I was recently introduced to the term "Positive Optimism". The idea is to keep pushing towards a goal and believing in it. Part of it is skill, a bit of luck, and a lot of blind determination.
When I started out, I met with a life coach who asked what the biggest goal I could think of accomplishing in 6 months would be. "Shoot for the moon" type of question. I thought... heck, it would be amazing to photograph 1,000 head shots in that time. It was an arbitrary number that seemed wildly far away. I think I had photographed 10 friends at the time. Two weeks ago I had an amazing event at Oracle photographing some beautiful ladies at a Women in Leadership event... afterwards I thought that it may be a good time to start adding up numbers to see how close to my goal I was. 1,061!
I have a long way to go to bring this business as far as I'd like to take it, but am thrilled to have set a goal and accomplished it. Thanks to everyone that's participated thus far. I've loved photographing each and every one of you.
