Day Two Introduction
Thank you so much for coming today. What I wanted to do was talk a little bit about the topics that are gonna happen today. A little Q and A from yesterday. So for the worldwide audience, if you have any questions about yesterday, the shoot or any of the marketing stuff, start bringing those in now because we wanted to just revisit that a little bit. Some of you are asking us a little bit before, so we wanted to give you all a chance to ask any other questions because we felt like we shoot was a little crazy and we didn't get a chance to answer very many questions. And even I know you guys couldn't hear me on something. So I want to feel like you realty. Ask me what you wanted to ask. And I also felt like I wasn't able to do everything I would have normally done. So I was gonna talk a little about that. We're gonna talk about projection sales with pro select and editing. How you edit. How do you get the best images from your shoot? A little bit of post processing jewels. I love watchin...
g her when she does her post processing so and then we're gonna end it with trying to have balance in your life, See if I could do that trying to have that. But first, a little inspiration. I think that everything I've experienced, even the really Tom times, are actually times that girl most. When you look back at mistakes you've made, you can take those away or change those because that's who makes what makes us who we are. I would have outsourced more work sooner. What is that? A lot more business structure in place. I've been focusing on the work I was very good at, and I enjoyed. So I have been more pleasant on a day to day basis. I would rather look at all the things I've done wrong in the mistakes I've made because they've made me and better business person for my clients. I found that the key difference is clarity of vision. It's a clarity of my visions. All we really know is what to do today that's in front of us a little bit. Just saved so many poignant things really short amount of time, and I love America's clarity of vision. I think we talked about that yesterday when we were doing out exercise, because the whole point of that exercise trying to figure out why I was like we were saying with what direction would would we go? Ultimately that would make us happy and finding a way to that. You know, for Europe first with vision is and then being clear on it and then being okay with change your mind about it sometimes for at least having some perspective and letting the opportunities that present themselves to you shake your destination like Michael. When you were saying that you have the option, didn't work that event, that you did the photo booth and that it blew up into three different events. How if it wasn't a direction that you wasn't the type of clients in the type of photography you were interested in doing, maybe you would have said no. Maybe would. And then if you had not been at those events, you wouldn't have met the people you met there for, perhaps because he chose a different type of event, you would have met other people and had other opportunities and your past do this kind of thing. So I know right now is not the work life balance. Harper love to go back to that, having to find clarity of vision. I don't know. That's in part of your talk to you. Well, one of the things is that I really respect those four women in particular Tambura America and Sarah and Vicky. They're all successful in their business. And I love how they're saying that the mistakes that they made have made them who they are and what Thomas said it Since it says it was them, I havent failed to found 10,000 things that don't work. No. And I think that's great to own up to mistakes. That's what we said. This war, if you don't try it off course, you're gonna fail, you know, it's never gonna happen. So if you try and it doesn't work, then you know something that doesn't work. And maybe the next time you will try smarter or go a different direction are. But I think a lot of it is just about you're saying like I just did it. I just decided to do it and then extended and it was done, like I think a lot of times we do have to just like jump in and do it. And then if it's too cold, you can always jump back out. But, you know, maybe you'll find during during the winter. I, um I helped coach school groups and cross country skiing and were the first things that I always tell them is You're gonna fall down today. It's guaranteed every single one. He's gonna fall. I'm gonna fall and falling is just how you brain teaches your body. How not to follow the next kind. You have to fall. Well, what about even in sports? I'm always surprise er, like baseball stride or football players constantly fall down and they don't hurt themselves. What? I just trip a little bit and I'm like, you know, like just literally they learn how to fall down. I, um, also like in the off season I coach a chamber chamber, music, a youth chamber, music or chamber orchestra and actually have our concert next week. But I mean learning an instrument and learning pieces. You have to play them over and over and over again. And I'm kind of cracked the whip on my students, and, um and I went through that, too, when I was learning to play. And so it's a very similar situation where you're gonna play something wrong, you have to do it again and not give up. That's the main thing I like, Tambor said when she said Outsource work sooner and that is is, I think, a brilliant idea because we tend to want to do everything ourselves, especially if we have a small business and where the only one in there, the only one in there and you feel like you have to do everything by yourself. That man who sold hats, he would walk through town with memory that started every hat on his head. Men all the monkey stole them abuse, but he was wearing every hat. It's kind of like the equivalent. I think so many of us do this when we open a business we were were wearing every high, like if you will put a grocery store, you wouldn't sweep the floors and the the checker and start the shells and, you know, lock up at night and be the one who cleans the toilets like it's just not realistic. Forget for us. Oftentimes that is exactly what we're doing. You know, we are own accountants or our own payroll. People were own editors where the shooters were the mark. Very sort of sales people at the end of the day, like, when are we ourselves? No time for it. And I think I think there's some kind of guilt associated with outsourcing. You know, it's it's interesting. I mean, I have a conversation, a lot about outsourcing, and John and I talked about it outsourcing other day and about losing control. But 99% of us is photographers. We outsource one of the most critical elements of our work, all of us. We send our stuff off to professional printers because they rock at printing Big knew better than we can, so we give it to them so we don't have to worry about it. And that's the most important part is are in product and we outsource that. So why do we get afraid to outsource other elements for visitors? You know, it's funny because I started to film and why I was personally wedding to be shot film, and we would like take these bags of film to the lab and then they would give us print. So our job was to shoot them as well as we could in camera. And then the lab job was to interpret what we had shot and produced a product for us. It wasn't no developing involved. I did printing. I love that. But it was more for fun. I wasn't like going here. Printing every image in the way that we do now are the way that a lot of people do now. So I always wondered why it wasn't more common, that people would have editors and like that. So you could be a professional photographer, his first professional editor, just like you were saying, There's professional printers and the labs that existed who would print are negatives for us. If everybody I think, like suddenly because you could do it, we're doing it and I don't think that's a good enough for you.
