Whip it up in your mind

I read an interesting quoteon Laura Novaks' blog. Its a quote from Jerry McGuire: "We are less ourselves than we were when we started this organization."

When things get too hectic, I hoarde my own projects. This makes no sense, I know! Realistically I'm hurting customers by not being the photographer they chose to invest in. I become less of what I am when I started this organization.

What's the dealio? In the not-too distant future, we're looking at outsourcing our entire office workflow. Email, calendar, booking, accounting, phone calls, even cleaning, its all going to be outsourced. That frees us up for at leat 25-40 hours a week! During that time I can shoot more, travel more, invest time with clients and other professionals. More time to learn and BE and think!

Until then, my breath of fresh air is on walks with Ray. Its our dream time. We stroll around the block, whipping up extravagant dreams parading on golden clouds. Its a time when I don't laugh at his dreams and he doesn't laugh at mine. The more we achieve together the more creative we'll have to be with new ideas. If you were to eavesdrop on one of these conversations, you would have a belly full of laughs!!

All I'm saying is that I know a lot less now, than when I started my own business, but one thing stays the same, keep it real. Because in the end, the more you know, the more you don't know. :-)


Have a great Tuesday!
