Resolutions

So, I am not someone who can generally make a list of resolutions and keep them.  Even with my best efforts, they just seem to fall off my radar and I don’t think of them again until the following year is almost here and I realize that everything I *wanted* to accomplish didn’t even come close to happening.  (Oops!)  :)

This year I am keeping it simple. 

I want to do this and I mean reeeeaaally do this.  Photography.  My passion.  My dream job.  I love it and I feel like it loves me back.  I want to take my business to the next level.  I want to be successful, in demand, creating gorgeous images, making a lasting impression and sustain lasting relationships.  I have the support from my loved ones and they believe I can do this.  I believe I can do this.

So, my resolution is to keep on going.  I love the path I am on and I want to start running!  :)   Bring it on 2009, I’m ready for you!!!

Fast Track Coaching w/ Dane Sanders

So, I have said it before and I will say it again: Dane Sanders is pretty much amazing.  When I received the email that Dane was going to be offering Fast Track Coaching once a week, I immediately signed up!  I mean, 30 minutes a week of direct coaching from the guru himself, pretty fantastic!  :)  

As most of you know, 2009 is going to being my “branding” year- and no, I don’t mean like cattle.  I am committed to developing a brand for my business.  I am finding my foothold, my style and my purpose in this industry and I couldn’t be more thrilled!  :)   It’s very exciting.  These weekly lessons are going to be like food for my soul, my weekly inspiration and reminder to stay on track. 

Today’s lesson did not disappoint!  Kevin Kubota was a guest speaker!  (What a way to kick things off, right??)  Kevin is a self proclaimed “Action Hero” due to his AMAZING Photoshop Actions that I just L-O-V-E!!  They rocked my world the first time I used them- me and my portraits just adore him!  If you don’t have them- buy them!  Honestly, you’ll be so glad you did!

Anyway, I can’t begin to express how amazing it is to get insight and tips from the front-runners of the Photography World.  It’s truly a gift.  They’ve been there, they’ve done it and they are so graciously giving back to the rest of us who are just starting out and want to build a solid business.  If you are a photographer- take advantage of this amazing program that Dane is offering!
