'You become what you believe' 💭

The first step to achieving anything great is believing you can do it. Once you believe, you can act on it and execute.

It all starts with you and your beliefs 🔑

'Your future is as bright as your faith' 💭

Stay positive, stay optimistic and most importantly, stay focused.

The journey might change but the mission stays the same 🚀

'If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you' - a quote I heard a while back which changed my perspective on difficult tasks.

If it was easy everybody would be doing it! 💭

'Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible'

It's only absurd until it works! 🗣️

'If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.'

Thinking about this in terms of content. Trial and test different things. One small change on your intro / post could be what boosts your engagement / viewership.

Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality 💭

Don't be scared to fail, the more you fail, the more you learn.

The best piece of advice that I have ever received as a creative individual is to never be afraid to fail. Failure is when you set your expectations too high, which makes you not appreciate what you have / what you've achieved.

I really don't think tiktok users will move to BlueSky. They won't go from a visual ForYouPage to a text based app. BlueSky is safe.

Promo & marketing should only take as long as it needs to. Set yourself clear goals for what you want to achieve, a step by step of how you'll get there and even timeline it with dates that you need to complete each task. This will help you manage your time better.

Grassi Lakes Alberta Canada. I was greatly amazed at the awesome Grassi Lakes. It was a short hike, lots of rock climbers up there. A great place to just hang out.

Struggling to network as a photographer?

Don't underestimate the impact being in a club with your camera has. If we're talking about building your network and getting more jobs, this is a great way. I'm not saying this is going to get you a £1,000 job, it might, but it might also get you £200 jobs.

Want to increase your prices as a creative?

The question is, how are you pitching your price?

'The camera comes with a bag'
Or
'The camera comes with a lightweight 9 section bag'

My point is, back up your price.

How many images / turnaround time? Let them know what they get for your fee.

The best advice I was ever given as a creative starting out:

JUST SAY YES.

The power of saying yes is extremely effective for growth and learning.

SAY YES!
