Sandy Pawlyszyn
Sandy and her husband Michael make a great team in more ways than one. For over seven years they've worked together at Oracle selling business applications software to companies in a 7-state area. They have enjoyed the financial rewards associated with their success, but the extensive travel and long hours were taking a toll on the time they could spend with their two young children.
They came to The E-Source seeking a better quality of life. A quest to strike a balance that would allow them to maintain the kids as their primary responsibility and for Sandy to have the same income potential as she did at Oracle.
Short-term, that means working like crazy while having flexibility with her schedule. Longer-term, it's being able to cut back to 20-hour weeks so that she can be involved with her kids' school activities.
Sandy is a master of executing against a plan and understands the importance of not falling victim to the E-Myth. From the beginning, she vowed to work "on" the business, not "in" it.
With that in mind, Sandy and Michael quickly found the business model that suits them. They chose a franchise called CL!X Portrait Studios - a "fun, friendly & hip" digital photography business. They were attracted to the CL!X model because it offers a unique combination of studio portraiture, event photography and digital technology. No other company offers the range of services with immediate turnaround of product and the customer friendly environment as CL!X.
Their plan is to open 5 studios in the Western Twin Cities and grow the Events on-location business to include many 'CL!X mobile units'. The first studio will open in The Fountains at Arbor Lakes shopping mall in Maple Grove in early 2008.
In the meantime, the Events business is already flourishing! Sandy and her team are busy offering on-location photography to daycares, sports teams and dance studios. She is also scheduling Holiday photo fund raisers, Winter Dance and even Prom appointments for next Spring. So if you'd like to freshen up the look of the photographs at your next event, give Sandy a call at 612-234-8777.
P.S. When you call, be sure to ask about their additional services- such as digital "scrapbooking" and their Cover Girlz and All Starz parties for kids.
