📣I cannot tell you how valuable that is.

✅Graphics

✅merch design

I have multiple stores cooking stuff.

📣I have social media clients that pay me auto bill $400- to $800 a month to handle their digital marketing.

✅I have a rental Studio

💪I mean guys, that's the level that you need to be thinking.

🥔🥔Stop thinking Small Potatoes.

Stop thinking Small Potatoes. Okay?

🎉And I know it's a journey-

I've been doing this for 13 years.

I know I didn't start off that way.

🎉Yes, I started off with weddings, families and seniors and all the things that you guys are doing.

📣But the bigger picture -the bigger picture was there

🎉🎉what's my goal?

my goal was to get all these-skill sets so that I can stay home and homeschool my kids and have passive income streams and that I did not travel as much

📣 so I did weddings

I did like 55 60 weddings, every other month for like 7 - 8 years something like that.

📣so that I could get the skill sets and I needed

✅so that during 2020- I could go and do my passive income streams and  rental studio.

📣📣So I didn't have to rely on weddings so much and traveling - doing all this stuff and being away-from my family.

🎉So now I can do commercial photography and food photography and head shots and all these things.

🤯So guys, that's the mindset you need to have.

You need to have bigger picture mindset.

Okay, and I know it is a journey and I know it’s tough - life sucks and I get it.

✅I've been there I'm going through it right now.

💪💪I'm still not at my goals.

👏I'm still 10 years away from being completely child-free and they're going to be gone doing their thing

and I still have goals and dreams and Ambitions,

but guys think bigger picture.

⁉️Think bigger

📣because if not, you're going to have all these “Karen's”harassing-you

I have people right now calling me for advice.

“I have these ‘Karen's’ harassing me.”

“They're texting me all night asking me ‘where the photos?’”

asking me why I can’t re re-edit them and they only paid $200 for a 8 Hour coverage graduation shoot,

and they don't like any of my work and-I  just want to give up.

✅Have a contract.

✅Charge your worth.

✅Don't work with ‘Karen's.’

All right guys much love. Peace out.

Bye.
