Many times along this journey so far, I find I am constantly reminding myself that big accomplishments require big steps, huge leaps of faith, and just being unafraid to dream big. Big Bertha/Costco-sized-bags-of-Skittles-big.
And within the big dreams and the big steps, I'm finding that there are lots of just as important little steps to take in my dream of creating a successful wedding & portrait photography business. I get super excited with every contact made in the wedding and event planning industry and love turning over even more stones only to reveal yet another possibility to be explored. And in the midst of it all, I also have to remind myself to slow down and not scare folks off with my 100 mile-a-minute babble of all things photography, lenses, and ohhhhh, lookit-that-photo-of-her-wedding-dress-did-you-see-her-hair-who-did-her-make-up-hi, I'm with-Heartbox Photography-so-nice-to-meet-you!
Tonight, I will be attending another networking event with other local wedding photographers in hopes to meet other like-minded peers ready to take the wedding & portrait industry by storm. I am actually very shy at these types of networking meetings (the snack & refreshment table can be sooooo fascinating), but at the same time, am proud to be facing this fear anyway for the sake of growing and being challenged.
Business cards in hand? Check.
Ready to meet other peers and learn? Check.
100-mile-a-minute-babble ready to be slowed down? Eh....we'll see. =)
Let's do this!
Happy Thursday!
