“I’d rather you fail at something you love then succeed at something you hate.”

Faced with the decision to stay in law school and be miserable or pursue an unknown career in photography and be happy, Jasmine Star’s husband said the aforementioned to her. Following the positive affirmation from one of the most important people in her life, Jasmine left law school and dove head first into photography. Fast forward four years later and J* has one of the most successful photography businesses in the world. The girl is seriously a rock star in the photography world and to think… she has only been a photographer for 4 years.

So as you may imagine… when I heard that J* was doing an online photography workshop for 5 days, for FREE, I had to jump on the opportunity. The information this women has to offer is invaluable. Therefore, I’ve been sitting in front of my computer, for 5 hours, for the last two days, (and will continue to do so for the next 3 days) soaking up everything. Her topics range from marketing to branding to shooting. Tomorrow the workshop will cover a live wedding as Jasmine shoots it! Jasmine’s story and experience really speaks to me because she was in the exact same place that I’m in right now. It gives me hope that if I have faith in abundance, remain patient and persistent, and constantly get better at my craft that I can be successful at something I really love.

As a person that loves to learn, this opportunity has been right up my alley. At the end of the day… all this benefits me, my business, and my future clients. If you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best…

Until next time, as J* would say, K.I.R – Keep it real!
