There's No Easy Way…

PHOTO CHALLENGE |

I don’t know if you need to hear this or not, but as I’m seeing more ads pop up online and directed toward me about photography, the majority of it markets quick and easy ways to take better photos, edit like a pro, or earn six figures in a year. While there is no doubt some good and helpful content in there, I’m here to tell you that there is no easy, quick fix way to be good at something. Sure, there are some with a natural talent that make the rest of us who have to work hard for it seethe with jealousy, but that’s true of absolutely everything. There are also some who got into their niche in the market at the right time and they hustled like crazy. It’s nice to look back and think, “Wow, I only did this one thing and look at where I am!” But the truth is that it was far more than one thing. Success takes work. Some people also know exactly what they want right from the start, and that helps so much. But if you’re figuring out all those details, you’re just going to have to keep putting in the foot work.
