Selina Maitreya, photographer consultant, wrote this for a recent blog post and wanted to share it with you…”As we start another year, walk in your integrity and make this YOUR
best year ever!” Lessons I’ve learned….Selina Maitreya 2011
- Never underestimate the power of a talented, driven photographer..
- The world is full of paradox.
- If you wait long enough things will shift completely.
- What goes around, comes around and around and around again.
- As we grow older the world gets smaller. Kindness is contagious.
- In the photo business everything has changed yet nothing has changed.
- Relationships still are key ,they just come into play at a different time.
- Vision is the value clients seek, and the statement photographers must
make again and again and again. - People are basically good.
- Nice guys do not finish last. Nor do nice women.
- The sky is NOT falling and print is not dead.
- Kindness is contagious.
- Vision is a divine gift. Successful photographers share consistent traits.
- Not sweating the small stuff leads to not sweating the really big stuff.
- Negativity is toxic. If photographers are grounded in negativity no
amount of marketing in the world will help them to grow their business. - Kindness is contagious.
- Dorothy was onto something when she told Toto
“People come and go so quickly around here!” - As crowded as the field of photo is, it is only competitive in numbers.
- Photographers as a group are the most interesting, fascinating,
talented, complicated, funny, and loving people. Having great intentions
to do anything gets you nowhere, with out action to fuel your desires. - Photography businesses take 2-4 years to fully mature once a solid vision
and a well developed sales /marketing program are in place. - Kindness is contagious.
- If you cheat or devalue your suppliers by constantly negotiating with
them to lower their fees, your clients will do the same with you. - A valued,respected and well paid employee will return the favor in
spades. - Smiling is good for your health. You can’ t smile without feeling
better, and happier. - Going to grace by listing what you are grateful for, will always turn
around a bad day. - Faith is the best companion you can have, and trust is a valued friend.
- Hard work is good for the soul, and a positive outlook can completely
change your world. - People are basically good and
- Kindness is contagious.
In Grace
With Gratitude
