Yep. That’s right. Perhaps, the almost seemingly never-ending stream of bad luck coming my way is turning around…slowly…but it’s making me feel more optimistic.
You see, Nina needs direction in her life to fully operate correctly. I finally have some direction.
I have prayed and researched heavily about which direction I want to take my “career” life. Some people might think that my new direction is a bit, unsafe or silly. However, it’s the first time in a long time that I have felt “good” about a decision. Heck, it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve had a decision to make about life. I was just in some kind of horrible limbo…just chugging along, dragging my feet.
Now. Now I feel like I can breathe. Here is the unveiling – I am going to start a small business with me doing photography. I am very savvy towards small business affairs and I believe I have some natural talent with photojournalistic/magazine style photography. I know that it will take serious dedication toward researching, saving, marketing and advertising myself. I am of course not quitting my day job as of right now and will not unless I am gaining momentum that will secure my ability to pay bills and stock my shelves with food. I am not flighty. This is something that I want. I think that I have the right skill set for a successful small business owner. I have people skills and I wish to actually use them for profitability.
So there. There is the dirty little secret. I am going to carefully and calculatedly become a professional photographer. I currently have the desire to do Weddings, Engagement Portraits, High School Seniors Portraits, Fun/Casual Family Play Day Portraits and whatever else comes my way.
