Top 10 Ways To Fail As A Photographer

4. Photograph just like everyone else. Where’s your flare? What’s your style? Sure, everyone starts out at the bottom, and spends years working on their talent. But eventually you come up with your own style, and you become recognizable.

One only has to look to our own Leslie for proof! Great article with a lot of good things to think about!

10. Complain. What do you say when you’re out networking, or meeting with potential clients? Do you say things like, “business is rough” or “i haven’t had a new client in a month” or “the one business that referred me just shut their doors”. Would you want to work with someone that constantly complains? Or would you rather be around someone that’s always looking at it positively. Attitude is everything in this business.

All true in all businesses.

People want to use the successful guy. Appear successful and people will want to use you. You are then successful. Perception = reality.
