The business of photography is like a treadmill – if you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward. Especially in today’s marketplace where all you need is a DSLR and a website to call yourself a professional, it is our tenacity, our “drive,” our stick-with-it-ness that will ultimately determine our success.
This is not a new concept for business owners. The dream of owning and operating a successful business is not without a price – long hours shooting, editing, refining skills, marketing, accounting, album designing, meeting with clients, etc. When many would-be photographers find out about this “price,” they will shy away and receede back into hobbyist mode. There’s nothing wrong with that – I myself am not willing to pay the price to be a full-time professional photographer. But realize that the difference between success and failure is likely our perserverence, our tenacity.
