🎉So you're not waiting around for every family shoot-senior shoot… and you're in this Rat Race-and every single group that posts,there's 83 comments.
🤯🤯You got to be finding a niche that not a lot of people are
🎉you need to have a lot of different skill sets
🎉So if 1 thing isn't cooking -you have 4 other things cooking.
📣I cannot tell you how valuable that is.
✅I don't just do photography I do videography.
✅ social media
✅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.
