When the smoke clears everything you’ve been trying to avoid will still be there waiting for you. Face your fears, go out and shoot. Socialize with others in your local area. Socialize with others in other neighborhoods. Grab a hold of some business cards, flyers or what ever it is you have with information leading to you and your services online. This is the first step of “Word of Mouth Marketing”.
You never know, someone’s bound to call!

When you as a business owner hire someone to do the marketing and advertising for your business, make sure you don’t expect him or her to do “ALL” the leg work. Marketing and advertising takes allot of skill, you can’t expect you one source in getting the word out to go out and pass out the flyers to!
Get Real, get off that high horse and get working lazy-ass!

I once noticed a sign on a copywriters wall that said:
When shooting rapids in a canoe, if you say ‘I don’t know’, the river will decide for you. In marketing if you don’t know what to do, the river of consumerism will drop your brand right over the falls.
You and your team need to have a clear detailed plan of where you’re going and how to expect to get there. And equally important, that plan needs to be actively managed by the team, with changes and alterations as the consumer landscape data is refined into information and analyzed into knowledge.
Climb into you canoe – and get ready to ride the rapids.
Remember, things are not easily done over night. Success takes hard work, studying your competition and last but not least, make sure you involve your team in your next venture.
Keep moving forward, your time will come. Build a niche and mold an effective brand!

So we’ve started a new year, a beginning to a new decade to be exact. We all have a goal to make things easier for ourselves, continue to bring home the bacon… but we’re limited. Limited to time that keeps flying by when we have big plans to become successful. Limited to time that we cherish every second of with our loved ones. Limited to time that we keep trying to divide in so many ways to keep comfortable with the way we live, and it always comes down to money, mullah, dinero, yes the almighty yen.
Why do we torture ourselves ourselves like so you ask? Really?
Since it’s a beginning of a new year do yourself a favor and stop everything! Breathe! Catch up to your mental state of mind and give yourself a break, even if its for just an hour or two and write down your latest projects. Take the time and fix them up, make them look pretty and show them off to us, the public. Get the feedback your expecting, and if you get negative feedback all you can do is improve yourself, practice, get better and note everything down with pen and paper. Share with the world what you have done and see how inspiring you can be… share it with us! Take a breathe! Money isn’t everything… you need to be focused, be happy and the rest will flow naturally!

I first heard of this book over on twitter. Random tweeters were quoting this book and letting us all know how good it is. Every day it was something new from several photographers who were reading the book. It really caught my interest, I was telling myself that I have to read this book. It even became a top trend for a couple hours on twitter.

We all are facing the core of the budget crisis these days. I have spoken to many people in the past couple of weeks telling me that the competition today is tougher then normal… and these guys have been in the business for 20+ years now. They all tell me the same thing over and over again… “don’t give up, things are going to get better”!
