When did you last use the advice ‘fake it til you make it’? That easily could have been my mantra when I started being a photographer. I wanted to be unique and develop strong creative skills for my clients, but without experience it felt a bit like I was standing outside on a dark day, in a field of beautiful flowers, but standing all alone.
I messed up sometimes, like every business owner does, and I also had personal hardships that forged against my success. But with every stumble or fall, I got back up, always. And I’m so glad I did, because eventually I found unique ways to become a creative brand photographer, to see outside the box for small business owners, and build strength and endurance as a business owner year after year!
It means so much to me to have created a business all my own, quirks and all, and even more that you’re along for the ride. What journey has your business adventures been taking you on? Please share your experiences below in the comments.
