contract.
No other cameras allowed at the wedding, amateur, professional, media or otherwise. That's what is pointed out and that's what they sign.
Now, I don't give a fig if grandma wants to take a happy snap, I can bend my own policy and contract as much as I want. If some pain in the arse comes along and won't take the hint, I can point out that policy to the B&G and they are gone in seconds. Saves me the trouble i'd have to go through If I punched them out with being arrested etc. Works nicely.
Same as refunds.
Says none for any reason in my contract. If I want to bend my own rules, no one is going to complain. Should I only work to policy? I could if I wanted to feel a right bastard at times but part of the satisfaction of being in your own business is being the boss and that means I get to make decisions and bend the rules as I see fit.
If I think someone is trying something on with me, I can pull out the piece of paper and enforce the policy. If I want to do the right thing now and then, I can do that too.
I learned a long time ago money isn't everyting and while my friends regularly tell me I can be the Hardest SOB they ever came across, I also enjoy racking up some points in the good karma stakes now and then and helping out someone I think deserves it. When I need every single cent I can lay my hands on. then my idea may change but so far in life I haven't got that desperate.
Far as I'm concerned, I'm running the show, doing what I like on things like this is one of the priveledges I put up with so much other crap in having my own business to earn that right.
