Starting a haunt doesn't have to be scary

Overview:

Don't be scared....owning or operating a haunted attraction can be one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. For me, it's like all of my passions and abilities merged together. Find out WHY you want to do this and hold on to that tightly. Let your vision guide you but stay smart on how you implement it. Grow at the speed you feel comfortable with and still keeps the doors open. Creating it all is the fun part...

Action Tools:

Always be learning. The industry does adapt to trends & technology but the basics on entertaining people will never change. The goal is to blend them together.
Attend haunt conventions and tradeshows. Soak up as much information as you can but don't let "paralysis by analysis" slow you down. 
Network with other Haunters. Join online community groups. Go to seminars to learn as much as you can. 
"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently" -Henry Ford.

Learn from your mistakes and grow from them. Enjoy your Haunt Journey!
