Don't Settle
"When you are full, you will not even eat honey. When you are hungry, even something bitter tastes sweet."
- Proverbs 27:7
Happy Monday!
I wanted to share some things that came to mind after reading the Proverb at the top.
The satisfaction we all desire to have as creatives is to:
- Do work we enjoy
- Work with our ideal clients/customers
- And make more than enough money to pay our bills (at least)
But also, as a human being, we feel the most fulfilled when serving other people.
Especially with the things we're good at.
Once you get to this point in your career, you'll turn down even high-paying projects if they don't satisfy you!
But when you're hungry for photography clients, you'll settle for cheap clients and projects you really don't want to take on.
So how do we become satisfied, fulfilled photographers (or creatives)?
Questions to reflect on:
What am I passionate about that I can combine with my love for photography?
What problems can I solve with my camera (or skill, talent, etc.)?
How bad do I want this?
Who do I want to help?
Your passion fuels your skills.
Specialize what you're good at.
Be a problem solver and offer more than "just photos."
Be ambitious and diligent in your pursuit for more in photography and life.
Talk soon,
Kyra
P.S. I'll be expanding into broader topics than just photography moving forward. We'll talk about topics such as:
- Christ
- Content
- Creativity
- Consistency
I'm so excited!
