The wind in your sails is usually a dream that pushes you forward. But what happens when that dream you’ve been working towards is no longer the one that fills your sails with gusto?! I’ve been chasing a dream for over 4 years now of building a photography business that solely concentrated on intimate women’s photography,…

Recently in a blog post I declared my success and that I was proud of all that I accomplished. However, in my excitement of declaration I forgot to share how I define success! In the photography industry there is a funny conversation that happens when two photographers meet as if it’s apart of doing business…
Yesterday I curled up with some fresh fruit and put a set of headphones over my head to soak up a few talks on TED Talks. I’ve been following TED for awhile now and always feel inspired and encouraged whenever I have the chance to sit in on one. Back in December I had the…

I could not agree more with both of these women…
Being vulnerable resonates with other people: no one wants just the perfect fairy tale story, because sometimes that makes people even feel bad. Dreaming is so important and we need it, but being able to snap out of it and show the cold hard truth brings more richness to our lives as we learn to deal with it and step up. Too bad so many people lie to themselves because they are just not ready for it.
As former physiotherapist, I just know 100 percent sure, that some of my patients their problems got solved because they lied down on the table, relaxed and poured there heart out. We learn to ignore ourselves from the moment we are born… There are more and more health practitioners who are even trying to work the other way around and trigger parts of our bodies to release emotions. I have heard many stories of patients starting to cry, just because of emotions set free by triggering a body part…. this is such an interesting field of medicine, yet unknown and unwanted by traditional medicine…

There are days, whether you own a business, run around around in high heels getting a different sized dress for the 100th person, sit at a desk for someone else, or fold that tiny little shirt for what feels like the 10th time, when you just want to throw your hands up in the air…
Earlier this month when Mister and I were in Barcelona, we spent a lot of time walking the narrow streets and enjoying tapas while talking about life, our dreams, and where we want to go. It was an emotional couple of days of being completely honest with each other and ourselves about where this life…

Very wise words. It is also very difficult to be proud of things you accomplish, since most of us keep thinking about what we didn’t accomplish, so it is really great you feel proud of your work! 🙂 That is something we have yet to learn. 🙁
I can imagine it is very discouraging if photographers compare their income like that. Especially since no one knows if it is even true what the other one says. I recently read a blog post where a photographer talked about a colleague lying about there price. He talked about making 20 000 dollars per wedding, which the other photographer knew was a lie. I think this is crazy, but the guy sure talked a nice talk to others about making tons of cash. (and maybe even made that much selling his sales talks) This gives me the creeps.
You are so right that money is just a fraction of what success is, but obviously in the end we have a business and we’ll all have to make money, since we have to eat, pay rent, live… Too bad life is not just about making art, because it would be so much more fun. Maybe one day it will be, when we’re all rich and famous. 😉
Until then we’ll try to declare our success more often.
I hope you start celebrating your successes, no matter how small or large they may be. And don’t worry about the others, karma will get them!
